Big Brother Receives Over 1,000 Ofcom Complaints Regarding Contestants’ Behaviour
Several Big Brother contestants have faced criticism.
Big Brother has received a barrage of complaints to Ofcom, expressing worries about bullying behaviour directed towards certain contestants.
Since Halloween, over 1,000 reports have been lodged with Ofcom, concerning the treatment of specific individuals towards their fellow housemates.
According to The Sun, on Halloween alone, 768 complaints were filed regarding the show, with a majority of them focusing on Dylan’s conduct towards Trish.
Dylan has been removed from the Big Brother house, and since then, Paul has faced criticism for his conduct towards Trish.
Those watching the show witnessed her confronting Paul, accusing him of bullying, which resulted in the live feed of Big Brother being temporarily suspended due to the heated exchange.
Following the November 1 broadcast, there were 97 complaints lodged, with 45 of them concerning alleged bullying behaviour by Paul towards Noky.
The conduct of Olivia, Tom, Jenkin, and Chanelle towards Trish and Noky garnered attention from 50 separate submissions.
Paul, along with Olivia and Tom, engaged in disruptive behaviour within the Big Brother house, intentionally disrupting their fellow housemates’ sleep in an attempt to provoke tension.
On November 3, this trio generated 62 grievances, with the remaining 161 complaints directed specifically towards Paul’s conduct on that day.
Footage from the house captured Noky in tears, as she felt the security officer had singled her out for scrutiny.
She expressed, “He’s been quite open about doubting my sincerity without any real basis. It seems he’s already made up his mind about me, and regardless of what I do, he’ll interpret my actions to fit his preconceived notions.”
“While I understand that his opinions don’t define me, I find it difficult to endure these constant accusations. All I want is to enjoy my time here and have a positive experience, but I fear he won’t allow me to do so.”
Subsequently, Paul was removed from the show.
