Schmelebrity Big Brother sponsor Carphone Warehouse has suspended its support of the series, based on the alleged racism towards Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty by other housemates, uncluding BB3's Jade Goody.
The company said its sponsorship would be removed from the current series "with immediate effect".
However, a spokesperson for Goody said "I would urge anyone who says that Jade is a racist to produce the evidence to support the claim," continuing, "I have not heard Jade say anything that could be interpreted as a racist remark."
I believe OFCOM held a meeting today starting at around 12.30. Complaints have now allegedly topped THIRTY THOUSAND. I'll await their outcome with interest.
