The BBC has confirmed children's show Blue Peter broke guidelines in a vote to name its cat, as it revealed three other breaches of editorial rules.But they promise penance:
The cat was called Socks after staff changed the results of an online poll. Viewers wanted the cat named Cookie.
An apology will be broadcast to Blue Peter viewers when the show's new series begins on Tuesday.So they'll have two cats. Which makes it a win for the cats, I guess.
Socks will be joined on the programme by a new kitten, Cookie, to reflect the results of the original audience vote in January 2006.
