what

[Marsh.]

Gary was homophobic because a STRAIGHT guy decided to take offence on behalf of gay people? Even though he himself joked about bending over and liking a finger up his arse?

But when Gary says it it's homophobic.

Ok.

[SocietyIsRuined]

Nothing to do with homophobia. Shows how you can't have fun in Britain anymore before someone shouts you down and plays a card.

[bitontheslide]

The "i've never hit a 70 year old before" comment, implies that he is not unfamiliar with hitting people of other ages

[Marsh.]

And the line "we don't joke about that in this country" what?

The country that produces comedy overloaded with sexual innuendos (the Carry On films etc). Coming from the guy who started the joke about being bummed.

James is probably more sensitive to stuff then other people

James took it as a massive insult to being called "gay"...now why would James be so offended?

Well he's married to a woman so I presumed he was straight. If he's not as comfortable in his sexuality as he said then it explains the overreaction.

My thinking too.

Sensitive to gay jokes... when he's straight.

I'm very sensitive about ginger jokes.... with my brown hair.

[CaudleHalbard]

James is in an industry where you are presumed gay until proved otherwise. Perhaps this increases his sensitivity on the subject?

All he had to say was no im not, instead of going into some kind of rant about it. yes after that I think Gary said the but finger joke or whatever he said, and it was kind incomfortable but then james just made it worse and looked like a bloody idiot tbh. What made me lol was ricci in the background oblivious to it all checking himself out in the mirror.

Trust you to spot that Mizzy

So why make a joke and act camp for laughs if he's so sensitive about it?

Any adult answers a question with a simple answer. How was Gary to know if he was gay or straight, he doesn't know him.

I agree. It all seems mighty odd.

And except overreact and proceed to bitch and whine about it all day before actually talking it out with Gary, but OK

all over social media even some on this very forum.
and why the assumptions that they didn't talk it over straight away?

I just think James is up his own backside. He is so self obsessed that he's the winner and nobody ever has to question his opinion.

That is a poor choice of phrase for this discussion.

Re watching it they are both in the wrong and they both should be careful what they say or do

Good point indeed that CaudleHalbard.

I was on that thought too, I also thought James ended up a bit more confused by it all than when it started,after his 'chat' with Gary.

It is too early to assume you can say anything to anyone,not knowing how they may,never mind will take it,so Gary may have been better to have not said anything here.

I found it all fairly humerous to watch but thought it could have turned ugly,thankfully it didn't.

[rionablue]

They were both wrong but James even more so as he spoke DOWN to Gary barking at him to look at him when he was addressing him and also continuing the argument when it was over. James should have simply said he is happily married, straight and doesn't like any insinuations that he is otherwise. Gary perhaps took it too far but lets not forget James started it. James was an upstart in Strictly and he is going to be one on Celeb BB also but with his wage for Strictly gone down the swanee now he had to take up the offer of appearing on CBB.

From all the years I have watched Strictly I have never liked James and tonight proved the reason why I dislike him. He thinks he above everyone and will continue to do so I am betting till his is turfed out on his toned little arse
