Luke Valentine has been removed from the Big Brother USA house after using the N-word.
The incident was caught on the show's live feeds on Tuesday night and the clip subsequently went viral, with many fans calling on producers to kick him out.
In a conversation with three other HouseGuests, the 30-year-old remarked: "We were in the cheese room, n*****!"
Valentine then covered his mouth and laughed, correcting his sentiment to "dude" as his fellow contestants stood in shock.
A statement from CBS said: "Luke violated the Big Brother code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur.
"He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night's show."
