He made his views clear enough in his own VT. I assume therefore he wanted us to know how he felt. He could have taken the opportunity when the topic came up to explain how he felt in a way that wouldn't cause hurt to many but instead he expressed his opinions in an offensive way and made further homophobic remarks for example when speaking to Rylan - "you're a great presenter despite being gay" etc. He alone is responsible for what comes out of his mouth. The producers can bring up issues, but it is up to the celebs how they deal with it. Many in the past have turned things around in their favour when things they would rather not have mentioned have been brought up during tasks.
