/pol/ - Politically Correct

>Ali Bromley, a London-based forensic psychologist, wore a T-shirt on the ITV2 show on Tuesday featuring a slice of watermelon that appeared to be in the colours of the Palestinian flag - red, green, white and black.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism wrote on the X social media platform that the T-shirt "depicts the map of Israel as a watermelon - a symbol widely associated with anti-Israel sentiment".
The reality show issued a statement today apologising to viewers "who have been offended" and said episodes of Big Brother and Big Brother Late & Live had been edited to remove the image."We regret that the implications of this particular item of clothing were not fully understood in our bag checks or prior to broadcast of (Tuesday)'s show.

"We apologise to any viewers who have been offended by the broadcast and assure viewers that Big Brother was unaware of the implications of the image.

"The item of clothing has been removed from the house. The housemate has been spoken to and they have expressed that they are unaware of the implications and did not wish to cause any harm or offence.

"Any offensive messaging associated with the image does not reflect the values or beliefs of Big Brother."

>The Campaign Against Antisemitism, which has made various complaints about TV programmes amid the war in the Middle East, also questioned how the programme's production staff allowed the T-shirt to be "worn, let alone broadcast it on national television".
