Lembit Öpik has sparked outrage on social media thanks to the former MP and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star commenting on Olly Alexander's performance at the Eurovision Song Contest

Former Lib Dem MP and I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! alumni Lembit Öpik has been slammed for making distasteful remarks about Eurovision's Olly Alexander .

But 59-year-old Lembit, who was briefly engaged to Romanian Eurovision contestant and Cheeky Girl Gabriella Irimia, accused the singing competition of "sexualisation", and said action should be taken about the show's "vulgarity". "It's after the watershed," another commented. "Tamer than most music videos. And also, your homophobia is showing." A third jibed: "Mask slip moment for the lib dems." While another slammed the hateful tweet, adding: "Just be honest, Mr Öpik - there was a gay man on the telly and you felt icky about it.
