Housemates told to watch CBB5
Quote:
CELEBRITY Big Brother chiefs have ordered this year’s stars to watch the last hate-filled series to teach them how to avoid offending viewers.
And they have held one-on-one meetings with EVERY one of the 11 contestants, warning them not to step out of line.
Bosses are still reeling from 2007’s race row series, which saw 50,000 people complain about Jade Goody’s bullying of Bollywood babe Shilpa Shetty.
Executive producer Sharon Powers said: “We told everyone to look on YouTube and sent them DVDs. We’ve spoken to them all in detail about what the boundaries are.”
But producers stopped short of a swearing ban.
The Shilpa bullying, which also involved model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O’Meara, forced Channel 4 to axe the show this year and earned the channel a rebuke from TV watchdogs.
