Big Brother has been hit with over ‘1,000 Ofcom complaints’ in just one week, after fans have been noticing unfair treatment in the house.
Just days ago, viewers demanded ‘bully’ Jenkin to be evicted from the show, following his behaviour towards Yinrun.
And now the series has been inundated with criticism due to the constant bullyish behaviour in the group.
According to The Sun, Ofcom complaints have rocketed following last weeks episodes.
Last month, the publication reported that the ITV show had ‘clocked up 768 complaints for their Halloween special’.
Unfair: Big Brother has been hit with over ‘1,000 Ofcom complaints’ in just one week, after fans have been noticing unfair treatment in the house
Complaints: Just days ago, viewers demanded ‘bully’ Jenkin to be evicted from the show, following his behaviour towards Yinrun
Fans demanded Jenkin to be evicted from the show after his treatment of Yinrun, with many branding the Welshman a ‘bully’.
Viewers took to social media on Monday after spotting him ‘bullying’ his fellow housemate during the live feed, however the footage failed to make the main show.
And fans were left horrified after watching Jenkin joyfully tell pals Tom and Olivia how he had refused to share his birthday cake with rival Yinrun.
Saying: ‘You know when you sung Happy birthday to me? She got a me a knife to cut everyone a piece of cake and I went “That’s where you’re mistaken”‘.
With Tom laughing: ‘That would go in the bin before you shared it right?’.
And Olivia agreeing: ‘Yep’.
Taking To X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer wrote: ‘Jenkin is definitely a nasty Bully Get him out Of the Big Brother House #BBUK Making Trish & Yinrun Cry’.
While a second said: ‘Where is the clip where Jenkin told Yinrun she can’t have any cake. Why are the producers protecting this bully’.

Nasty: Meanwhile, evicted Paul raked in 45 complaints for his bullying behaviour towards Noky (pictured) at the beginning of the month
Someone else said: ‘Jenkin is so fake. In the live yesterday he was bitching about Yinrun trying to cut up cake for everyone and how she didn’t deserve it to his 2 minions’.
Meanwhile, evicted Paul raked in 45 complaints for his bullying behaviour towards Noky at the beginning of the month.
And recently during the spin-off Late and Live show, viewers caught glimpse of a brawl – which was quickly shut down.
During the clip, Trish could be heard shouting at someone that they were a ‘bully’ as a row erupted in the kitchen of the house.
It is unclear who she was addressing, but she could be heard saying: ‘So you know who you’ve been bullying, and who you’ve been attempting to bully. You are a bully! You are a bully! You’re a bully and it’s not fair!’
The panel noticed that Chanelle was doing some ‘heavy breathing’, as they noted that she seemed stressed about the argument.
Host Will Best later told viewers that they had been forced to cancel the live camera run segment on the programme because things had got ‘too spicy’.
The live feed, which airs at 11pm after Late and Live, was airing just bird noises rather than showing the usual instalment of nightly drama.

TRISH
AGE: 33
PROFESSION: Stay-at-home mum
FROM: Luton
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE PRIZE MONEY IF YOU WON? ‘I think my first priority is to sort out my housing situation. The housing crisis is just ridiculous and my housing situation has been unstable.

JORDAN
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Lawyer
FROM: Scunthorpe
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘Being cantankerous and acting as if I don’t want to be there even if I do in my heart. They might nominate me for being disengaged perhaps or not paying everyone an equal amount of attention. They may feel left out but I can’t help that.’
NOKY
AGE: 26
PROFESSION: Banker
FROM: Derby
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BECOME A BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE? ‘I love challenges. I’ve had so many amazing times in my life, like going to Miss Universe as Miss Great Britain. I like to do something different and I think this is the next challenge I want to conquer. I want to show people what pageant girls are really like and disprove a lot of stereotypes around them. I also show what it’s like being a woman who’s worked in male- dominated fields. I want to show that women are capable of doing anything they want.’
YINRUN
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Customer support agent
FROM: Harrogate
WHAT PART OF THE EXPERIENCE ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? ‘I’m most excited about being surrounded by so many people from different walks of life.

CHANELLE
AGE: 29
PROFESSION: Dental therapist
FROM: Llanelli
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO BE NOMINATED FOR? ‘Probably just for being annoying. In Wales, we have this saying, “I’ll do it now in a minute.” So like, if I went to make food and I left a dish on the side, I have all good intentions of washing it but I’d be like, “I’ll do it now in a minute,” and it might be three hours later before I do it. So probably for silly stuff like that.’
MATTY
AGE: 24
PROFESSION: Doctor
FROM: Isle Of Man

HENRY
AGE: 25
PROFESSION: Food writer
FROM: Cotswolds
HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? ‘I think they would say I’m particularly sociable and very chatty. I mean, I’ll be honest, my parents would definitely say I’m a bit of a snob but I take it as a compliment. I think it means you’ve got high standards and good taste. They’d say I was quite a peculiar child.’
OLIVIA
AGE: 23
PROFESSION: Dancer
FROM: Glasgow
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO GET NOMINATED FOR? ‘I think when people are in that hangry state, that’s when I’ll wind people up and grind their gears. I think they’ll nominate me for being full on, and for my brutal honesty and oversharing of opinions.’
