Chinese reality television show Youth With You 3 has been suspended on the eve of its finale over a scandal involving its contestant Yu Jingtian, who also announced he is quitting the show.

Yu, 18, who also performed under the name Tony, was engulfed in controversy last week after his parents were accused in an online post last week of running a KTV lounge involved in drugs and prostitution.
