I’m trying to teach DS about the internet and was trying to remember the names of so called celebrities being on shows like strictly or I’m a celeb but then removed due to the press going through historic tweets/Facebook etc and finding inappropriate content.

Can anyone recall any of these names? Was it someone on I’m a celeb removed for a racist tweet?

There's a cricketer recently dropped form the England team for racist tweets a few years ago IIRC. Can't remember his name though.

Found it - Ollie Robinson.

Billie Eilish recently had to do a grovelling apology for mouthing a song lyric that contained a racist slur when she was 13.

Carol Thatcher was taken off air about racist comments she had said at the time, not later, IIRC. She used to be a regular on the One Show. One night backstage she was talking about the tennis player Jo Wifrid Tsonga, saying he looked like a golliwog. Jo Brand was a guest on the same show and reported what she had said. I think Carol Thatcher was taken off the One Show shortly afterwards.
