BB's Noirin says show covers up racism, bullying

Former ‘Big Brother’ housemate Noirin Kellly says racism and bullying are covered up on the show.

Noirin said she used the word n****r without reprimand as she is black, while her boyfriend, Issac Stout, was instantly hauled into the Diary Room when he said the same thing as a joke – all of which was edited out of the broadcast show.

In previous series housemates have been kicked out for making similar comments.

The Irish beauty also claimed Brazilian student Rodrigo is the biggest bully in the reality TV house, and the programme is heavily edited to keep viewers seeing his true personality.

Dubliner Noirin,25, told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “People have said n****r – but the public would never know. They only see what Big Brother wants them to see. Channel 4 has become so PC that they are killing the show. ‘Big Brother’ has become too safe.

Noirin - who has so far proved this year’s most controversial contestant after she attracted the amorous attentions of a number of housemates - also said since 24-hour live coverage from the house has been dropped this year, the show has been even more biased.

She added: “With so little live feed now they can edit the footage to make sure they get what they want. So many things have been covered up.

“It’s like a soap opera rather than a reality show. In life there’s racism, there’s sexism and there’s conflict. Seeing how people deal with that is what makes for interesting TV.”

She also blasted Rodrigo – one of the few housemates she didn’t appear to fall out with on the show –saying: “He is favoured in the way the show is edited. That boy is the biggest bitch and biggest bully in there.”

Noirin was voted out of ‘Big Brother’ on July 31, and Issac, who had been in the house less than a week, followed her out an hour later.

A Channel 4 spokesperson defended against Noirin’s allegations, saying: “The nightly highlights shows are a balanced and fair representation of events in the house and the viewers choose the winner by public vote.”
