The latest episode of Big Brother has caused quite a stir among viewers, with many filing complaints to Ofcom regarding alleged misogynistic comments made by one of the housemates. Last week, fans were outraged when 34-year-old youth mentor, Marcello, lied about kissing fellow housemate Ali, a 38-year-old forensic psychologist.
It all started when the two were vaping in the smoking area and Marcello claimed they had "vape-kissed." Despite Ali's insistence that this was not a thing, Marcello ran back to the other housemates, claiming they had just kissed. This caused even more confusion as Ali is a lesbian with a girlfriend outside of the house. When Ali confronted Marcello about his lie, he laughed it off saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We didn't kiss; I'm joking."
This behavior did not go unnoticed by viewers, with many criticizing Marcello for his "vile" actions. In contrast, many showed their support for Ali, highlighting the discomfort she clearly felt around Marcello. One viewer even pointed out that the show's producers must have seen an issue with his behavior as they chose to air the footage from the smoking area.
In fact, things got so heated that on the day of the incident, 72 complaints were filed to Ofcom. Several fans even called for Marcello to be removed from the house due to his behavior. However, Ali recently expressed her desire to leave the show on her own accord, but then changed her mind.
Ofcom has confirmed that the complaints related to Marcello's behavior and his alleged misogynistic comments. This comes after it was revealed that four housemates, including Ali, were up for eviction. This nomination was made by Khaled, who was given the power to make a "killer nomination."
The second eviction of the series will take place on Friday night, with presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best announcing the results. The Agency has reached out to ITV for comment. Don't forget to tune in to tonight's episode at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
