Shamed Big Brother contestant Ellis Hillon is now facing the sack from her job at McDonald's over racist historic tweets.

The fast food giant confirmed it has launched its own investigation into the 19-year-old's social media activity after she was kicked out of the Big Brother house for allegedly posting the vile tweets four years ago - just a day into the latest series.

Ellis, from Cambuslang, Glasgow, works in the McDonald's fast food restaurant on London Road but is now under investigation by company bosses.

McDonald's told the Mirror: "We do not comment on individual employees but can confirm we are looking into these alleged social media posts."

The Mirror exclusively revealed that her place in the house was in jeopardy less than 12 hours after she walked in.

Producers started an investigation after disgusting racist messages sent from her old Twitter account resurfaced.

The teenager, who worked in McDonald's before bagging a place in the BB house, allegedly posted grim tweets about the September 11th tragedy and also used the n-word in messages that were were deleted hours after the launch show.

In a statement confirming her departure on Saturday afternoon, Big Brother said: "As a result of our investigation into offensive and unacceptable posts on social media, Ellis Hillon has been removed from the Big Brother House."

Doubts over her future on the show first began when eagle-eyed fans spotted at least two tweets that hadn't been taken down before she went into the house.

One, sent on September 11 2014, when Ellis was 15, read: "Oh ****** aye its 9/11!! RIP to everyone who died n ****** they smelly p**i terrorist bastards!!!"

Another tweet on January 24 2015 said: "Real n****s #sbo."

That Twitter account, with the handle @ellishillon, was completely deleted a few hours after Ellis entered the house on Friday night's launch show.

Channel 5 bosses, who would have been hoping for less scandals this series after a controversial CBB, launched an internal investigation.

“We are currently investigating the authenticity of a number of historic social media posts,” a Channel 5 spokesman told Mirror Online on Saturday morning.

Producers later decided that they had no choice but to permanently remove Ellis from the house.

Ellis' sister Nevada - who is currently operating a new Twitter account under the handle @HillonEllis - hit back at claims her sibling posted the vile tweets.

"There were no bad tweets!!! People just talk absolute rubbish and make fake things up," she wrote.

"There will be no negativity here and my sister will shine. Good night!!!!!"

But she then liked a tweet from a supporter, who said: "Wasn't she 15 when she tweeted that?"

Ellis caused controversy on launch night when she flashed her bum on her entrance into the house.

yeah looks like going on Big Brother was a mistake

So she's not even owning up to them and apologising instead she's being defensive and trying to pass the blame to her siblings. Have fun at the jobcenter sis

Which is why people should be careful what they say on Social Media.

Although having said that, I do feel uncomfortable that paedophiles and rapists can work in Restaurants with celeb Chefs or be in the media eye as a reformed figure, yet a girl who was 15 at the time Tweeted a few offensive things and isn't even allowed to then compete on Big Brother, Showbiz is ****ed up.

Whatever she said was wrong but i hope the person who found the tweets is utterly ashamed with themselves because their jealousy is ruining someones life

But...this IS commenting on an individual employee!

I feel quite sorry for the girl now tbh. Whichever person was sad enough to hunt her social media may have now got her sacked from the job she had (even if it is just mcdonalds) and may make it hard for her to find work anywhere else too. Because of some twitter posts.

Exactly what I was thinking

Who has the time to scroll through probably hundreds of Tweets.

I was literally about to say this. You recovering racist need to lock it up!

We all know she is trash, but this thing about people's lives being ruined because of something they posted years ago is just getting ridiculous.

And it doesn't make any sense. An admitted criminal arsonist is in the house. Hopkins was allowed in. Even Rodrigo was allowed to stay after using the N word.

I've read one of these tweets though... It was not just a nasty comment, it was slagging of all Pakistani people calling them smelly and saying how many of them are out to cause another 9/11 attack...

That's not just a stupid comment

I'm more concerned with the constant tedious sex talk from others there, which no doubt CH5 encourage.

This is ridiculous. Unless her social media directly links her to her job as well they shouldn't be allowed legally to fire her...
But also... let a person grow and evolve already. Let her put her past behind her and move forward. Not being able to find work and being lambasted by media are not going to lead to progress. Society is going to push this kid over the edge... and then who will take responsibility for her suicide?
