Roblox with racist and sexual content.The great-grandson of the late entertainer, whose career spanned over 70 years presenting for the likes of The Generation Game and Strictly Come Dancing, was playing the online game when he received the inappropriate content.Carrick, aged 10, was with his father Jeremy Martin when he saw the explicit and sexual language appear on screen as he tried to interact with other users.

Roblox is a game mostly played by users between the ages of nine and 12, allowing youngsters to create their own games and play other people’s.The website has had an onslaught of adult users infiltrate their system, with the majority harbouring bad intentions as they attempt to converse with the young users.

Jeremy spoke out about the shocking behaviour, particularly the racist language aimed at his son, and said that Carrick’s great-grandfather Bruce Forsyth would be particularly horrified as his wife is from Puerto Rico.“There are different games on the Roblox site that you can use and they all have their own missions.

The one he was on was called Draw It, playing at 7am, and we have it in the kitchen so we can keep an eye on it,” he explained.Martin said that his wife “normally watches it with him” as he plays the game, which gives users a word and requires them to draw what they see whilst other players guess what it is.He said: “Someone drew an a*** and it said g***, then twice with the n-word.”According to Jeremy this has happened before as last year he “complained to Roblox”, but to no avail as he only received “rubbish emails back”.He explained that in another game a child used the n-word and the concerned parents heard the profanity through the speakers.Their child enjoys playing Roblox to the extent.
