Biggins said: “Gays had been really badly treated, then suddenly they became respected”.
Graziano said she had been told by an unnamed former Central Intelligence Agency agent that “they gave it (Aids) to kill off third world countries”, which Biggins agreed with, stating he thought it was “man-made”.

Biggins also made a joke about the Holocaust to former X Factor star Katie Waissel, who is Jewish.
