If you're bothered by either BB's treatment of Jade or her representation on BB/E4, you may want to file a complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Commission.

Their faq is at:

The online complaints form is:

I think you are on a loser here.

The Broadcasting Act 1996 says:

111. - (1) A fairness complaint may be made by an individual or by a body of persons, whether incorporated or not, but, subject to subsection (2), shall not be entertained by the BSC unless made by the person affected or by a person authorised by him to make the complaint for him.

(2) {Omitted - not relevant}

(3) Where the person affected is an individual who is for any reason both unable to make a complaint himself and unable to authorise another person to do so for him, a fairness complaint may be made by a member of the family of the person affected, or by some other person or body closely connected with him (whether as his employer, or as a body of which he is a member, or in any other way).

{My reading is, only Jade or her family can make a complaint}

Unless, of course, you consider yourself traumatized by the transmission.

And, in any case, the effect of the complaint isn't actually what the BSC does, since the adjudication would take weeks. Instead, the fact that there were complaints registered would force BB to respond much faster than emails to the staff psych, who is only an employee.

I could be missing something here, but how has the BB treatment of Jade been bad? The representation of her is a different issue, and I don't think they've represented her any worse than she has given them cause to.

The steal finally came as Jade went on to elaborate further on the kebab issue. "A mixed kebab, when I'm being a pig, is £7," she said.

SHAME on them. SHAME!!
