These accusations only intensified when a supposed transcript of the conversation surfaced on Twitter via a Celebrity Big Brother Twitter fan page.

Biggins’ comments were cut from the show by Channel 5 but rumours began to leak out on Friday of his allegedly anti-Semitic remarks.
Gay British “national treasure” Christopher Biggins has shocked audiences of Celebrity Big Brother with his comments about bisexual people.
Channel 5 bosses made a decision to remove the star – a former victor of I’m a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here – after what they termed as a “number of comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public”.
It went on to say that Mr. Biggins “has made a number of comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public”.
While in the house, Biggins had said: ” You better be careful or they’ll be putting you in a sho wer and taking you to a room”, as housemates queued for the bathroom.
Later in the garden, Biggins was talking to Grant before his eviction.
Biggins also made a joke about the Holocaust to former X Factor star Katie Waissel, who is Jewish.
Comedian Ricky Gervais weighed in on the situation tweeting: “Why put a warning on Big Brother saying some viewers may find it offensive & then evict someone for saying something that may be offensive?”
The 67-year-old television personality was booted from the famous abode for using “offensive language” which could cause “widespread offence”.
“If something was said in jest which caused offence then I am certain that was not his intention”.
Renee was as much to play in that conversation as Biggins was. I think it was a bisexual disease to be honest.
The pantomime veteran said he will continue with a pre-planned trip in October to the Polish city of Krakow and visit the nearby concentration camp, where more than one million people, predominantly Jews, were killed by the Nazis.
He also said that LGBT is seen as “trendy” in modern society.
He added: “That’s what I’ve read and that’s what I believe”. Do you have a story for The Sun Online news team?
