HONG KONG - HONG Kong TV channel iCable Entertainment News has shelved the telecast of the concluding half of its interview with actress Cecilia Cheung.

The first half of the programme aired last Friday, the 28-year-old broke her silence and launched an attack on Chinese-Canadian actor Edison Chen over a sex photo scandal.

Racy photographs of her and other female celebrities, including Gillian Chung, Bobo Chan and Rachel Ngan, taken by Chen were leaked online last year.

The cable TV channel said on Monday that Cheung had been harassed by the media speculating about the details of the second part of the interview, and that its staff had been inconvenienced.

It was pulling the show 'out of respect for, and to protect' her, it added.
