Reality TV shows featuring child stars will be made to apply for licences under the biggest overhaul of performance rules for 40 years.
The shake-up was ordered after ministers complained about "archaic complex and irrelevant" regulations.
Producers will now need a licence to put a child in "an artificial situation" contrived for "artistic, editorial or dramatic effect".
Hopefully it will put an end to the obscene sight of little girls and boys being emotionally traumatised for life for the tea-time viewing pleasure of (largely) women.
