The Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics sparked outrage last night after the iconic painting of The Last Supper was reimagined by drag queens.
The reenactment of the famous painting, that shows Jesus’s last meal with his disciples, was the centre of a backlash with Christians expressing their anger at the organisers of the Games.
GB News host Anne Diamond fumed over the parody this morning as she labelled the segment an “attack on Christianity.”
She explained: “The ceremony was an abomination, mocking Jesus. They really don’t know how to read a room. It was disgusting.”

Showbiz journalist Stephanie Takyi agreed, adding: “To be honest, I don’t think they would have done that about Islam because they know that they would have gone to the streets and it would have been a wrap for the Olympics.
“They feel like for Christianity, because we’re quite subdued, let’s make a mockery of it.

“I just think some things are sacred, and maybe that could have just been left out of the show.”
Journalist Fraser Myers said that the reenactment was “about the artwork” and organisers weren’t trying to cause offence.
