Big Brother tops Ofcom’s 2013 ‘most complained’ list

Big Brother has topped Ofcom’s list of most complained about shows for the second year running with its ‘Secrets & Lies’ series, while the Celebrity version has also made the top ten.

According to figures released by the media regulator yesterday, a total of 965 complaints were logged regarding this year’s civilian edition of the long-running reality show.

The majority of these concerned housemate Jemima Slade’s warning for unacceptable language after she told Gina Rio that she wouldn’t ‘go’ for black men as romantic partners, with 305 viewers suggesting that producers had unfairly portrayed Slade as racist.

Elsewhere, 244 people accused Rio of ‘bullying’ Hazel O’Sullivan, and 166 were unhappy that footage of Daley Ojuederie’s violent behaviour towards O’Sullivan was broadcast.

The boxer was removed from the house after slapping the model and clasping his hands around her neck in an incident that he later described as a ‘play fight’.

However, the overall figure was down considerably on the 2,088 complaints made over Big Brother 13 last year, which were dominated by Conor McIntyre’s threats of physical and sexual violence towards Deana Uppal.

Meanwhile, August’s twelfth Celebrity edition came in at five on the list on 438 complaints, with some viewers claiming that it had demonstrated ‘animal cruelty’ when Abz Love ran Courtney Stodden’s toy bunny through the mangle.

Other shows that charted include The X Factor in second with 734 complaints – mostly concerning a raunchy guest performance from Lady Gaga – and ITV News in third on 574 due to a report covering the tragic death of Lee Rigby that contained graphic footage.

The single most controversial incident of 2013 was Rowan Atkinson’s parody of the Archbishop of Canterbury for Comic Relief, which drew 487 complaints.

Ofcom’s ten most complained about shows of 2013 are as follows:

Big Brother 2013: Secrets & Lies (Channel 5) – 965 complaints
The X Factor 2013 (ITV) – 734
ITV News – 574
Comic Relief (BBC One) – 492
Celebrity Big Brother 12 (Channel 5) – 438
Britain’s Got Talent 2013 (ITV) – 422
Emmerdale (ITV) – 376
BBC News – 354
Downton Abbey (ITV) – 252
Coronation Street (ITV) – 225

If they air the Indian version in the UK... why can't they air Big Brother Africa on the Africa Channel? I'd love to watch that on my TV, especially as it starts the build up to BBUK as well.

It's hilarious because BB could be controversy free completely if there is a dull series with no confrontation whatsoever, but they will always come out top because people make a habit of complaining about BB... I mean, over 400 complaints about Abz running a toy bunny through the mangle... please.

BB4 would air nowadays and it would generate 1,000 complaints... just because it's Big Brother.

if they don't put an American reality star in CBB13 it's xenophobic nd I'm gonna file a complaint
ofcom here I come

Their Impact :lovedup:

Meanwhile, August’s twelfth Celebrity edition came in at five on the list on 438 complaints, with some viewers claiming that it had demonstrated ‘animal cruelty’ when Abz Love ran Courtney Stodden’s toy bunny through the mangle.
