Big Brother has been named this year's most complained about TV programme, according to data released by Ofcom.

The Channel 5 reality show received over 2,000 viewer complaints - 12.5% of the 16,000 issues registered with the regulator.

Most Big Brother complaints related to contestant Conor McIntyre's apparent bullying of Deana Uppal.

In November, Ofcom ruled that the series breached its broadcasting code by airing the footage. Channel 5 was also accused of misleading viewers over Facebook voting.

The X Factor Results Show and Phillip Schofield's alleged paedophile list stunt on This Morning came second and third respectively.

Many X Factor complaints surrounded accusations that the results had been fixed when Carolynne Poole was eliminated ahead of Rylan Clark.

The subject of most This Morning complaints related to Schofield handing the Prime Minister a list of alleged paedophiles live on TV.

ITV later had to pay Lord McAlpine £125,000 in damages after his name was involved in the stunt. Schofield was also disciplined by ITV.

Most complained about shows of 2012 (as of December 12):

1. Big Brother (Channel 5) - 2,088
2. The X Factor Results Show (ITV1) - 1,488
3. This Morning (ITV1) - 811
4. True Stories: Gypsy Blood (Channel 4) - 509
5. Live: The Silent Ascent (Sikh Channel) - 378
6. Sky News - 364
7. Islam: The Untold Story (Channel 4) - 293
8. The X Factor (ITV1) - 305
9. Citizen Khan (BBC One) - 256
10. Keith Lemon's LemonAid (ITV1) - 246

Deary me.

And do those who complained about the Caryolynne/Rylan result have no braincells whatsoever? Nearly 1500 people honestly think it's 'fixed'? Why do people still insist on bandying these terms around when they still fail to understand the real legal consequences the production company and ITV would face if they were actually fixing the result.

The mind boggles...where do they get these people and how much time do they have on their hands? That goes for all of the complaints.

Was hilarious.

"I am here to investigate Whether Islam is in fact a made up religion..


I talk to a Jewish & a Christian historian to find out the truth"

It's like asking the tooth fairy and a unicorn if santa really exists.

It's on YT of anyone wants to watch it.
