Christopher Biggins claims Celebrity Big Brother housemate Katie Waissel should be ’embarrassed’ after she slammed his Nazi joke
The Celebrity Big Brother housemate was booted from the house after making the hurtful comment and remarks on bisexuality
CHRISTOPHER Biggins has hit back at Celebrity Big Brother housemate Katie Waissel after she branded him a "nasty, nasty person" for aiming a Nazi 'joke' towards her in the compound.
The 67-year-old entertainer made his first public appearance since his shock removal from Celebrity Big Brother at the Bridget Jones's Baby premiere in London Leicester Square.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun after her eviction, Katie said: "It’s very real to me. So there you go, Christopher Biggins, you nasty, nasty person. It’s disrespectful to me, my ancestors and every family who have history tied to this dreadful place."
But Biggins hit back at her comments at the premiere after party and told : "I think she'll be embarrassed she did that. She came out and said she didn't know anything about it.
"Life is too short, things get blown out of proportion. I would sit down with Katie on a sofa and chat to her on TV in about six months."
In the week he was in the Elstree compound, Biggins made comments that many deemed offensive - including remarks that he thought “AIDS was a bisexual disease”, that “bisexual people won’t admit that they’re gay” and a joke about Nazi concentration camps to Jewish housemate Katie.

He told the stunned star: “You better be careful or they’ll be putting you in a shower and taking you to a room.”
Despite the comment, Katie admitted on her eviction from the house that she wasn't aware that the comment was the reason that Biggins was removed.
She later slammed the comments and backed up her mum's comments saying it was a "hate crime".
In an unexpected turn of events during his time on Celebrity Big Brother, Biggins went from being the fan favourite to win to being removed from the house in the first week.
But Biggins now thinks that the removal was due to a fixing scandal for reality stars Marnie Simpson and Stephen Bear to take the crown.
He added: "Everyone has said it. They wanted Bear or Marnie to win. And look what happened.
"I've had nothing but positive comments on Twitter since I left the house. I feel bosses wanted me out from the beginning."
Speaking exclusively to The Sun’s Dan Wootton, Biggins said: “I think Channel 5 were trying to protect me by not screening it.”
One fan blasted on Twitter: “So BB tried to cover up and didn’t show Biggins saying anything about Jews”, while another wrote: “Fix! Sorry not watching any more.”
