This has really got out of hand. Biggins was simply having a dig at Big Brother, not a personal attack of Katie or any Jews for that matter.
He is a nice bloke. What he said, in jest, could be said by any one of us especially if we were holed up in the BB house with inadequate shower facilities.

okay i hope Biggins can earn my respect for him back, because i genuinely quite like him on the telly

He better rein in that laugh while he is there. If he does that every 2 minutes then he will end up getting booted out.

Homosexuals were also killed at that awful place and Bi sexuals - he is just loosing it, he cant keep up with how modern people see things. Its clearly his idea of PR but its so stupid. Just apologuise and move on.

Let's not have any more older people in the house. Let's fill it up with tit-birds, prostitutes, mouthy-southy Essex boys, failed soap stars and miscellaneous other wastes of space... so long as there's no one older in there. Their opinions aren't like yours and their humour is different too, so let's keep it real and make sure we watch only uneducated chavs and reality stars for three weeks.

There aren't many Jews on this forum and I can't speak for anyone else... but I am more annoyed by the fake outrage than by the joke - and that's what it was, a joke.

Oh man, talk about damage control. The way he's just putting it out there over just going on his own, without having to inform the media about it, reeks of desperation to cover it all up.

If he's really serious about visiting Auschwitz he should invite Katie so she can share with him her family's history with that place. Or maybe have an actual survivor give him a personal tour of it. Going there is one thing, but its so much more impactful and honestly life changing when you go there and you get the opportunity to see, talk to, and hear a survivor's account of being in Auschwitz.

Hopefully he can learn from this experience.
