Big Brother has been hit with more than 650 Ofcom complaints following two controversial episodes of the ITV2 reality show. The broadcaster received 398 complaints over contestant Caroline Monk's transphobic comments towards fellow housemate Zelah Glasson, and 261 complaints about Feyisola Akintoye's behaviour towards Cameron Kinch.
Ofcom confirmed that the complaints related to episodes aired on 7 and 10 October 2025. The regulator said the majority of complaints about the first episode concerned Caroline misgendering Zelah, while those about the live eviction episode were linked to Feyisola's conduct towards Cameron.
In the first incident, Caroline made remarks about Zelah's gender during a game of spin the bottle, including asking whether Zelah had a penis. Big Brother issued a formal warning to Caroline, telling her that her language was “offensive and unacceptable”. She later apologised, saying: “It was a horrible thing I said.”
Days later, Feyisola became upset after Cameron said she had “barked” at him during dinner. The situation escalated when another housemate, Cameron B, became involved in a row with Feyisola. The exchange prompted a further wave of complaints to Ofcom.
The total number of complaints across the two episodes exceeded 650, highlighting viewer concern over the incidents. ITV has not yet publicly responded to the regulator's findings.
