SCOTLAND’S Reform leader Malcolm Offord has been forced to apologise and deny he is homophobic after it emerged he made a joke about George Michael while giving a speech in 2018.

In a Burns Night speech to the London Scottish Rugby Club, which he then chaired, he is understood to have mocked Wham singer’s grieving boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz.

Speaking to the Daily Record newspaper, a man who had witnessed the display described it as “a crude, bad taste and insulting spectacle,” adding: “It was so shocking I’ve not forgotten it.”
