JIM DAVIDSON left Hell's Kitchen today after a heated row with Brian.

On tonight's show, viewers will see the events leading up to Jim's departure which began during service last night.

Referring to a look he thought had been given by a table of diners, Jim said to Paul and Brian: "Why do shirt lifters pull that same face?"

"Please don't say shirt lifters it's really rude," Brian responded.

"I don’t care," said Jim "Gay men have the same look… It's a sort of preen."

After a series of heated exchanges, the notorious comic claimed that Brian was playing the homophobic card, and branded him a "f*****g disgrace".

"I am equal to you Jim in everything we have ever done," said the 29-year-old.

Jim replied: "Sure – that’s what GAY stands for – Good As You. I know that."

Brian finished: "Jim don't say that, I am Brian, not Good As You.

"I'm literally speechless. Empty, disgusted and the most vulnerable I have ever felt in my whole life."

See the row on ITV1 tonight at 9pm.

Jim Davidson left the show today following a series of altercations which came to a head in a row with Brian last night.

Tonight we will see the events leading up to the comedian’s departure, which began as Kelly sipped champagne with Angus following her sacking.

Having survived the public vote for the second time, Jim returned to the kitchen, saying that he thought he’d been given a funny look by a table of diners. “Why do shirt-lifters pull that same face?” he asked Paul and Brian.

“Please don’t say shirt-lifters,” a shocked Brian replied. “It’s really rude.”

“I don’t care,” Jim insisted. “…Some gay men have the same look.”

“What look?” Brian asked. “Do I do have that look?”

“No, only when you put it on,” Jim explained. “It’s a sort of preen.”

And later on in the garden after service, the row flared up again when a horrified Brian asked Jim to explain himself further.

“Why do you have to play the homophobic card?” Jim protested. And despite Paul’s best efforts, the bust-up ballooned yet again.

“How can you say that to me?” Brian sobbed. “I am sitting right beside you. I am an equal to you Jim, in everything we have ever done.”

“Sure – that’s what GAY stands for,” Jim sneered. ‘Good As You’. I know that.

“Jim don’t say that,” Brian protested. “Jim, I am Brian – not ‘Good As You’. I am an equal to you. You are being really, really horrible to me now …Why can’t I be Brian and you be Jim?”

Brian then broke down in tears, and Adele and Abbey tried to lead him out of the room. “I won’t walk away” he protested. “I won’t be as Good As You. I will be BAY – Better Than You.”
