On Hell's Kitchen last night:

The pair first clashed when Davidson asked Dowling: "Why do shirt lifters pull that same face?"

Offended by his comments, the reality TV star replied: "Please don't say shirt lifters, it's really rude."

The former Generation Game host replied: "I don't care. Gay men have the same look - some gay men have the same look."

When asked whether Dowling had the "look", he answered: "No only when you put it on...It's a sort of preen."

Later, Davidson discovered that his fellow chef had been crying in the garden and asked him what had prompted his tears.

Dowling explained: "Because of you. You can't pretend that when you say something there won't be a reaction."

Davidson claimed he didn't like the way the conversation was being personally directed towards him, prompting Dowling to ask: "When you called me a shirt lifter tonight was that
personal?"

Davidson commented: "Fair enough. Go on. You play the whole homophobic card you are a f*****g disgrace. Why do you have to play the homophobic card? Brian for heaven's sake."

Davidson then added: "Sure - that's what GAY stands for - Good As You. I know that."

Upset by his comments, Dowling responded: "Jim don't say that ... Jim I am Brian - not Good As You. I am an equal to you - you are being really, really horrible to me now. Why are you saying GAY why are you saying GAY is Good As You.. Why can't I be Brian and you be Jim.

"I won't walk away - I won't be as Good As You. I will be BAY - Better Than You. I find you so deeply upsetting ... I don't play the homophobic card...you say the most insulting things to me.

"When you say the word shirt lifter you should realise its offensive - to anyone. I am not GAY 'Good As You' . I actually thought for some reason we were all equal in here."

Dowling ended the row, saying: "I find you the most offensive person I have ever met in my whole entire life. You have ruined my whole time in here with your narrow mind and comments."

"I am literally speechless. Empty, disgusted and the most vulnerable I have felt in my whole life I swear to God."

jim davidson is such a cunt. i said this earlier to badbadllama but why the fuck isn't he dead yet? he's really asking for assassination.

oddly enough i was talking with friends last night about john virgo, now he was a LEGEND. you could tell he wanted to clobber jim with that cue. 'snookering you tonight' indeed.

surely this is gonna be youtubed?
Shirtlifter? haven't heard that one before..
Arent the chefs supposed to be super cunty on hell's kitchen anyway??? (I don't watch) Surely barriers of this sort have been crossed before after some of things Ive been hearing about that show.

Yeah he is a dick. He's just bitter as this is whats left of his career. Marco's comments to him all the time were just

I'd never heard the expression 'shirt lifter' until I read this thread. & bronzemedal is right about Jim Davidson, what a twat.

pfft we dont need to wait for assination, the guy is a cronic alcoholic. One of my housemates used to work in a theater where he would occasionally come to perform his stand up shows and would have to deliver all his drink orders to his dressing room, that guy can really drink.
As for this whole "shirt lifter" thing I'm not suprised he came out with this rubbish, have you seen any of his so called comedy? its very un pc and very unfunny.

I didn't realise 'shirt lifter' was even such an offensive phrase. Having said that, I haven't heard anyone use it since primary school, probably for a reason.

Wouldn't that be BTY? At least mock him for his stupidity and general annoyingness, not the fact he's gay.

I can't imagine this causing much of a storm in the UK right now where Gay = slang for bad anyway. I get annoyed because race is such a sensitive issue, but homophobia is still seen as acceptable, or 'humourous'.

That said, I can see where Davidson is coming from in that the main representations of gay men on TV are of camp exciteable slightly bawdy entertainers - but that isn't Downling's doing.

I hope Jim Davidson fucking dies. Misogynistic, homophobic old racist cunt.

Death is a bit harsh, but if that is your sentence do it Edward II style with a hot poker (for ironies sake).

Fucked to death by Sinitta.

that's just the way Jim Davidson is I guess - he's a phobe of just about everything what a tit - he didn't even seem to give a shit that Brian was clearly quite upset.

Davidson's probably only angry because they're getting all his jobs and making his brand of humour obsolete.

I don't watch the programme but I'd heard he'd made some sort of comment. He is known to be like that though, so ITV or whoever make the programme were just cashing in on that really. Brians response sounds quite funny though, God love him.

Miss Scarlet I love your avatar.

davidson is such a cunt.

This is the guy who threw out wheelchair-bound audience members from a gig because 'I didn't come all this way so people could sit down while I was up there.'

TEH BELLY LAFFS.

He is the biggest, flappiest, slimiest cunt ever to consider himself a comedian.
