CBB’s Katie Waissel slams Christopher Biggins for anti-semitic comment and reveals she will NEVER forgive him

Former X Factor star hits back after fellow housemate claims his concentration camp joke was ‘blown out of proportion’ that she ‘embarrassed’ herself

KATIE Waissel has said she will “never sit down” and talk to Christopher Biggins again after he said the anti-semitic 'joke' he made towards her was “blown out of proportion.”

The Celebrity Big Brother beauty was outraged to discover that Biggins – who got the boot from the house after making a sick concentration 'joke' towards her - had said she’d “embarrassed” herself by her subsequent reactions and that he would “sit on a sofa and chat to her on TV in about six months.”

Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Katie who is Jewish said: "Biggins claimed I had a lot of issues but now he is slamming me for doing the same. Why is it one rule for Biggins and one for another?

“I think he should be more embarrassed than me. I would never sit down on a TV sofa and talk to that man.

“I don't have time for people that make remarks about young women for their own personal gain and I certainly don't want to sit down with someone who excuses making anti-sematic jokes by saying they are friends with Lesley Joseph!”

In response to Biggins’ claims that the show was fixed for young people to win, Katie retorted: “I have no time for Christopher Biggins and I think he has done enough damage and really should keep his opinions to himself. As for saying CBB is fixed he's just bitter!"

Katie admitted in her exit interview that she didn’t know his offensive joke was the reason Biggins was turfed out the house, and now her fury comes after he told The Mirror that she should be “embarrassed” about calling him “disrespectful.”

 She also added that she show was not fixed for Bear to win

He said: “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.

He added: "Everyone has said it. They wanted Bear or Marnie to win. And look what happened.”
