FURIOUS fans have turned on Big Brother bosses for fixing the show by not booting out Darnell Swallow and Rex Newmark for bullying Sara Folino.

Telly watchdog Ofcom have launched an official investigation after more than 1,500 fans complained, criticising the show’s bosses for not axing the two lads.


They claim the verbal attack in which Sara, 27, was quizzed about her sex life, told to flash her breasts and branded a “slut” and an “ugly bitch”, amounts to sexual abuse.


And they are baffled as to why Darnell, 26, and Rex, 24, are still on the show when former housemates Alex De-Gale, 23, and Dennis McHugh, 23, were both removed when their behaviour was deemed “unacceptable”.


Yesterday, Big Brother called them both into the diary room where they were issued with official warnings.


Viewer Gaye Denyer, from Wiltshire, stormed: “I am outraged that Channel 4 have appeared to condone this behaviour by not pulling them out.


“It is an absolute disgrace. If that sort of talk happened in the workplace, Darnell and Rex would find themselves in court. I am a fan of the show, but this time they have gone too far.”


One of hundreds of text messages sent to our newsdesk from angry fans read: “Rex and Darnell r vile. Rachel humiliated and Sara vilified, bullied and abused.


“Rex eggs Darnell on. They r a nasty pair who seem 2 hate women. Channel 4 should remove them b4 the final.”


A spokeswoman for Ofcom said they had received more than 1,500 complaints and the calls were still coming in.


Darnell, who started giving Sara grief after she rejected his advances and admitted she fancied Stu, tried to defend his actions to BB.


He said: “I feel like she represents basically how my life on the outside world goes with women.


“I got annoyed or whatever, obviously she knows that I don’t think that she is an ugly bitch.


“Everything I say to her goes in one ear and out the other, unless it’s something like negative, then that has to be something that’s set in stone. I think that’s what I was miffed about.”


Later, Rex added: “Sara knows I’m only playing with her, I made it very clear. I hate bullies, I would never bully someone.”


A Channel 4 spokesman said: “Big Brother will take appropriate action where unacceptable behaviour, including bullying, can lead to offence.


“Rex has apologised to Sara, and Darnell understands that his behaviour was not acceptable.”


This is not the first time this series has been hit with an official Ofcom investigation.


More than 1,500 people logged their concerns about bully Alex De-Gale, and mouthy Scot Dennis McHugh faced a police investigation after spitting in Mohamed’s face.

So if sara called darnell a ugly d!ck i doubt there would be any outcry. What a load of cr@p.
If this happens the bb is a joke, waste of time. Sara touch up the lads? What about that? PC gone crazy!!!

[monkeymadness]

dunno what ya mean mate lol

[Amy]

I have to say this. I don't agree with how Darnell treated Sara, I really don't. But....... all it achieves contacting Ofcom is to get Big Brother cancelled for good. If only they had an ofcom in normal day to day life.. no one would be allowed to even breathe after a while.

[Indierock&roll]

i dont think rex has done anything as bad as darnell...
even sara said!

With you there ... but... I'm just trying to make people see what happens when they contact ofcom.. eventually the show gets cancelled. Then no TiBB... but the biggest point I'd like to make is.. we all react to a highlight feed, even me, but I like to wait to the next's night's highlights to see what happens and one of those things was Rex and Darnell getting told off. There is one thing letting off steam.. that's why we have forums... it's another contacting ofcom

[BigOz]

The reason why Alexandra and Dennis got ejected was by 2 things

1. Alexandra CROSSED the line by threating and making threats to ALL fellow housemates and it was aid other housemates found her "threating."
2. Dennis got ejected because he SPAT into SOMEBODY ELSE'S Face.

3. Both Darnell and Rex haven't crossed the line YET. If Darnell WILL continue bullying Sara, he will regret it, he already should as I bet he is losing Fans. I liked him, now I don't. Rex ... well, I love his sarcasm and he did apologize. Darnell didn't.

You just copied and pasted a bit I was just making a point of ofcom and what they do.... forget this site. I was making a point or impact of ofcom.. guess that's dashed now.

[andyman]

lol dont worry love the normal sane people dont go running to ofcom.. Those that do cant be helped. You could make a thread about ofcom.

[andyman]

Sorry about the copying bit
It is true what you are saying and it would be awful to have a nation of marry whitehouse's making tv into... well i'm lost for words.

[Amy]

Yeah I could lol. But this thread mentions ofcom and I know not all people report to ofcom.. most say they have but the impact is great and would end up making those people angry that the show is cancelled for good then.
