Channel 4 Dispatches is expected to air a special investigation into some of the biggest A-list celebrities and comedians in the UK.
It comes after viewers spotted that the broadcaster added a 90-minute Dispatches special for Saturday evening, a prime spot.
The preview to the Channel 4 show gives no hints as to what viewers can expect with just the usual “Investigative series covering issues in British society, politics, international current affairs, health, religion and the environment” in place.
However, there are reports the investigation show will highlight the bad behaviour of a number of well-known household names, that could be career-ending.
Channel 4 Dispatches to air special celebrity investigation
As speculation around the show has grown on social media, Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy made viewers talk after tweeting “Something’s Up” with a screenshot of the TV Guide showing the Dispatches special.
However, Guru-Murthy was quick to delete the Tweet just an hour later.
“The Mirror understands the documentary is set to highlight bad behaviour by an A-list household name. The contents of the Dispatches, which will discuss a number of celebrities in the industry, is said to be potentially hugely damaging.” https://t.co/sty28bcs0D

Whilst viewers wait to watch the Channel 4 Dispatches special, one TV insider has given some information on what to expect: “This programme has been years in the making and is being edited up to the last minute. It has the potential to halt the career of at least one celebrity with the contents”, according to The Mirror.
This is not the first time Dispatches have investigated celebrities, with the Channel 4 program just last year airing ‘Jeremy Kyle Show: Death On Daytime’ that highlights the treatment faced by guests and staff.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
