Why do you think they're handling it badly and what do you think they should have done differently? People on Twitter are dense and reactive, they were always going to fall over themselves demanding she be removed just like they do when someone uncovers something a housemate said six years ago. From a production and duty of care standpoint, if a housemate complaints that they were assaulted and feel threatened, they have to do something. They couldn't just turn around and accuse her of lying, that'd be a really bad look. Hence why they've aired the scene, shown her reaction, their response, and let the public make their minds up.

Oh sorry I should have been clearer. I don't think they're handling the situation in the house badly, just the PR of it all.

For example, I think it wouldn't have been a bad idea to put out a statement today explaining why they decided to show it and to give Ryan a warning.

[supertv247]

Last night averaged 1.43 million

Most watched Friday eviction in 2 years, up 150k on last week and 400k on last year. Catch up figures are going to be huge

[Denver]

I expected a fair bit more tbh

[AProducer'sWetDream]

Decent

Hopefully tonight's ep will do well with catch up as people will want to see Roxanne walk.

Any idea of the share?

And some other ratings:

BOTS- 616,000 (6.2%)

Live From The House- 340,000 (5.6%). 2nd in it's slot. Up hugely from last Live Feed which got 100k.

[Rob!]

Urgh great ratings and now they’re probably going to plummet again because the crowd ****ed it all up.

[MTVN]

Hm was still hoping for 1.5m+. It's a decent rating but the punch incident is one of the most discussed in years and generated so much coverage

When do we get more officials from BARB?

How much do we think it’ll drop by from tonight til the end now?

[Jack_]

Back to 1.1's probably

Ugh the civilian promo is gonna start next week as well, if she was still there all the casuals would've seen it

I don’t think it’ll drop? Especially not tonight.. her leaving will be shown so it’ll do very well I imagine. Then there’s a surprise eviction Monday, she might be there for an interview

I will be very, very, very surprised if she agrees to return for an interview. From her perspective her stint on this show has ruined her career

[Denver]

She had no career before she entered

I mean, even if you don't like you still have to admit she was one of the most famous and well known people going in

Ruined her life then

Either way, the point is still the same

It's a Saturday so at the very least a slight drop is almost guaranteed, then Sunday will be the first ep without Roxanne and I highly doubt she will even appear on TV for the rest of the year, let alone come back for an interview. I just think the show is gonna struggle to maintain viewership for another week with only 7 people left in who no viewers really have any strong feelings about.

If she did do an interview though I do agree that the ratings would rise for that particular episode.

She hadnt done anything major since Emmerdale/DOI and i dont count pretending to play a 14 year old in your 30s in Waterloo Road an achievement

[Scream]

I think there would be much higher ratings had this been on during the week when programmes like This Morning/GMB/Loose Women etc aired. Would have been a huge talking point.

[supertv247]

That episode deserves 4.3 million and it’ll get 1
