Channel 5 forced to pull show from tonight’s TV schedule at the last minute after star’s ‘vile Nazi rants’ uncovered
CHANNEL 5 has pulled a film just hours before it was set to air tonight after allegations a “hardline Nazi” starred in it.
It’s claimed a woman named Nikki Shaw, who allegedly called for “Sam Smith to be gassed”, was set to appear in a doc about London‘s 1928 floods.

It’s claimed Shaw was set to appear in The Year The Thames Flooded, which was scheduled to hit screens at 9pm.
But it was canned by the major broadcaster at the last minute – with a re-run taking its place.
This came after claims started swirling online about the doc, which was set to dive into “one of the most devastating but little-known disasters in London’s history“.
Anti-racism campaign group Hope Not Hate claimed Shaw had been set to appear.
It said the woman was a “hardline Nazi”, who hid behind the pseudonym Bunty McBint on social media.
Hope Not Hate claimed it was there where Shaw posted photos and made radical racist comments.
It alleged she also disliked Sam Smith and once wrote: “How come no-one has thought about euthanasing these nonce c**ts through a gas out on their tour bus while they are asleep?”
The campaign group also claimed Shaw wrote: “I’m a racial nationalist coz that’s what I believe so I won’t defend race mixing no matter who done it.”
It then shared a photo of a woman doing a Nazi salute, and another of a woman holding a red lolly pop with a swastika on it.
Channel 5 has now launched a probe into the claims while canning the film.
A spokesperson told The Sun: “We will not be airing the film this evening whilst producers look into this further.”
The Year The Thames Flooded was described as: “Exploring one of the most devastating but little-known disasters in London’s history.”
On the broadcaster’s TV guide it was still scheduled to play until changes were made just before 8.30pm.
Any signs of a trailer or advertising had vanished in the hours prior.
The guide then showed Beast from the East: The Big Freeze of 2018, was set to play in the doc’s place.
