Update to this story.

Via Guardian:

Channel 5 could face an Ofcom investigation after the regulator confirmed viewers had complained about Celebrity Big Brother contestant Evander Holyfield saying being gay “ain’t normal” and can be “fixed”.

The broadcasting watchdog confirmed on Monday that it was assessing several complaints, but would not confirm how many. “No decision to formally investigate has yet been made at this stage,” an Ofcom spokesman said.

Big Brother producers verbally warned the former world heavyweight boxing champion about a conversation he had with fellow contestant Luisa Zissman about the lack of openly gay sports stars, which was broadcast in Sunday night’s highlights programme on Channel 5 from 9pm.
