Big Brother rapped over race row - Big Brother

The TV Truth · 24-05-2007, 09:48

Media regulator Ofcom has ruled that Celebrity Big Brother breached its code of conduct over the race row which dogged the series in January.
The watchdog found that Channel 4 made "serious editorial misjudgements" in its handling of the incidents involving Indian actress Shilpa Shetty.

Channel 4 has been ordered to broadcast a summary of Ofcom's findings at the start of series eight next week.

This year's celebrity version attracted a record number of viewer complaints.

Unseen footage of racist behaviour inside the Big Brother house did exist, Ofcom said.

The row centred on the alleged bullying of Bollywood actress Shetty by fellow contestants Jade Goody, model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O'Meara.

Housemate Jade Goody was seen calling the Bollywood star "Shilpa Poppadom" while former model Danielle Lloyd declared she should go home.

Shetty eventually won the contest and insisted ringleader Jade Goody "didn't mean to be racist".
