Channel 4 has suspended filming on kids' quiz show Child Genius after a row broke out over cheating parents.
The situation escalated after mother Susan claimed that other parents had been mouthing answers to young contestants on Wednesday night's episode.
A spokeswoman for the British broadcaster said filming was paused for a few minutes while independent adjudicator Olivia van der Werff reviewed footage, but ruled that there had been no cheating.
Channel 4 said in a statement: "The independent adjudicator is satisfied there was no cheating taking place."
However, she did give all contestants and their parents a talking to, reminding them to take the rules seriously.
This occured a day after Susan herself was spotted apparently using hand gestures to signal an answer to her daughter, 12-year-old contestant Olivia.
The young hopeful was asked by presenter Richard Osman to complete the name of London bus stop "Kensal . . ." before cameras panned to Susan, who lifted her hand, while her father held up a "Good luck Olivia" banner.
Olivia then gave the correct answer: "Rise".
