TV bosses kept Andrew Tate on Big Brother despite knowing he was being investigated for alleged rape, a documentary claim.
Producers for the Channel 5 reality hit were reportedly informed of the criminal probe but told police the controversial influencer was "good for TV".
It was only when a leaked video emerged showing former kickboxer Tate hitting a half-naked woman with a belt in an apparent sex game that he was finally kicked off the 2016 series.
The claims are revealed in Channel 4 documentary I am Andrew Tate, which airs at 9pm tonight.
