EVICTED Celebrity Big Brother star Zeze Millz has had 'homophobic' and apparently racist tweets resurface - before being mysteriously deleted.
The Sun has uncovered shocking historic posts made on the social media platform Twitter, now known as X, back in November 2010 and May 2011.

Despite being over a decade old, they were still live on Zeze's page as recently as Tuesday evening, before being mysteriously deleted on Wednesday morning after we approached her management.
The first offensive tweet, posted on Nov 3 2010, saw Zeze, now 34, make what many will see as a racist claim about Chinese restaurants.
A second tweet, made on May 18 2011, saw Zeze - who herself identifies as bisexual - appear to make a homophobic remark by replying to someone using a word that is used as a gay slur.

'Frustrating and surprising'
While The Sun will not repeat the upsetting language, a fan of the YouTube personality told us they were disappointed after coming across the social media posts.
"I was a fan of Zeze on Celebrity Big Brother, so I was really shocked and upset when I scrolled back through her social media and discovered her using a highly offensive term about the LGBTQ community.
"It was also frustrating and surprising to see her pedalling racist tropes about Chinese restaurants in an apparent attempt at humour.
"I appreciate these posts were made when she was a lot younger and people evolve, but watching her take impassioned stances on the show about now judging others feels hypocritical considering these tweets she has made in the past."
ITV responds
The follower also questioned the background checks ITV and production company Initial put into place.
"These shows claim to vet people's backgrounds and social media history but I stumbled on these tweets very easily and quickly, so clearly things are falling through the cracks."
The Sun contacted Zeze's reps multiple times and did not receive any response.
ITV and Initial commented: "Extensive background checks are carried out on all potential Housemates including a review of their social media history which provides an overview of how they use social media now and previously.
"The Big Brother rules set out expectations for behaviour in the House.

This is the second social media scandal to hit the show since ITV rebooted Big Brother back in October last year.
Second scandal
Trish Balusa on the civilian series came under fire when historic tweets she had written fourteen years ago resurfaced.
The shocking messages were posted in 2012 and included references to Asian people and lesbians, as well as vile Hitler tweets, which The Sun does not wish to repeat.
As a result of the posts coming to light, Trish's scheduled appearances on Big Brother's spin-off show Late & Live the week after her eviction were cancelled.
She was also uninvited from the series' final, which saw evicted housemates return.
After the scandal, Trish issued an apology for her words and any offence she caused.

ITV & Initial
Trish said: "I'm aware that some very concerning old tweets of mine have resurfaced and I would like to sincerely apologise for the harmful stereotypes I perpetuated and the pain I have cause to the marginalised communities and groups of people mentioned.
"There are no excuses for the ignorance that I showed and I am deeply disappointed, embarrassed and ashamed that I once made such comments.
"I have come a very long way since by educating myself and being educated by others on the impact and harm these views cause.
"It is part of the reason why I am so passionate about standing up for others and holding myself to a high standard of responsibility and accountability for my actions.
"I appreciate the support you've all given me on the show and I understand you feel disappointed.
"I know apologies can seem convenient in these circumstances but I mean it from the bottom of my heart; I am truly sorry.
"I hope it is possible for you to offer me grace and believe that people can change.
"I am committed to being the person I am now, the person you have known me as - someone who speaks up, stands for what they believe in and is always open to growth and accountability. Love Trish."
Zeze is yet to issue a statement in regards to the posts.
She was evicted from the house on Tuesday evening in a double eviction along with Marisha Wallace.
ITV is yet to confirm whether she will attend the live final on Friday evening.
