Lionel Blair: Give Us A Clue!

But many fans were furious when, in recent years, Lionel became the subject of vile jibes on the Radio 4 spoof panel game I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue.
The host Humphrey Lyttelton [Humph died five years ago] would regularly make crude gags, implying that Lionel is gay.
Lionel says: “It was merciless and just plain mean. I didn’t mind for myself but my wife and family really hated it and became very upset.
“I don’t understand why they had to be gay gags either. Yes, I’m very over-the-top and flamboyant but I always have been. I’m theatrical, darling!
“But I’ve been happily married for 46 years, I’ve got three wonderful kids and three grandchildren I adore.
“I could have sued, I suppose, but that would have been breaking the comedians’ code – and you simply don’t do that."

He probably isn't, you know.
Can't a straight man be "theatrical" (darling)?
We don't own it.
