Comic Relief to curb celebrity appeals
Comic Relief to cut back on celebrity appeals after Stacey Dooley row
The charity's co-founder, screenwriter Richard Curtis, told MPs TV appeals "will be heading in the direction of not using" celebrities abroad.
He said they would be "very careful to give voices to people" who live there.
MP David Lammy, who had criticised the Dooley film, praised the plan to move away from "tired, harmful stereotypes".
