Singer Rebecca Ferguson has called for media watchdog Ofcom to conduct an investigation into reality TV shows to “ensure the future safety of contestants”.
The Liverpool-born performer, who was a finalist on ITV’s The X Factor in 2010, has previously campaigned for the introduction of a regulatory body for the music industry, which would work to ensure artist welfare.
“I am open to communication should they now wish to follow up with my private complaint now that I have made my complaint public.” Within the letter, Ferguson said she was making the complaint as she is “very concerned about the future contestants and their welfare”. “We listened carefully to the extent of her concerns about the treatment of contestants during her time on The X Factor in 2010,” a statement said.
“We suggested to Ms Ferguson possible routes to escalate her complaints to ITV and the appropriate authorities.” “Those processes and procedures will differ from programme to programme, to ensure that the welfare of all participants in ITV programmes is appropriately safeguarded.
