complaints in first week

Celebrity Big Brother 2015 has racked up almost 500 complaints to Ofcom in its first week.

 

Two ejections and a number of warnings issued to the housemates have seen viewers writing in to the TV watchdog.

Ofcom will assess the complaints to decide whether or not to launch an investigation into the show.

Complaints have centered around the exits of Ken Morley and Jeremy Jackson while Perez Hilton’s behaviour and antics have also resulted in objections.

The celebrity blogger was immune from the public vote this week but last night fans made it clear they had had enough, chanting ‘Get Perez Out!’ during the live eviction show.

Perez’s controversial comments have included comparing Ken’s exit to being “cancer free” and suggesting that Cami Li pretends to be a lesbian to win votes.

 

In last night’s highlights, Michelle Visage took aim at Perez and accused him of setting back the LGBT movement “fifty years”.

An emotional Michelle spoke to Big Brother in the Diary Room and complained about Perez’s suggestive topless dancing in the garden: “What we just witnessed is an outrage”.

She claimed that Perez “sets our community back fifty years,” adding “He’s an embarrassment, I do not want people judging the gay community on this ass.”

The total of 491 gripes to date are still well off CBB’s worst ever year back in 2007 when 45,000 Ofcom complaints were made over the now infamous race row.

 

Celebrity Big Brother 2015 airs nightly at Channel 5.

Celebrity Big Brother 2015 notched up another 1,200 Ofcom complaints in its second week.

 

They join the 500 or so objections to the show had in the first week, which saw the ejections of Jeremy Jackson and Ken Morley.

In this latest period, every single show between Monday, January 12 and Sunday, January 18 received multiple complaints ranging from 15 to 804 for each episode.

The highest was Friday’s first eviction show which saw Alicia and Cami Li row while Perez put on THAT performance in the garden in his underpants.

The second most complained show of the week was on the Sunday, where over 200 wrote in after Alexander O’Neal was ejected from the house.

In somewhat related news and Ken Morley’s interview on Loose Women ITV on Monday, 12 January, saw almost 300 complaints too.

All of the complaints will be assessed by Ofcom who will decide whether or not to launch an investigation into the show.

I do wonder why people feel the need to complain about reality TV. It's called "reality" for a reason. You may not like some of the things people do or say, but that happens every day in the real world. No use complaining to OfCom, complain to the individual.
