James Blunt's recent tweet has been criticised by LGBT campaigners for perpetuating negative homophobic stereotypes.
Blunt, 40, posted the homophobic comment on an illustration on New Statesman cover that features David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Damian Lewis, Chris Martin and Eddie Redmayne, sipping Champagne in white tie.
Blunt posted, "I won't be picking up the soap when this party moves to the showers. RT @NewStatesman: http://www.Newstatesman.Com/staggers/2015/01/new-statesman-cov er-30-january."
