Can anyone remember when Hells Kitchen was on the year with Jim Davidson, Brian Dowling and Lee Ryan, did Lee quit the show because of Jim Davidson? I remember the term "pikey" being used in relation to Lee, don't know if he said it himself or was called it

He said he had friends who were travellers and took exception to the chef's remarks, however he seemed to struggle with the pressure of life in a busy kitchen.
It was nothing to do with Jim Davidson.
There was also a big upset between the two later in the evening, where Jim used the phrase "good as you" to describe what 'gay' means, after Jim used the "shirtlifter" term while saying he thought most gay men had a certain look to them.
I thought there may have been more to it, I couldn't understand why Brian broke down in tears. As far as arguments go there wasn't much to it, and Brian had no trouble giving as good as he got in the past.
He did not call Brian a shirtlifter. He used the term when talking about homosexuality. Brian was offended. Jim refused to apologise. I love Brian but I did feel that he was making the series all about him. Jim was rude but did attempt a discussion, hence the Good As You comment. Brian cried over and over. I felt it was right for Jim to go as the more he tried to talk about it and the more Brian grizzled the worse it looked for Jim In the end I was glad to see the back of him so we could to back to the cooking part which had been forgotten in all the drama. Brian later admitted to making a fuss when it was unnecessary.
I was under the impression that he wasn't kicked out but it was his own decision to leave.
