The TV and pantomime star, who is gay, said: "I think the worst type though is, I'm afraid to say, the bisexuals."What it is is people not wanting to admit they are gay.
"Mob Wives star Renee Graziano replied:"That upsets me. You have to pick a team."Biggins had been granted immunity from eviction after successfully completing a task which involved him being the secret boss of the house.
A transcript of the supposed exchange between Biggins and the other contestants in which he makes reference to Nazi concentration camps and other racist comments was posted on social media but was said by Channel 5 to be "fake".
