The Board of Deputies of British Jews complained to the BBC about his posts which resurfaced after he was unveiled as a candidate this year.

So after being fired by Lord Sugar on the main programme on BBC1, Dr Asif was removed from the follow-up show, on BBC2.

The president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews Marie van der Zyl said: “We hope that the BBC will apologise publicly to the Jewish community for their handling of this sorry situation and send the people responsible for anti-Semitism awareness training.”

But Muna’s anti-Semitic slurs continued after the decision to remove him from You’re Fired was announced.

He wrote on X: “Free speech…unless you criticise a certain neo-colonial white supremacist death cult.”

Dr Asif also said complaints from Jewish people had spoiled the usually secret outcome of last night’s show.

He wrote: “Thanks to the lobby, for the first time in the show’s history we know the outcome of the episode.

“The lobby is so strong that they can even breach broadcasting rules of not revealing the departing candidate.”

Dr Asif was one of 18 candidates who were competing on the TV show for a £250,000 investment in their ventures and become business partners with Lord Sugar, who is Jewish.

The Apprentice, now in its 18th season, airs every Thursday at 9pm.
