ITV hit by over 1,800 Ofcom complaints in one week from furious I’m A Celeb viewers
ITV has been by over 1,800 Ofcom complaints in just one week from furious I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here viewers.
Fans of the programme complained to the TV regulator about a number of episodes that aired last week.
907 people took to the regulator to complain about Tuesday 21 November’s instalment of I’m A Celeb.
The following day, 898 fans watching at home weren’t happy with what aired and also went to the regulator.
But they aren’t the only complaints that ITV have received during the show’s airtime.
It comes shortly after the broadcast network was hit with another 1,000 after singing controversial politician Nigel Farage.
Campaign group Best for Britain called on people to boycott the programme, insisting their choice to cast him is is “not good for our country”.
Meanwhile I’m A Celeb fans also raged over Ant and Dec mocking Sunderland.
Some haven’t been impressed after the Geordie duo made a number of digs about right-wing politics.
After three episodes, 103 fans have vented their frustration to the broadcasting regulator.
Newcastle-natives Ant and Dec took a stance in the Tyne–Wear derby football rivalry, comparing the “barren, hostile” outback to Sunderland, just seconds into the series premiere.
They’ve also mocked the viewership of conservative news channel GB News, on which Nigel has his own programme, regularly giving shoutouts to “Keith and Linda”.
Fans also wanted to go to Ofcom after seeing Nigels’ bum.
