Officials of the British channel that airs "Celebrity Big Brother" will meet to discuss the show in light of complaints of racism on the "reality" program.
The broadcaster has faced criticism for not stepping in to curb nasty confrontations between housemates and is facing calls to cancel the show. Channel 4 last week said the program would not be pulled and that any conflict in the house had been monitored.
The program's sponsor withdrew its support in wake of the controversy.
Board chair Luke Johnson has been asked by Commission for Equality and Human Rights to apologize for how the situation was handled. The government's Office of Communications said it has received more than 40,000 viewer complaints.
Now that one of her main antagonists is gone, British bookmakers installed Shetty as the favorite to win.
