The BBC has denied claims it spent £150,000 (THB7,245,243) on a show in Thailand after an episode was reportedly scrapped.
Yesterday it was reported that the crew for the BBC Three show Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents spent 10 days “partying” in Phuket at the licence fee payer’s expense.
It claimed a gap was left in the filming schedule after one of the participants of the undercover show pulled out at the last minute.
The BBC said there was “no truth” to the newspaper’s claims.
The BBC Three programme – which has been broadcast since 2011 – follows groups of young people on their first holiday abroad alone, unaware their parents have secretly travelled to the same destination to spy on them.
Commissioned by the BBC, the programme is made by independent production company RDF which also uses its own crew, the BBC reported.
