Interesting that he said he was glad he didn't say anything worse!

I think Biggins has got away with this whole - I can be risque and say what I like because life's just a big hoot and I love everyone and they all love me - persona for too long! I'm not convinced his friends always think his comments are so fabulous! I suspect they'll be more wary after this anyway!

What interests me is that Biggins was in the jungle for weeks in IACGMOOH. If this is how Biggins is, it surely is likely that during that show he'd have come out with some unpleasant remarks. Were they simply edited out?
The only conclusion I can come to is that this CBB has created such an unsafe and challenging environment that people's worst traits come out. And this is a reflection on what BB has become.

Didnt he say he had been chastised thrice?

So that would be the original bi comment, and the shower joke.....so what was the third?

Joke or not I'm glad he got kicked out. Good riddance!

So he makes offensive remarks then does lots of tabloid interviews and gets paid for them.

If he was truly sorry he would donate the interview fees to charity.

When someone donates their fee or is not taking payment it is listed at the end of the interview saying so.

He seems a bitchy old queen to me.

Why have channel 5 not shown this?

The bisexual and AIDS comment shown on the highlights show yesterday .

the best part about all the outrage over biggins' remarks is people who can't stop themselves from using slurs and hateful language when expressing their outrage....

glass houses, people.

Biggins said that BB didn't air the conversation to protect him.
Isn't Biggins admitting then he knows he has done wrong by saying this and a bit dim to say this in an interview and to refer to things like his black neighbours in Hackney when BB havent even shown any comments towards black people.
He is digging a bigger hole for himself

There was a suggestion that BBs legal people got involved. Presumably they warned the producers there was a chance that if BB showed the comments in question they might be subjet to a large fine

He says he wasn't aware at the time that his comment meant that!.But when asked if he was referring to the extermination showers.He said he suppose he was. He's just a witty man.He says he didn't mean to offend.
What I find sad is that it's not Katie who made the complaint.But her family watching the show who are going a lot on hearsay.
Despite what her family said they've brought up a lot of hearsay stuff.

He said nothing anti Semitic.At worst it was an I'll thought out joke.
I believe her family are also not thinking this through.
Don't believe for one minute he would have said that 50 years ago when despite being 30 years after the war the relatives of the jews who suffered in whatever way knew those people personally.
Despite knowing it younger people today have little concept of the time factor involved .
Her mother is pushing views of the generation or even two before her It is 70 years ago minimum and over 80 since anti scemitism started .Even before that with the Hitler Youth movement.
Katie should be asked and the other housemates based on a silly comment which like Chinese whispers has become anti scemitism.I doubt if he even thought about what he was saying.
He certainly does not show anything but liking to her.

Classic victim blaming. Disgusting and shows that he doesn't really think that he did anything wrong


He's covering all his options. He knows perfectly well that he has said things that are unacceptable and he's covering his backside - without realising that he's just dug himself a bigger hole.


It's the kind of joke that gets made to shocked gasps in the drag community (certainly in the 1980s when I used to frequent such places) where the more shocking the better. He is obviously too stupid to realise that what someone can get away with in a venue filled with a niche audience is totally wrong for saying in a public arena.


Spot on

There were a few occasions in IAC when I thought what a duplicitous fake his "lovely, harmless" persona was.

Well, whenever I watch IACGMOOH I moan about how little we see of them interacting, conversing - partly, of course, due to the large amount of time taken with the tasks. So they broadcast very little of what is said in the camp in my opinion.


Perhaps it's time that young people were made more aware of history, after all it's what shaped the nation we live in today and the freedoms they enjoy - do they not learn about it at school? With such an increase in Right-Wing groups right now across Europe (including here in the UK), along with the increase in racially-motivated crime in the UK and in Europe, the rise in neo-Naziism in Europe, the increase in far-right support across Europe, people should never forget how it can end once it starts, grows and is allowed to flourish.


As a nation we have always laughed at jokes about the war (shh, don't mention the war ) but jokes are made with certain audiences in mind, certain parameters and generally knowing who you're talking to. If you go to see a comedian, or turn on the TV to watch some comedy show that's risque, you tend to know what you're going to get and you chose to attend/watch or not.

I also think that we should joke about things that are what some consider to be untouchable topics, but I also understand that people have a right to be offended by same.

I think BB decided that they don't know what Biggins could say next, he'd already paid no heed to their warnings and decided that an accumulation of the 3 incidents called for his removal.

I also cannot imagine that Katie didn't at least talk to BB about the incident, the HMs tend to talk to BB about most things, whether asked or not. I can't imagine they didn't ask her something about it.

No, he said it before he got pulled in for those.

The distinction, for me at least, is that he wasn't saying 'all jews should be gassed' that's hate speech. He was simply referencing a time in history and comparing it to how they are treated in the house. It was a bad joke but it wasn't meant to offend.

To deny the holocaust is to diminish it's atrocity and the fight Jewish people have faced. (I'm not Jewish)

Again, the bisexual thing was the opinion of an old, out of touch gentleman. Again, people are allowed to have opinions and hopefully are educated along the way.

Saying that bisexual assisted the spread of a predominantly homosexual disease is again an opinion.

I'm not a fan of the Bigz but I don't think he should have been removed.

Yeah they probably told him off before showing us then probably reviewed the situation called him back and decided to remove him .

Yes, he can get away with a lot, as long as he adds that insincere laugh at the end of his sentences.

On that show they only really focus on the trials. You end up seeing very little personality traits of the celebrities.

It always me that by the end of the show we never really learn anything about any of them, or what their opinions are on anything.

They should have shown all of the comments, not just see of them. It is ridiculous how they pick and choose which ones are more offensive than others. He mentioned women, bisexuals, then the Jews. We did not see the joke, so why have we not seen it? It was a joke, also, which is even more ridiculous, considering his other comments about women, etc.

What happens to these people when they get offended?

Any examples of why you've found him to be most unpleasant?
