Endemol/C4 are almost certainly financially liable for Keeley's injury and should make substantial compensation in the mid six figure range or face litigation.

Endemol/C4 did not take due care and attention to ensure the health and safety of a person contractually in their care, resulting in their serious injury, furthermore, they were arguably willfully negligent in that a reasonable person could have predicted that an accident was possible or likely in that task.

So why should she receive such a large settlement? This injury will prevent Keeley from pursuing lucrative magazine contracts, which would have been otherwise available. These contracts are typically time-limited for a housemate leaving the BB house, so the settlement should reflect the likelihood that such contracts will no longer be available once she is fully recovered, and included in which should be an estimate of the total amount of earnings had she left uninjured.

Additionally, there is the standard compensation for an injury such as this acquired in the legal care and at fault of another party.

The only way Endemol/C4 can avoid this is by offering Keeley just the standard injury compensation and requiring her to accept this, in writing, as full and final settlement as part of an agreement to re-insert her into the BB house. This is what they are trying to do and this would be very unwise of Keeley to accept this. The only terms on which Keeley should re-enter the BB house is a very large settlement in the event of her leaving the house while still recovering from her injury.

I hope she is receiving good advice on this matter from a lawyer employed by her.

Thankyou Max Clifford.

Pathetic

BB execs must be having another crisis meeting now.

If you watch the video I don't think the equipment in any way affected how her ankle got twisted. She was just in a tight spot with other people trying to move around quickly, That could happen on the street, In Tescos or in the BB house. I do not think BB are to blame.

She can still get her baps out with a broken foot

'lucrative magazine contracts'

first i heard that nuts was greatly interested in the turn of a shapely ankle

Or Keeley was completely at fault by being her usually competitive self?

Just a thought.

Next time I find myself working in an office, I'll try jumping off my desk and landing on my face... Maybe I'll receive a mid 6 figure sum in compensation.

In the demo of the task they only had one running at the wall. I still can't see why it wasn't done as an individual time trial. The three together was probably a contributory factor.

Do ex housemates hand over a cut of the money they make AFTER BB?

I really dislike this type of culture TBH!

Crikey, are you a lawyer?

How do you know that Endemol/C4 are offering standard injury compensation to Keeley? Has this been reported somewhere or do you have inside information?

Realistically she will be compensated. Programme makers are insured for this sort of thing, so I'm sure she'll get a cheque.

As for returning, I can't see it. She will be eminently aware now of her unpopularity, so why would she? She is too up herself to handle that.

As in "plaster chic", maybe..but probably not .

Keely can get in line. Endemol needs to compensate the viewers for this crap season.

Maybe her leg below the knee could be out of the picture.

On the contrary - I think Endemol/Channel 4 or whoever should be suing Keeley, because she's been nothing but trouble since she entered the house. First all the flirting and flaunting stuff which has ended up making Steve look a right prat on national TV. Not content with that, she then drove Caoimhe the Daoimhe out of the house and then topped it all off by being completely unable to participate successfully in any of the physical tasks, resulting in the cancellation of this week's eviction. She's single-handedly ruined this year's show, and somebody should be taking action against her for it.

Do you have poof of this fact that Endemol did not take due care, otherwise you could be sued for Defamation.

From the task, they appear to be wearing a special type of footwear as part of their protective gear. The are not in Primark plimsolls.

Another possible contributing factor, Keeley was carried to DR. Then she returned to house while BB decided what to do. The HM's were ones who did the initial treatment on her, not medical professionals. This will not go down well. Plus since all but accident was viewed on LF.
She was exploited on LF with an injury of sorts. Cameras should not have been on her nor on other HM's during this time while they were attending to her which BB should have had a Medical Dr or similar do.

Bottom line is, Keeley should not have went back into the house while BB made their decision & to call ambulance etc.

Lolled at mid 6 figure range

I think it's pretty obvious that Endemol would require HMs to sign a disclaimer before they enter saying that any accident/injury incurred during the show is at the HMs own risk, otherwise they could be sued left, right and centre by people acting stupidly to get attention and getting injured (not saying that's what happened with Keeley though).

I think that is private between Keeley and Endemol/C4, not something that would be told to us.

Are you that woman with the fringe?

Everyone's missing the point. Programme makers are insured for this eventuality and she will be compensated via this route. Liability will not really play a part.

This is the problem with this country now with all this blaim/claim business, what ever happened to accidents?Where did they dissapear too? She landed funny, she could have jumped from the couch and landed funny, this sort of attitude would have every BB task as boring as the candle one, but oh someone may have burnt themselves with wax so best stay clear of everything really.
