He made a jokey remark about pant lines showing in tight white trousers, it was Darcie who said commando as the audience was making so much noise they could not hear each other and she misheard him,(that was why he had to explain about the VPL) he then had to make a 2nd joke about not going commando at the BBC, yes it was all a bit laboured but the audience yowling (god knows what at) and Bruce sticking his oar in did not help, Bruce was right in his face when making the "joke" about no one laughing in a way he would not to any of the other males in the competition. it did not seem light hearted to me!




I can't remember what Darcy said earlier but that was probably something risque but not gay-related.”
