CBB Ordered To Made Race Row Apology
From Sky News
Celebrity Big Brother has been ordered to broadcast a series of embarrassing on-air apologies for the Shilpa Shetty race row affair.
TV watchdog Ofcom also said footage of an offensive, racist limerick, thought to have been made up and read out by contestant Jade Goody, did exist.
Shilpa ShettyProducers Endemol had always denied the existence of the footage.
Ofcom said Channel 4 breached the TV watchdog's code of conduct and made a "serious editorial misjudgement" by airing footage of a racist rant by contestant Goody.
A statutory sanction will also be imposed on Channel 4.
Goody, ex S-Club 7 singer Jo O'Meara and former Miss UK Danielle Lloyd were all accused of the racist bullying of the Bollywood actress during this year's show. All denied they were racist.
Goody is thought to have read out a limerick with the words: "This house used to be happy, until that effing ****."
It is not known what the final word was. But it is thought to have been ****.
So it was true then?
