I missed the main show tonight and tuned in to itv2 show to catch up.
immediatly felt queasy at the sight of r kane making 'kidney bean face' and singing the kidney bean face song with ms flack, who then encouraged viewers to send in their own pics of their kidney bean faces and then cut to a shot of lembit whilst trying to contain her laughter.
am i the only one who is uneasy at this and the constant ridiculing of this man, have i missed something, definitely felt what they did was wrong myself, what do you think, i now feel like voting for LEMBIT

i found Lembit really irritating, now not so much. But I dont know if that's because McKeech has taken over.

I think maybe he was brought in with intention of being the fall guy, but he has been mildly irritating but also keen to help gets stuck in and trys to get on with everyone and dealt with the ribbing fro others really well./
but since when is it ok for presenters to make fun of somebody because of how they look, it is making me mad thinking about it, don't get me wrong, i am not a Lembit superfan, but would the producers allow them to make fun of others in the camp because of how they look or a disability

I don't see the ITV2 show, but that is not on. The man is facially disfigured as the result of a serious accident. Would they make fun of Simon Weston's facial disfigurement? I think not.

Let's see if they start on Hammond. That'll show us where their boundaries lie.

She's an ITV employee, so probably not.

Unfortunately some of these so called comedians think it is acceptable to make fun of people, that is where children get it from - adults. Shame on them. I quite like Lembit, he seems a genuinly nice guy who is doing nobody any harm in there, but they pick on him, I suppose they think a politician is fair game, glad he is good natured and doesn't get upset by it.
