A REALITY TV show was not granted permission to film at Ascot Racecourse.

The producers of new ITV show Absolutely Ascot had applied for permission to film at the world-famous racecourse, but the request was declined.

A spokesman for the racecourse said: "No permission to film at Ascot Racecourse was granted."

An article in today's Ascot News reported that the cast had been spotted filming during this year's Royal Ascot, but this was incorrect.
