Channel 4 & Endemol introduce Stricter Rules for Big Brother


Channel 4 and producer Endemol will in future intervene to prevent any bad behaviour by 'Big Brother' housemates from getting out of hand and breaching broadcasting rules.
The new policy is being introduced despite the fact the broadcaster's internal review panel found no evidence that tensions in the last series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' were 'deliberately engineered'.

The broadcaster has revealed the findings of its review of the 'Celebrity Big Brother' racism scandal alongside details of the changes it has put in place as a result of media regulator Ofcom's rulings on the programme.

Ofcom ruled that Channel 4 had breached its code of conduct on three occasions during 'Celebrity Big Brother' and has ordered the broadcaster to issue an on-air apology during the forthcoming series of 'Big Brother'.
