Contestant thrown off ?Big Brother? for racism
A contestant on the latest series of Big Brother was thrown off the show yesterday for racially abusing another housemate, just days after bosses were forced to apologise for a racist row on the show?s celebrity version involving bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.
Student Emily Parr, 19, was removed from the house in the early hours after she was heard to say: ?Are you pushing it out, you nigger?? to black contestant Charley Uchea, 21, Channel 4 said in a statement.
Parr said she did not mean the comment to be offensive and Uchea said she had not taken it personally but was shocked at the language used.
Channel 4 said the exchange was not screened live and was immediately reported to senior production staff who took the decision to remove Parr from the camera-filled house on the grounds that she had broken the rules governing behaviour.
Parr had been up for eviction from the house after being chosen to be one of two housemates who would have to face a public vote.
The incident comes after this year?s Celebrity Big Brother was overshadowed when eventual winner, Indian actress Shilpa Shetty, was racially abused by other housemates.
