A BBC comedian will no longer work with a food firm he fronted after a racially-charged jibe on Twitter to Home Secretary Priti Patel about her not liking curry. Guz Khan, who appears on BBC3 show Man Like Mobeen, had been the face of delivery company Uber Eats, who had used him in a series of adverts. It came after his social media posting sparked a string of disgusting responses branding her a 'coconut', a racist slur accusing someone of betraying their heritage. Khan posted a photo of Ms Patel pulling a face with the message: 'Shall we have a curry for dinner tonight Priti?' Other Twitter users piled in to criticise the tweet, which is still up despite the backlash.
