RED noses have been banned from the BBC's celebrity show Comic Relief Does Fame Academy because they are a fire hazard.
The foam noses, sold to raise money for the cause, have been deemed a health and safety risk.
The BBC1 show is filmed at London's County Hall on the banks of the River Thames.
A spokesman for programme-makers Endemol said: "We have to comply with health and safety rules because it is a Grade II-listed building."
