X Factor final bigot outrage
Warm-up ‘comedian’ lays into ‘pikey’ member of audience

ITV bosses are in hot water after an audience member at Saturday’s live X Factor final was “humiliated” on stage by a comedian who labelled him a “pikey” and “chav.”

Labour MP Stella Creasy was among members of the sellout Wembley Arena crowd who complained about the show’s abusive warm-up act Ian Royce.

She wrote on Twitter yesterday that the “comedian pulled a man out of audience and encouraged the crowd to laugh at him because ‘he was a pikey’.”
