’Celebrity Big Brother’ bosses have confirmed a supposed transcript of the events leading up to Christopher Biggins’ removal from the house is “100% fake”.
The star was thrown off the Channel 5 reality series on Friday (5 August) after making a series of comments a spokesperson described as being “capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public”.
It was then alleged Biggins’ ejection came after he made a joke about Nazi concentration camps, which made Jewish housemate Katie Waissel cry.
After the claims where published by the Daily Star, an alleged transcript of the incident began circulating on social media and online forums, which fans believed to be true.
However, a Channel 5 spokesperson has now categorically denied the transcript is real.
They said in a statement: “We can confirm that a transcript claiming to relate to Christopher Biggins’ removal from the CBB house is 100% fake.”
Despite this, the show rep refused to deny the claims Biggins had made a joke about concentration camps when approached by HuffPost UK.
“We arent commenting further to yesterday’s statement,” they said.
When Biggins was ejected, bosses issued a statement, which read: “Big Brother has taken the decision to remove Christopher Biggins from the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
“Since entering ‘Big Brother’, he has made a number of comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public.
“Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language capable of causing widespread offence. Christopher Biggins has left the house.”
The events leading up to Biggins’ exit will air on Saturday’s episode of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ at 10.30pm on Channel 5.
