Kirsty’s question about which character had first resonated with her as a child, saying: “Oh, Fagin. Without question. Jewish and vile. I didn’t know Jews like that then sadly, I do now.”

Despite laughter from the audience, the BBC decided to remove the remarks from the broadcast.

    She’s just saying that some people are Jewish and are unpleasant I don’t quite understand how that’s a extreme comment.

    This is just an example of the BBC being sensitive again isn’t it. Whatever you do, don’t call genocide a genocide, for some reason.
