TV watchdog rejects Charlotte Crosby’s complaint against ‘cruel’ cosmetic surgery show
REALITY TV’s Charlotte Crosby’s complaint against a “cruel” cosmetic surgery show has been rejected by TV watchdogs.
The Geordie Shore star said Channel 5’s Celebrities: What’s Happened To Your Face? was “unjust and unfair” to her.
The complaint highlighted comments by online trolls that were “devastating” and “hurtful” to Ms Crosby, 32.
Medical professionals, journalists and people who knew her had discussed how her face had changed over time.
Ofcom said Ms Crosby had “spoken openly to the media in the past about her cosmetic procedures”.
It added that “it would have been clear to viewers” that the medical professionals were “providing their own professional judgments”.

The regulator ruled that the programme did not “present, disregard or omit material facts” in a way that was unjust or unfair to Ms Crosby.
Ofcom said it recognised the show caused “upset and distress” to the reality star.
But it concluded that “viewers were given sufficient information to make up their own minds.”
