Lewis’ conversation with his co-star Cameron where he made the comment will never be aired on Big Brother.
A source close to the bartender insisted to The Sun Online it was a “slip of the tongue”.
They explained: “Lewis has told everyone he was talking to Cameron and said: ‘When we get out of here, we’ll sort you out with some Auschwitz’.
