Comedian David Baddiel and My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding's Paddy Doherty have become the latest stars to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Jimmy Carr's Netflix special.
The Eight Out Of 10 Cats star came under fire this week for a Holocaust joke aired during his latest comedy special which viewers branded "disgusting" and "grotesque". The show, titled 'His Dark Material', was released to Netflix on Christmas Day and has now received widespread attention after a clip was posted and shared online during which he claimed a positive of the Holocaust was the death of thousands of Gypsies.
During the show, Carr made a reference to the number of Gypsies who were killed in the Holocaust and how no one ever talks about it. The punchline then contained a disparaging remark towards Gypsy deaths at the hands of the Nazis.
