The Radio 4 guest who branded a senior Tory 'xenophobic' for comments about asylum-seekers has also accused actress Sydney Sweeney of 'flirting' with the Nazis' theories of eugenics.
Refugee charity boss Dr Krish Kandiah prompted fury after his Today programme criticism of last weekend's The Mail on Sunday front page in which Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said the asylum-seeker influx in small boats made him fear for his daughters' safety.
Now it has emerged that earlier this month Dr Kandiah attacked Ms Sweeney for boasting of her 'great jeans' in a clothing advert – saying she was 'backing' Nazi ideologies of racial superiority.
The BBC was forced to edit Dr Kandiah's Thought for the Day segment, and apologise to Mr Jenrick, after he said the Tory MP's language had fuelled protests outside hotels housing asylum-seekers.
Roger Mahony, Radio 4's Head of Editorial Standards, apologised to Mr Jenrick for some of the language and said two references to xenophobia would be edited from the programme on BBC Sounds.
