Breakfast TV host Paul Henry is unrepentant about calling Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle "retarded" and claims he is the victim of an orchestrated campaign by the IHC.

Speaking yesterday for the first time about the complaints which followed his on-air remarks on Monday, Henry said he could not see what he had done wrong, and that it was fine to use the term retarded about people with intellectual disabilities. "The remarks I made were specifically with regard to Susan Boyle and they were light-hearted," he said.

On Breakfast on Monday when reading a piece from a women's magazine about the runner-up in the show Britain's Got Talent, Henry laughed as he described how Boyle was "starved of oxygen at birth" and suffered an intellectual disability.
