Channel 4 postpones sex shows after Shetty controversy

MUMBAI: Following the criticism of racism on its show Celebrity Big Brother which saw Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty win, UK broadcaster Channel 4 has decided to postpone a series of shows on sex.

The series of programmes were to be themed around masturbation. One show media reports state was a documentary about a charity 'masturbate-athon'. Another programme called Virgin School, was to feature a 40-year-old former vicar being taught sex techniques in Amsterdam

A spokesperson for the channel though was quoted saying that they will evenutually air. Clearly the channel does not want to air content that has the potential to lead to more negative publicity.

Meanwhile the row over Celebrity Big Brother continues to make headlines.

Reports state that one of Shetty's three alleged tormentors, glamour model Danielle Lloyd, has met police for a three-hour discussion about the race row.
