Do people use the word "monkey" as a racial slur? Yes. So think before you call a black person it, in public, on a effing prime-time TV show, or people'll throw their rattles out the pram. It's not 1952, thank eff.

No sanction should be taken; apart from pointing at her & laughing, & if you're of any ethnicity other than White, maybe try & find an alternative to... er, what did she do again? I mean, as a profession? Some sort of TV cookery show? What?

Oh, eff it, hang the bitch then. We don't want that sort in this country...

The thing is mate some people dont even consider the skin colour, the fact that she said like a monkey and didnt link it to a racist term isnt something she should be lambasted for. His skin colour didnt even occur to her, should people have to monitor their comments every time they are talking about a mixed or black person just incase that could be misconstrued as a racist taunt.

i watched it, it was a completely innocent comment, i didnt even give it a second though. my mate won £65 off a £5 bet that she would be evicted that night... yeah that was the reason i was watching it, you know for betting purposes.

How depressing.
