A Channel 4 boss has defended Big Brother and said he would like to move production of the controversial show to Scotland.
Stuart Cosgrove, the broadcaster's head of nations and regions, said he would be happy to see the show move north, describing it as a global success of the type Scotland lacks.
Speaking after taking part in a debate at the Scottish Parliament on the future of the country's creative industries, he said: "I would seriously welcome the concept of Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother, being made in Scotland or out of Scotland because it has been a significant international, global success and Scotland doesn't have enough of those.
