Ofcom speak out about BGT complaints
According to The Sun Online, a spokesperson for Ofcom said the majority of complaints were due to the singer’s jewellery.
They said: “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules.
“But are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”
Meanwhile, last week, Ofcom confirmed they will not be investigating Diversity’s powerful performance.
The dance troupe narrated the death of George Floyd, among other recent events.
What did Ofcom say about BGT?
They said in a statement: “Diversity’s performance referred to challenging and potentially controversial subjects.
“In our view, its central message was a call for social cohesion and unity.
We will not be taking this case on to formal investigation.
“Any depictions of violence by the performers were highly stylised and symbolic of recent global events.”
In addition, they said: “There was no explicit reference to any particular political organisation.
“But rather a message that the lives of black people matter.
“We will not be taking this case on to formal investigation.”
Meanwhile, their decision came after ITV backed Diversity over the backlash.
