Tiffany Pollard was subject to bullying according to viewers and the communications regulator are currently deciding whether Channel 5 will be investigated or not

Celebrity Big Brother housemate John Partridge is caught up in a race row, following an argument with Tiffany Pollard.

During Tuesday night's CBB - Tiffany became hysterical after assuming David Gest had died in the Diary Room.

Following the incident she was asked to leave by the former EastEnders actor and other housemates because of her reaction and this upset some viewers.

While many CBB fans complained that it was unfair for the US reality star to be 'isolated' and 'abused', other viewers have alleged John's 'chicken' comment was racial motivated, which Ofcom are now assessing.

Partridge said: "[Tiffany] only wants to come to talk to us now cos she’s hungry and wants some chicken."

The CBB housemates demanded Tiffany leave the house after she laughed at causing havoc by misunderstanding what Angie Bowie had said to her.

John Partridge later told Tiffany how serious the situation was and that people were ready to leave if she stayed - because they felt threatened by her and didn’t want her in the house.

She replied: “Well that’s too bad!”

Partridge replied: "She only wants to come to talk to us now cos she’s hungry and wants some chicken."

Some viewers have taken offence to the alleged racial remark, saying that John's 'chicken' reference pandered to an offensive stereotype.

According to Ofcom there have been 211 complaints for Tuesday night's episode.

'41 complaints over bullying towards Tiffany by other housemates'.

'154 complaints that it was in bad taste to televise Angie being told of David Bowie's death'.

'16 complaints objecting to Tiffany's hysterical reaction and subsequent aggression around misunderstanding of David Bowie / David Guest death'.

An Ofcom spokesperson said: “We will assess these complaints before deciding whether to investigate or not”.

John Partridge's reps have contacted for comment.

Channel 5 have refused to comment on the situation.
