Complaints over homophobic comments made by Celebrity Big Brother contestant Winston McKenzie

More than 350 complaints have been received about homophobic remarks made by Celebrity Big Brother contestant Winston McKenzie.

During Tuesday’s launch show, Channel 5 showed the former Ukip spokesman and London mayoral hopeful discussing how he would handle homosexual housemates.

In the pre-recorded footage, he said: “I don’t know how I’d cope with a homosexual in the house. I guess I’d have to be standing against a wall all the time.”
