Ofcom have confirmed that they are considering whether to investigate ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, over scenes aired in Tuesday (12 January) night’s episode.
While some viewers aren't happy with Tiffany, others have taken aim at her fellow housemates
Now, over 200 complaints have been made to the broadcasting watchdog, concerning a number of different aspects of the incidents that took place.
More than 150 of the complaints centre on the fact Angie was shown in tears after finding out about Bowie’s death, reports state, while over 40 complaints relate to how the rest of the housemates reacted, accusing them of bullying Tiffany.
However, another 16 objected to Tiffany’s “hysterical” response to Angie, and the fact that she spent a long time insistent that she wouldn’t be apologising to the star.
