Must not disrespect bisexuals

Christopher Biggins has been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother House it was confirmed on Friday evening.

Despite being a favourite to win, a statement circulated by the Channel 5 show producers announced the 67-year-old TV presenter had left the house.

The news, which came just a few hours before the first eviction night, came as a surprise to many.

The statement read: 'Big Brother has taken the decision to remove Christopher Biggins from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

'Since entering Big Brother, he has made a number of comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public.

'Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language capable of causing widespread offence. Christopher Biggins has left the house.'

It is not yet known what comments Biggins, a reality show regular who won the 2007 series of I'm A Celebrity, made to cause offence.

However, at the beginning of the week the entertainer ruffled a few feathers during a conversation about bisexuality with housemate Rene Graziano.

Biggins was seen questioning Renee about her feelings towards gay people, with the Mob Wives cast member responding: 'It's beautiful… it's who you are and I think it's natural, but I think today in society, I think they kind of force things on people and confuse you.'

Biggins replied: 'I think the worst type though, I'm afraid to say, is the bisexuals.'

And as Renee went further, adding that bisexuality 'upsets' her, Biggins continued: 'What it is, is people not wanting to admit they're gay… be honest, that's what you've got to be.'

Renee then responded: 'You can pick any one you want! But you have to pick a team.'

Frankie Grande, who is gay, agreed with the duo.

Biggins' comments sparked outrage on social media at the time, with one viewer tweeting: 'Disgusted at the attitudes of Renee and Biggins towards bisexuality.'
