Shane Richie
The EastEnders star, who plays loveable rogue Alfie Moon on the Walford soap, offended several members of reunited band S Club 7 in a lift.
Waiting for people to enter the lift, Shane reportedly said: "Hurry up! Last person in is a gay!"
The three members of S Club 7 who were in the lift - Tina Barrett, Jo O’Meara and Hannah Spearritt - clearly didn't appreciate the quip.
Jon Lee, one of the seven, came out as gay to the Gay Times in 2010. A representative for S Club 7 told BBC bosses they weren't prepared to take part in the CHildren in Need quiz alongside Shane, resulting in him being culled.
The Sun have reported a 'source' close to Shane has confirmed he made the comment, but denied it was meant to be offensive.
The source said: "The comments were clearly meant as a joke.

The star thanked everyone who donated to the children's charity
"To suggest he intended any offence couldn’t be further from the truth."
Although he was cut from the quiz, the star still did his bit for charity in the EastEnders special.
Taking to Twitter he urged people to donate, telling those who already had he "loved" them.
He said: "If you missed BBC Children in Need last night I'll be presenting the highlights from Albert Sq today @BBCOne 4.30. To all who donated...love ya x [sic]"
The Daily Express online have contacted representatives for both Shane and the BBC for comment.
