Channel 4 ordered to apologise for BB racism

British TV operator Channel 4 today faced accusations of a cover-up during the Celebrity Big Brother race row today, as British media watchdog Ofcom ordered the broadcaster to apologise publicly for mishandling the affair.

Transcripts released for the first time reveal Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd, Jo O'Meara and Goody's boyfriend Jack Tweed made up a racist limerick about Bollywood star Shetty which made reference to the word 'Paki' - but the explosive scenes were never shown.
