Big Brother is reportedly ‘reviewing’ an incident where housemate Carrie used a ‘derogatory’ gay slur during a tantrum.

MailOnline has contacted Big Brother representatives for comment.

Another added: “I really haven’t heard anyone use that term in about 10 years.” Shockingly awful and outdated. In fact, I’m even surprised that Kerry would say that on TV.’

It comes after Carrie came under fire for making “tone-deaf” remarks about her pay during Sunday’s episode.

The NHS manager shocked viewers during a chat with model Zac, 28, food writer Henry, 25, and barman Jenkin, 25, as they discussed the average pay of MPs compared to the UK population.

Sharing her thoughts on politics, Carey – who revealed she has voted Conservative all her life – said MPs “don’t get paid that much”, while Henry added that they get roughly £60,000 to £70,000 a year.

In fact, the basic annual salary for an MP is £86,584, the UK Parliament reports, with MPs also receiving expenses to cover the costs of running an office, employing staff, having somewhere to live in London or their constituency and traveling between Parliament and their constituency. unit.

Zak then said that “the average person earns £20,000 a year” (although the Office for National Statistics says the median annual salary for full-time workers in 2022 was £33,000), prompting Jenkin to share his pay woes.

Jenkin, who now works as a barman, cleaner and bingo in Wales, revealed: “I went between jobs and applied for benefits and was getting £250 a month.”

Open-mouthed, Kerry replied: “It really shocked me. I think I should stop whining about being in a higher tax bracket because it annoys me, but then I hear that…’

Zak chimed in: “A lot of people would like to be in a higher tax bracket and have a bit more money. Do you know how hard it is to get to that higher grade?’

Which prompted Kerry to reply: “I’m really proud of myself because it’s really tough in the NHS but I started in Band Two 21 years ago and I was on £7,800 a year…”

Kerry continued: ‘But I regret paying massively into the higher tax bracket – I don’t think it’s fair.’
