Viewers had to wait until yesterday’s episode (August 6) which depicted the events leading up to Biggins’ removal to find out what the offensive comments were.

Earlier in the series, the pantomime veteran and actor also made contentious comments about bisexuals and Aids.
They added: “I found the fact that he enjoyed taunting the Germans on the set next door a little harsh to be honest, but everyone seemed to take it in jest”.
During his time on the program, Biggins, who is homosexual and has a civil union with a same-sex partner, blamed bisexuals for the spread of AIDS.
Another contestant claimed she had been told by an unnamed former Central Intelligence Agency agent that “they gave it (Aids) to kill off third world countries”.
But that wasn’t all.
According to the Sun, Biggins was warned by Big Brother for making a holocaust “joke” during an unnaired conversation with Katie Waissel.
He said he apologized to Waissel and Big Brother for the “trite, ridiculous remark”.
He said: “I think the worst type is the bisexuals, what it is is people not wanting to admit they are gay”.
But while Biggins clearly has the propensity to suffer from foot-in-mouth disease, I honestly don’t believe he ever intends to upset anyone. “I love you and I’m really sorry”, he told the newspaper.
He continued, “I am mortified by what’s happened, really mortified”. It’s a really unusual atmosphere, you meet your housemates and as the days unfold you get more comfortable with them and of course you start talking about your previous life, what you did before.
The former I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here victor was removed from the CBB house after he made “comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public” making reference to both AIDS and Nazi’s in separate situations. “And I have no problem at all talking about my time with Anthea”.

The source even revealed that while a German beer commercial was being filmed in the next room Biggins got all the actors – who were dressed in Nazi uniforms – to ambush the German people in the next room. It’s just not in my vocabulary that word. “So to be chastised for those sorts of things is very sad”.
