Big Brother star Hughie Maughan has demanded Jimmy Carr immediately apologise for his “diabolical, absurd and disgusting” gag about Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and the Holocaust.
But Carr has said he is “going down swinging”, admitting at a gig over the weekend that he is going to get cancelled.
The UK comedian is under fire after he joked about the horror of “6 million Jewish lives being lost” before suggesting the deaths of “the thousands of Gypsies” at the hands of the Nazis had been one of “the positives” of the Holocaust during Netflix special, His Dark Material.
