Default Tila Tequila will still get paid £100k



Her racist past was revealed which led to her being kicked out of the house but a loophole in her contract means she will still receive her fee.

Tila Tequila was kicked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house after just one day but will still receive her full £100,000 fee.

It was discovered that the US reality star, 34, had made comments sympathising with Adolf Hitler which caused an immediate backlash and led to her being kicked out by Channel 5 bosses.

However, it's now been reported that despite her racist views, Tila - born Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen - didn't 'technically break any rules' of her appearance contract.

It was thought originally that Tila may have to return the sum but according to the Daily Star a 'contractual loophole' means she will keep the cash.

A source told the paper: "Channel 5 has tried to get the money back but can't because on paper it's her money. Technically she didn't break any rules in the house, so she hasn't voided her contract."

It's a disappointment for the Jewish watchdog Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, who exposed the star in the first place.

A spokesman said: "It is unfortunate if Channel Five now has to pay a Hitler sympathiser a large sum under the terms of her contract.

"This should be a lesson to producers who make the mistake of casting an anti-semite in their programmes."
