Utterly ridiculous to remove him if it was based just off of the Bisexual comments. He is entitled to his opinion. Just as people don't believe sexuality is fluid etc.

I think he made an ass of himself and would have preferred a much better public eviction to boo's and Emma questioning him on his comments.

If anyone seen BB USA with Aaryn Gries you'll see her comeuppance was much greater being disgraced on national TV than simply removing her.

C5 doesn't have a free choice about what's allowed. There's a broadcasting code, administered by Ofcom, that C5 has to follow as a condition of C5's broadcasting licence. They can't just allow people to say potentially offensive things on the grounds that it's their opinion and they're entitled to it.

Absolutely, he is entitled to his opinion and it's ridiculous that he's been removed if it really was for the comments they aired.

Interesting how Channel 5 had no issue airing his views on bisexuality twice but not his comments towards Jews...

You have a point.

However, people who say disgraceful things would never win the show as its the public who vote. They'd be publically shamed, which is much better comeuppance.

Aaryn getting hers BTW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1LV8wRhe9Y

Removal should happen IMO only in extremes. This includes violence, extreme racism, extreme discrimination.

They do however have the right to choose what not to air and as such have seemingly decided not offending Jews is more important than not offending bisexuals.

Might be worth reading this, in Biggins own words.
