As you’re sure to know by now, last week, iconic entertainer Christopher Biggins was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house over making “numerous offensive remarks”.

Soon after he was called into the diary room and asked not to use offensive language again while in the house, which he agreed to.
The 67-year-old pantomime star, who was the bookmakers’ favourite to win, reportedly made comments that were considered “capable of causing great offence” and was ejected from the celebrity reality television show, the Daily Mail reported.
I think it was a bisexual disease to be honest.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “Renee [Graziano] said she knew a Central Intelligence Agency man who told her that the American government had come up with the virus in order to get rid of people in third world countries – I had also heard the rumour”.
He claimed HIV had been spread by bisexuals who had sex with people with the virus overseas “and brought it back to their own families in America and that’s how it became a worldwide disease”. On the day of his exit, he also discussed an apparent conspiracy theory about the spread of Aids with Mob Wives star Renee Graziano where he called it a “bisexual disease”.
“I am very sorry and I am very sad”, Biggins said in response to the news.
Lady Colin Campbell has launched a scathing attack on Celebrity Big Brother after Christopher Biggins was removed for making a joke about a Nazi concentration camp. “I apologised to Big Brother and Katie”, Biggins explained.
He’d also made comments to Katie Waissel who said she wasn’t in the house to represent Jewish people.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he said, ‘I am mortified by what’s happened, really mortified’.
But others thought it was biphobic and Biggins deserved to leave.
Fellow housemates Ricky Norwood and James Whale packed the panto star’s case after the group were gathered on the sofas to be told that Biggins would not be returning.
Viewers were divided over whether what Biggins said came under “free speech”.

Over the years, what we’ve learned is that there are some clear differences when it comes to the American and British versions of “Big Brother” when it comes to what you tolerate and don’t tolerate within the house.
