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.
Wait a sec, I always thought she was Jewish herself?

To be honest I’m not surprised as she is famous for her verbal diarrhoea. People seem to love it when she’s calling Boris a cunt on the radio. Not so much now though.
She is, but being pro-Corbyn and against the war in Gaza, and outspoken, she’s always going to cause broadcasters problems.
I think this incident says more about others (i.e. the BBC being unable to countenance such a thought) than her.
