Apprentice producers respond to 'Race Row'

Producers of TiBB Does The Apprentice have responded to complaints from show contestants Picto and Ninastar that they were subject to racial abuse during their time on the show.

Picto revealed the extent of the attacks in an exclusive interview with the Daily Fib.

He told how himself and Ninastar were dancing to a Destiny's Child song, only for their fellow candidate Snig to change the channel on the TV, prompting a verbal argument.

In a statement, a spokesman for production company Endematt said: "At present we cannot find footage of the incident.

"However, whilst we do not endorse the use of racist terms or slurs, we also do not advocate violence - so we think Snig's screamer serves as just desserts."

Around 1.2million complaints have been recieved by the show's broadcaster, the TiBB network, so far.

This is the second racism scandal to hit TiBB Apprentice in as many series. After the first series it was revealed that Ruth*Star had racially insulted fellow contestant MrLuvaLuva, calling him "Barry Poppadom" among other things.
