Big Brother: Kerry reprimanded for use of homophobic slur
Big Brother producers have intervened and reprimanded contestant Kerry for using a homophobic slur during a live broadcast. On Sunday night (15 October), Jenkin and Olivia stole Kerry’s mattress as part of a prank.
However, upon continuing to tease Kerry she erupted into an expletive-laden outburst after she failed to see the funny side.
Kerry responded to the situation and announced “well this is gay”. The rant was not featured on the main show, however it was shown immediately afterwards on Late & Live.
A spokesperson for Big Brother said: “Kerry was brought to the diary room to discuss her inappropriate use of language. “Big Brother reminded Kerry of her respect and inclusion training prior to entering the house and the consequences of any further use of offensive language. “Kerry understood and apologised for any offence caused.” On 7 October, the ultimate social experiment on TV returned to screens with more than 2.5 million viewers tuning in.
