Overview
The 50-year-old star was in the commentary box during England's recent Six Nations match against Scotland and was heard on BBC Radio One talking about the match.
Grant said he played rugby at school and added, 'I discovered it hurt less if you tackled hard than if you tackled like a queen.'
However, his comments didn't go down well with some listeners.
One follower called Edward A.E. Wrote, 'Nice bit of old-school homophobia from him that - wasn't it?'
A spokesman for the BBC said, 'We apologise for any offence his comments may have caused.'
