Channel 5 show caused ex-Geordie Shore star 'upset and distress' but watchdog rejects complaint

Media watchdog Ofcom has not upheld a complaint that Channel 5 show Celebrities: What’s Happened To Your Face? was “unjust and unfair” to former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby. The documentary series, which aired in April last year, explored whether four well-known celebrities may have had cosmetic alterations.

It featured medical professionals, journalists and people who knew Crosby, reviewing photographs and discussing how they considered her face had changed over time. A complaint was lodged to Ofcom on behalf of 32-year-old Crosby.

It claimed the programme had treated her unjustly and unfairly as it included a number of statements which were the “worst, cruellest comments that trolls have made online over the years”. It said these had been “devastating” and “hurtful” to Crosby.
