BBUK has tweeted in the last 15 minutes that Lewis has been removed for “unacceptable language that contravenes the rules”!
Am on my phone ATM, so can’t post a link...

I’ll delete my duplicate thread and put the link in here, Eugene 
A *genuine* guy has been genuinely thrown out 
Haven't been watching for the last week and a bit, basically lost interest. But, I'm pleased as punch by this news.

I was struggling on my phone trying to post the info in a reasonably spoiler-ish way, and I think I beat you by about 1 minute!

Language unbecoming and against the rules CS
Ohhh… I assumed someone had dug up a Tweet from 2011

everyone has been using language unbecoming so it must have been racist or some other ist

Yes , I am thinking that Amythist ...or maybe threatening behaviour . I saw a post on fb saying that Lewis had said on Twitter it happened during a conversation with Brooke and Cameron and that he wasn’t sorry for whatever it was ....but I’m not sure how reliable all that is ....although I didn’t think he seemed very contrite in the DR !

Seems it might be correct cos it’s on the BBC news website too ...but still nothing about what it was he said
Reported now that he made a reference to Auschwitz
Saying to Cameron he would set him up with some new 'outfits' but said Auschwitz claiming a slip of the tongue
Well we dunno the context so i'll suspend judgement

In that case he deserved to be thrown out
omg-so glad that moron has gone-just exasperates me how he is so popular-he was vile
but someone said liking/disliking Lewis is like the blue/white dress thing a few years ago -you see what you think you see
Baz posted:Saint posted:Well we dunno the context so i'll suspend judgement
I think he’s previous behaviour ....and his nastiness ...is a pretty good indication.
Well he aint helped himself
Wonder if his comment was a reference to how skinny Cameron is - if it was then that was terrible
Lewis has apparently now given the Sun an exclusive on what actually happened.
He's still sticking by the outfit/Auschwitz "slip of the tongue" claim, but - inevitably - that's not the half of it...
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvand...ler-impression-jews/
Speaking from his home, Lewis said: “I was talking to Cameron about getting him some outfits and I said the word ‘Auschwitz’ instead of outfits by mistake.
“It was a slip of the tongue and and then I tried to mock Hitler and did an impression of him saying ‘Kill the Jews’.
“It was an impression not a statement of my beliefs at all - and has come out completely wrong and I’m devastated.
“I am not anti-Semitic, I am agnostic. I love all people.
“It was a misguided comment that came out wrong.”
After he made the comments, Lewis went immediately to the diary room.
He added: “After I said it, I realised I shouldn’t have because it could be seen as offensive.
“I’m not ashamed as it really was just meant to be an impression of Hitler and it has cost me. I lost out on the best part of my experience.
Seriously: I'm lost for words. 
Apparently Lewis will be on Instagram tonight at 7pm to explain what happened to his "fans".
Hopefully he won't be drunk this time... 
How can an agnostic love all people?
I find it hard and I believe.

I do a lot of thinking and I think he did/does.
He's good no matter what you say or he said.
Baz posted:velvet donkey posted:No Baz. Lewis was alive
Lewis was an alive moron
He wasn't.
Lewis is a paranoid over thinker. He hopes to be an urban philosopher.
He ponders issues that either aren't there or one's he cannot influence/control.
Perhaps well meaning but certainly lost in a fog of his own making.
Hopefully with time he'll mature, think with more clarity … and relax
I've changed the thread's title: as it's now been almost a week since it was created, I really don't think we need the spoiler warning anymore!
