ITV star dumped by Reform UK after election row | TV & | UK News

An ITV star has taken to social media to give their opinions on Reform UK after admitting the celebration had revoked their membership. George Gilbert, a 23-year-old actor-turned-parish councillor from Finchingfield, close to Braintree, Essex, was one of the celebrities of the 2025 version of ITV’s actuality show Big Brother. He was eliminated from the home in October 2025 due to “repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour” after receiving a number of warnings about his conduct.

Filming with his telephone as he walked outside, he told followers he can be voting Green in the upcoming council elections on May 7. “Trust me, even I never thought I’d be saying that – it feels so naughty,” he quipped. “But it’s true, because Reform UK… is merely an establishment Trojan horse there to conciliate us into inaction. Into thinking, ‘Oh, it’s all sunshine and roses because Nigel [Farage] is at the helm’. Not true,” he insisted. “Don’t play the game. Don’t fall for it, because Reform, we all know, is made up of a load of failed conservative associates and ministers,” he said.

“So that should be the biggest sign you need to realise that they’re just all talk, no walk,” he continued.

“But also, people are going, ‘Oh George, why don’t you pledge allegiance to Restore Britain. Are they up your street? Well, right now, it’s just a skeleton…of a party, and there’s no meat on the bone. There’s not much structure.

“So bearing that in thoughts, yeah, perhaps in the future, who is aware of…but Restore Britain haven’t got any councillors operating on May 7, not in my space, as far as I do know anyway, so I can not vote for them.

“So next best thing, let’s try and do as much damage as we can to Reform, whether you’re Restore or anyone else.

“We don’t need Reform to do effectively to get that momentum, so we wish to stunt the momentum as best as we are able to, and to do that, we must vote for their greatest competitor for me in my space, that’s the Greens.

“So that’s what I’m saying. Vote for the Greens if in your area, if it’s Labour or whatever else, vote for them, because we don’t want what Reform does.

“…That’s the message of the day. I have never misplaced my head. I’m lethal critical when I say I’m voting Greens, and like I say, my DMs are open if any inexperienced division desires me to go leafleting or communicate at an event,” he said.

“…I’ll do something because I do not need them to win. I would like to see them burn, all proper. Vote Green,” he concluded.
