Trish has issued an apology over the 'very concerning' social media comments on a deactivated account

Big Brother contestant Trish Balusa has apologised for “very concerning” remarks she posted on social media before she went on the reality TV series. Trish, described by the show as a 33-year-old mother from Luton, was eliminated during Friday’s episode of the ITV2 series.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Trish wrote: “I’m aware that some very concerning old tweets of mine have re-surfaced, and I would like to sincerely apologise for the harmful stereotypes I perpetuated and the pain I have caused to the marginalised communities and groups of people mentioned. There are no excuses for the ignorance that I have showed and I am deeply disappointed and embarrassed and ashamed that I once made such comments.

She also said this was “part of the reason” that she holds herself to a “high standard of responsibility and accountability”. “I appreciate the support you’ve all given me on the show and I understand you feel disappointed,” Trish added. Trish did not be appear on spin-off chat show Big Brother: Late & Live on Sunday and is being supported under the show’s welfare protocols. Before taking part on the show, the former housemate, who is originally from the Congo, she said she wanted to “humanise refugees and immigrants” and show there are “real humans” behind the statistics.
