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.

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.
