Big Brother has spoken to Paul Danan following his 'race row' with Karthik Nagesan.


The pair clashed on Celebrity Big Brother 2017 over the weekend after Paul pronounced Karthik's name wrong, leading to an argument over supposed racism.



In tonight's show, Karthik and Paul clear up any issues surrounding the comments about racism in the house. Karthik tells Paul; “Reset. I said a few things. You said a few things. Now we are, reset.”

Paul responds saying, “I apologise for getting worked up.”

After, Big Brother invites Paul into the Diary Room and says: "Paul, Big Brother just wanted to call you in regarding your ongoing conversations with Karthik. During your conversation, Karthik misheard you and thought you had said Qatar."

"I didn't, I said Kartha," Paul insists.

Big Brother continues: "With that in mind, it's understandable that Karthik may have thought you were potentially using racist language as it's the name of a Middle Eastern airline and could therefore be seen as demeaning and inappropriate. Can you see it from his side?"



"Absolutely I can, and I completely understand," Paul replies. "If people say Danan wrong and I'm not even going to say the way people can say it but there's a certain thing, I think Sam said it once... don't call me, please don't call me that. It brings up stuff from my school or whatever where people have got it wrong and it really grates on me.

"So I completely get him and I really understand. I know how it feels. It was the last thing in the world I would want him to think. Now it makes sense and I feel a bit s**t about it actually. I think that's going to be very clear and it will not be repeated.

Elsewhere in tonight's show, Karthik is put up for the first eviction of the series.

It’s the third and final day of the weekend's nominations task. Paul, Helen, Amelia, Shaun, Derek, Brandi and Sam are VIP members of the Big Brother Club. They are immune from eviction. The remaining housemates, known as the ‘riff raff’, must continue to wait on them hand and foot.

.
To conclude the task, Big Brother gathers the VIP’s to the private members club. The ‘riff raff’ secretly watch from the living room. The VIP’s must then shred three more housemate memberships - putting them up for evictiion - and explain why.

The first person up for eviction is Karthik. Brandi says; “I find him disrespectful, and I honestly don’t like him.”



Sam supports this comment, saying; “On personality alone I vote K, obviously. Because he’s a bit of a d*ck.”

Celebrity Big Brother airs tonight at 9PM on Channel 5.

Coming from the woman who didn't believe "fag-got" was a homophobic term.

Of course she bloody does.

As Dezzy says, it's wilful ignorance.

It's not ignorance, its pure evil. Ignorance is when you're unaware of the effect of your words. Evil is when you know but just don't care.

Well that's why it's called "wilful" ignorance. They know but they're choosing to ignore it.

I don't think Paul is racist. He just doesn't like karthik. They always clash.

[Greg!]

Mess. They kind of take the piss with warnings now.

They're so inconsistent as well.

[Epic.]

I'm guessing they did this because of the many mispronounciations of Shilpa's name in the past

[Greg!]

Also screaming at BB saying "it's a middle eastern airline" and just ignoring the fact it's a country as well

This is exactly what I was thinking

[chuff me dizzy]

Karthik dropped the race card to get Paul into bother and to draw attention to himself, lets hope he goes this week, then he wont get the chance to drop it again

[Vanessa]

I'm voting to save Marissa. She can't go Iver that twat Karthik.

So mispronouncing his name as an airline from the middle east is racist?

oh wait, BB thinks both are brown people things?

[Marsh.]

Why are people missing the obvious?

He didn't accidentally mispronounce his name or get it wrong AT ALL. He PURPOSELY called him random "foreign" words to take the piss. He admitted this.

So it's a thin line and only a matter of time before he hit a "Shilpa Poppadom" type slip up.

Well, not really.

If it was an isolated incident, maybe, but it was 1 incident in a very very long list of racial bullying. So, no it wasn't.
