Channel 4 is again being inundated with complaints over racist comments on a reality television show, though this time it�s not Big Brother but Shipwrecked that is the centre of the controversy.

 

According to the BBC more than 430 people have now complained to media watchdog Ofcom over a Shipwrecked contestant�s comments.

 

18 year-old Lucy Buchanan said black people were �really bad�, and called lesbians �sinister�.

 

She also said: �Britain is a complete mess. I just don�t appreciate people coming into our country and taking over our culture. I�m for the British Empire and things. I�m for slavery, but that�s never going to come back.�

 

Lucy�s place at University is now reportedly threatened by the storm over her comments, though her parents have defended her, calling her a �na�ve teenager�.

 

So far Channel 4 has resisted calls for both Big Brother and Shipwrecked to be taken off the air.
