A gay celebrity has been thrown out of the UK's Celebrity Big Brother house for making offensive remarks about bisexual people and Jews. Christopher Biggins Christopher Biggins described bisexuality as the "worst type of sexuality" and blamed bisexual people for the spread of HIV. He said bisexuals don't want to admit they are gay. ‘And then a killer disease came that was attributed to homosexuals. I think it was a bisexual disease, if I’m honest... What the government didn’t realize is that there were bisexuals out there who were having sex with those people... They then brought it back to their families over here and in America. That’s how it became a worldwide disease. Whoever investigated AIDS fucked up big time.’ During an attempt to apologise for his comments he added "But I think they do fuck up a lot of relationships.’ Gay and HIV organisations who have had a close relationship with Biggins in the past have rapidly distanced themselves from the comments. To a Jewish member of the Big Brother cast he joked: ‘You better be careful or they’ll be putting you in a shower and taking you to a room,’ a clear reference to the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps.
