Ziggy Racism Row (Article)
Quote:
BOSSES at Channel 4 covered up shocking footage of Big Brother favourite Ziggy calling a housemate a "n*****".
We can reveal the sensational scene and its aftermath were completely HIDDEN from viewers of the racism-plagued TV show.
At 10pm on Thursday night Ziggy Lichman—who came fourth in the final— took a drink from a housemate, saying: "Thanks, my trigger n*****." Although the comment was not directed at BB8 winner Brian Belo, who is black, he was nearby at the time.
Ziggy feared he would be booted off Big Brother immediately, just like Emily Parr who was kicked out earlier in the series for using the same word.
As well as apologising to Brian, Ziggy spent most of the night talking through the incident in the Diary Room.
However, to avoid another racism row, TV chiefs decided to edit the whole thing from the show.
Last night Ziggy said: "I apologised to Big Brother. It was lyrics from a song and never my intention to cause offence to anybody."
A Channel 4 spokeswoman admitted to ALL of our revelations.
