An IQ of 60 or lower would put you in the bottom 0.25% of the population. One person in very 400, or 150,000 people in the UK.

That said, it does look like an off-the-cuff remark which would be probably wouldn't be offensive in the right company. Unfortunately for Mr. Bainbridge, National Television isn't that.
