Disabled BBC host gets complaints, praise

(CNN) — The BBC is receiving complaints about a disabled children’s show host who only has one hand, with some alarmed parents saying the host is scaring their children.
A BBC spokeswoman said the corporation has received at least 25 “official” complaints recently about Cerrie Burnell, new host of two shows on the BBC-run CBeebies television network, which is aimed at children younger than six.
The official complaints do not count the dozens of negative comments lodged in Internet chat rooms, the spokeswoman said.
But there have also been messages of support for Burnell.
