Gogglebox star Baasit Siddique apologises over brother's 'misjudged' Facebook post reported to police
Police examined photograph 'and are satisfied that the caption was not intended to be taken seriously'

Gogglebox star Baasit Siddique has apologised over a Facebook post shared by his brother which was reported to police for including a joke about Isis.
The post showed Raza Siddiqui, Baasit and Umar Siddiqui, from Derby, in camouflaged outfits ahead of a paintballing session, with the caption reportedly reading: “Isis training day, look how happy we look!”
The photo was reported to Derbyshire police, who said officers examined the image “and are satisfied that the caption was not intended to be taken seriously".
The spokesperson added: “No offences have been committed and there will be no further police action.”
Baasit, an IT teacher, apologised over the post on Twitter and said it was simply a misjudged joke.
A spokesperson for Gogglebox told the Independent: “The Siddiquis are aware that this post was misjudged and have apologised for their mistake. It will not affect their position on Gogglebox.”
