REALITY TV COUPLE UNDER INVESTIGATION

A U.S. reality TV couple are under investigation following accusations they're breaking state child labour laws in Pennsylvania.

Jon and Kate Gosselin, the stars of hit show Jon & Kate Plus 8, have been reported to the state's labour department for allegedly exploiting their eight young children on the programme.

A spokesman for the authorities has confirmed the couple is under investigation, but added, "Because the case is ongoing I can't discuss the content of the investigation."

Meanwhile, a statement from the U.S. TV network behind the show reads, "TLC fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Jon and Kate Plus 8 is no exception. For an extended period of time, we have been engaged in co-operative discussions and supplied all requested information to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor."

The show follows the daily lives of the Gosselins, who are currently considering a separation following a string of marital issues.

The premiere of the new series debuted on TLC earlier this week (beg25May09) and produced the biggest ratings ever for a show on the network.
