Celebrity Big Brother bosses refuse to pay Christopher Biggins his £150,000 fee after sick Nazi joke and ‘shock AIDS comment’ – The Sun

CELEBRITY Big Brother bosses are refusing to pay Christopher Biggins his £150,000 fee for appearing on the reality show after making an offensive comment about people with AIDS.

The Sun Online exclusively revealed that his remarks are believed to have been the final straw for CBB bosses – after he is reported to have made a highly offensive Nazi joke in front of Jewish housemate Katie Waissel, as well as sharing his upsetting views on bisexuality.

Now telly bosses are refusing to pay out due to his offensive comments, even though they are believed to be contractually obliged to pay him a portion of his fee.

A show source told the Daily Star Sunday: “The contract states there is no obligation to pay housemates if they are ejected for breaking rules.

"Producers made it clear to Biggins before he went in and during his time in the house what was considered appropriate behaviour and what the rules are.”

The panto legend is set to reveal all in an exclusive interview with The Sun On Sunday today.

On Saturday night's episode it was revealed that the panto star got the boot after saying that AIDS is "a bisexual disease".

He told Renee: “Gays have been really badly treated and then suddenly came a period where gay people were respected, you could do things.

“I wouldn’t say overnight but then a killer disease came, which was attributed to homosexuals.

He continued: “They gave it to kill of third world countries, it’s a man made disease.”

And added: “They were lot of bisexuals, who went to those countries to have sex with those people and brought it back to their families.”

Speaking about his behaviour prior to getting the boot, the telly favourite told his housemates: “I’ve made three mistakes in here and now I’ve been chastised. So I’ve become very aware and careful.

“Of course, the thing is as you relax it gets worse because you think you’re at home.”

Biggins was called to the diary room where Big Brother explained to him that his continued use of unacceptable language would not be tolerated.

Big Brother said: "On Monday, in a conversation with Katie where she remarked that she was not in the house to represent the Jewish community, your comment was plainly capable of causing offence to Katie and the viewing public.

"But you've continued to use unacceptable language. In a conversation with Renee. you said: 'I think the worst type though I'm afraid to say is the bisexuals.

"You went on to say what it is is people not wanting to admit they are gay. Today, at 2.25pm, in a conversation with Renee and others, you again used unacceptable language regarding bisexuality.

"Talking about AIDS, you said: 'I think it was a bisexual disease.'

"Biggins, due to your continued use of unacceptable language in the house, which is capable of causing widespread offence, Big Brother is left with no option that to remove you from the house.

"Do you have anything to say?"
He replied: "I'm very sorry and I'm very sad."
