This is not a reply to me. I saw this on DS. A member on there has sent an email to Ch5 saying how disgusting it was and how we were not shown it, and Jay was being protected. This is what Ch5 had to say:

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding Big Brother.

Our intention is always to present events in the Big Brother house in a fair and balanced way. That said, due to editorial and legal matters, as well as time constraints, not everything that occurs in the Big Brother house is broadcast. In this instance, it was decided that it was editorially inappropriate to refer to the incident and that it raised taste and decency issues.

The reference to the incident on Big Brother's Bit On The Side was unfortunate as it was inaccurately reported and there was no opportunity for viewers to see the incident in context.

In any event, as you would expect the housemate involved in the incident was reprimanded by Big Brother, and in line with health and safety requirements all expert advice and necessary steps were taken to ensure the housemates' wellbeing.

Please be assured that we are grateful to you for raising your concerns and have logged your comments in the Viewer Enquiries Report which is circulated throughout the company.

If there is anything further we can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your interest in Channel 5.
Yours sincerely
Terry
VIEWER ADVISOR

Basically it DID happen then.
