Victoria Coren Mitchell has defended Jimmy Carr after a backlash over a shocking joke he made in his latest Netflix special, where he described the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Roma and Sinti people at the hands of the Nazis as ‘positive’.
The 49-year-old comic sparked outrage in his new show His Dark Materials by making an 'abhorrent' remark about Holocaust.
In the now viral clip from his new show, Jimmy said that people ‘never mention the thousands of Gypsies that were killed by the Nazis’ because ‘no one ever wants to talk about the positives.’
