Filming halted after cheating row erupts
Channel 4 was forced to suspend filming on children’s quiz show Child Genius after a row broke out over cheating parents.
The confusion kicked off after mother Susan claimed that other parents had been mouthing answers to young contestants on Wednesday night’s episode.
A spokeswoman for the broadcaster said filming was paused for a few minutes while independent adjudicator Olivia van der Werff reviewed footage, but ruled that there had been no cheating.
Channel 4 said in a statement: “The independent adjudicator is satisfied there was no cheating taking place.”
However, she did give all contestants and their parents a talking to.
