CBB contestant who made “Jewish producer” comment evicted

articlemain

Former Baywatch actor Jeremy Jackson was booted off Celebrity Big Brother after he pulled open the dressing gown of a female contestant.

Mr Jackson, 34, who is Jewish, was the first contestant to leave the show this year. He was evicted after he was alleged to have groped glamour model Chloe Goodman, 21, on Friday night.

But former Coronation Street star Ken Morley was warned by Channel 5 producers after he advised Ms Goodman that it would be good for her career if she kept Mr Jackson on side, because he was “a Jewish film producer”.

Mr Morley said his remarks were “part of the game”.

He was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house today for "offensive behaviour" after Ofcom received 233 complaints about "racist and sexist language".
