Regardless, it still doesn't make it right

Have just read his interview in the Sun and thought it seemed strange whilst defending himself he said

“I love Jewish people. Listen, my best friend is Lesley Joseph. You can’t get much more Jewish than that.

“I have a lot of bisexual friends and I’m not in any way a bigoted person.

I’m 67 and I love everybody. I live in Hackney and I have a lot of black neighbours who are fantastic.

“It’s just not in my vocabulary that word. So to be chastised for those sorts of things is very sad.”

So did he say something racist they havent shown?

You should never say anything offensive about Women, Black people, Muslims, Jews or Gays.. you`ll never get away with it. Just offend straight, white men.. you`ll be safe

Not cool Biggins, not cool at all

I can't understand the sheer stupidity of these pampered oafs. If someone offered me 150,000 big ones for a few weeks work I'd just keep my head down and pick up the easiest pay cheque I'd ever have earned. It's not that hard is it

Indeed he would have. Likewise the disabled, mentally ill, gypsies etc. It honestly doesn't bear thinking about. Horrendous.

Address it how? He's been kicked out for his remark - that's how they've addressed it - what more do you think they can do?

Wonder how much the news paper paid him.

He's made himself seem worse in the interview lol. What a fool.

I don't think that what happened just prior to, and during ww2 regarding Jews, gypsies, and any other minority groups that didn't toe the nazi line, should ever be joked about, in any context, ever. It should never be forgotten how incredibly wicked mankind can be, because that day, it might happen again.

It wouldn't surprise me, BB are very selective about the details of Biggins's transgressions. He's practically on the staff at BOTS so we're only privy to the less career damaging information.

It was probably right that they didn't air it and instead just referred to it in hindsight as he was being ejected. A crass, irresponsible remark if ever there was one

It is happening at the minute, but no one in authority cares.

But they cover up all kinds of stuff - sometimes LF is continual birdsong.

Katie and Amy had mutual friends and Amy befriended Katie, took her to her local and told her to ignore the haters when Katie was having a bad time of it after the x factor. Katie's gonna have a soft spot for her.

The interviews made him look worse lol ''Katie has issues'' '' I could've said worse''
He's obviously said something offensive about blacks...

That word eh?

So he probably said a word that rhymes with the name of a feline character from Winnie the Pooh.

Throwing the object at the mirror, is just normal for Bear, I doubt anyone who knew him would cast a glance of concern at this behaviour. I remember Marnie saying early doors she knew what he was like/capable of and would not call him out in company but preferred to talk to him alone about his ' I will kiss anybody I like' speech'...got her nowhere, even though she picked her time and place.

Maybe it's me.....but....I saw confrontation between Heavy D and Bear twice.....Bear was more threatening, only, and I strongly mean only because he knew he was perfectly safe within the confines of the security of the BB guys.

Heavy D backs down, mostly, as guys of his size tend to do in that kinda situation. Big guys aren't always the best contenders you know? lol Bigger they come harder they fall and all that! lol

Don't watch because of this.

That transcript is starting to look more plausible now

The scariest bit of all

Acknowledging that there was more that contributed to his removal than shown in the highlights show would be a good place to start.

I don't agree on his ejection, however I do wish he would own up to his views and not try to back track. The "I have black/gay/muslim\ friends" kind of excuse is a bit old.

True.

So basically he's saying some of his best friends are black/Jewish/bisexual.

Classic.

Just read it and that was a dreadul thing to have said! Millions died that way, and he made a joke of it. Disgusting!
