The All Stars episode which aired on February 12 saw a pretty heated row between Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Elma Pazar. The explosive argument saw Ofcom receive 1,347 complaints. Viewers slammed Elma for bullying Ekin after the heart rate challenge and Elma storming off.
Throughout the whole Love Island All Star’s series, there were over 2,300 complaints to Ofcom due to bullying and excessive drama allegations. Grace Jackson also raised concerns from fans over her language used towards Luca Bish.
But it may come as a surprise, as Celebrity Big Brother has already had it’s fair share of bust ups in the house. So much so that since starting on April 7, it’s already racked up 1,200 complaints so far. On April 9, 1,110 complaints were made in relation to Mickey Rourke’s comments and behaviour towards Jojo Siwa – which later saw him removed from the house and axed from the show.
The 21-year-old YouTuber and singer, who is attracted to women and has a partner who is not a woman, was asked by the Hollywood actor if she “likes girls or boys” during the altercation. He responded, “If I stay for longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
In third place was an episode of GB News’ Headliners on January 22 which saw presenter Josh Howie discussing a sermon given by a US bishop, and appeared to suggest the LGBT community included paedophiles. Howie has since said his programme is a comedy show and his comment was intended as a ‘joke about paedophilia in the church’, as reported by Daily Mail.
Chris Hughes’ disgusting act has recently generated even more Ofcom complaints at CBB.
The broadcasting regulator received 125 complaints for its episode on Friday, April 18 for Chris urinating into cat litter as part of a task on the ITV show, whilst its Late and Live sister show on April 16 received a total of 55 complaints for comments made by Tiffany Pollard about Jack Shephard and an audience member.
Chris chose to wear a cat-themed cat-themed wee in a cat litter tray on Friday’s episode. AJ could be heard saying, “Disgusting,” when the clip was broadcast on Late and Live! Can you block the door, Chris asked JoJo to stand in front of the door. before repeating, “Don’t tell anyone I’ve weeded though.”
One viewer wrote, “Chris needs to get a backdoor eviction for that piddling,” and another wrote, “Watchers were horrified by the act.” He even washed his hands afterward. Another claimed that Chris’ only justification is that he was intoxicated. That is not sober behavior, “” A third shared, “Didn’t Chris grow up on a farm or something?” I vouch for his memory when I was in Love Island.
The ITV show is ending this Friday with a glittering finale – as six stars fight to be crowned champion after a triple eviction.
