He knows he crossed the line, but didn't mean to offend.

I agree it should be shown. If Lewis has no problem woth it, I see no reason for C5 not showing it. They have covered their backs by removing him and not allowing him to win the £100k. Realistically, they are doing him a disservice by not showing it....if it was as innocent as is being claimed, it could have a detrimental effect on his future career prospects etc by not showing it. It was a very silly thing to do and say BUT to be fair to him he had no idea of the atrocity that happened over the weekend so in some ways I think he's a victim of bad timing....but still was a silly thing to do. He should know that anything like that could and would be seen as offensive.

All that said, this could work in his favour, I think this will keep his profile mire relevant than if he had actually won
