Tourette's campaigner John Davidson has said the BBC should have "worked harder to prevent anything that I said" at the Bafta Film Awards being broadcast, and questioned why he was seated near a microphone.
Davidson, whose condition involves involuntary tics, shouted a racist slur while black actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage at Sunday's ceremony.
Davidson told Variety: "I remember there was a microphone just in front of me, and with hindsight I have to question whether this was wise, so close to where I was seated, knowing I would tic."
The BBC reiterated that the offensive language "arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome", adding: "We apologise that this was not edited out prior to broadcast and it has been removed from BBC iPlayer."
On Tuesday, the corporation's chief content officer Kate Phillips told staff that another racial slur had been edited out of the broadcast.
