Big Brother fans were not happy and demanded one housemate be removed

Fans rushed to complain after the latest scenes described as ‘scary to watch’.

Big Brother has been hit with thousands of complaints to Ofcom after what viewers said were ‘disturbing’ scenes. The regulator has once again updated its weekly stats of those received between the dates of October 13 and October 19.

The number of complaints range from just dozens up to thousands. It means that one of the most recent instalments of ITV’s reality series has attracted the most ire from fans throughout the entire run of the current series.

That was following the episode which aired on ITV2 on October 19. This attracted a staggering 7,138 complaints. This is an extraordinary amount even compared to the episode which gained the second most complaints over the last week, which was October 18 which received 658.

Ofcom have confirmed that complaints on October 19 related to Omar’s behaviour towards Rhianna. Meanwhile those on October 18 were over alleged bullying behaviour by Philip.

Scenes involving Omar and Rihanna on Monday this week caused a big stir among viewers. The couple seemed to cool things off with their relationship while Rihanna at one point claimed Omar was ‘acting weird’.

Later Omar told Rihanna to stop talking about him with others. Afterwards, he had his own conversation with Lynx about Rihanna,.

Before bed, he invited Rihanna for a chat, claiming he ‘could not sleep on it’. In the store room Rihanna told him: “From eviction night, up until now I feel like you’ve been acting weird with me.”

She was eventually called to the Diary Room to check if she was OK. She said: “I’m not that good but I’ll be fine. Obviously me and Omar have not been good over the last few days and sometimes I don’t like the way he speaks to me.”

Fans were not pleased with what they saw. A thread on Big Brother UK subreddit saw several admit that they made a complaint to Ofcom.

One person said: “I’ve just put my complaint in. That was so disturbing and scary to watch.” Another added: “I’ve never made an ofcom complaint before but it feels so important to do something… if there’s any chance this can pressure BB production into removing Omar. . . So so dark.”

Women’s Aid released a statement following the backlash and said: “We’re seeing coercive and controlling behaviours being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother. We’ve been contacted by many viewers who have expressed concern. Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment.

“Producers should understand their responsibility to keep contestants emotionally and physically safe. The women in these programmes are real people and need real support. We continue to urge television companies such as ITV to engage with experts like Women’s Aid to understand the nature of abuse and how they can do better to protect contestants.”

A spokesperson for Big Brother said: “All Housemates receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language.

“Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and any instances of inappropriate behaviour are responded to appropriately. Welfare and safeguarding are prioritised throughout the production, with a dedicated welfare team available to support Housemates before, during and after their time in the House.”

Big Brother also received 206 complaints over the most recent live eviction show, about the alleged bullying of Rob by Rochelle and Philip. 110 complaints were also made for the episode aired on October 13 over a range of issues including comments made by Rochelle about Yasmin’s weight, Omar’s behaviour towards Yasmin and Rhianna, and Lynx’s behaviour towards Rob.

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

ITV viewers have issued the same complaint following the latest episode of Big Brother

Big Brother viewers have been left ‘devastated’ by recent scenes in the ITV show.

The reality competition returned to screens on Sunday night (October 18), thrusting viewers into the aftermath of Friday’s eviction. Radio presenter Rob was forced to leave the house after losing the public vote to his co-stars Yasmin and Twinks.

Following Rob’s sad exit, Big Brother has introduced this week’s big theme: The House of Time. In the coming days, each housemate will be taking part in tasks to win time with their loved ones.

But the exciting twist has been overshadowed by a huge row that broke out between housemates just minutes into the latest episode. It came after Catrin was left in tears over the divide among her co-stars, admitting she felt uncomfortable because housemates have secretly been “nasty about each other”.

“I feel so frustrated. I feel like there is such a clique. I just hate it,” she confided in Lynx. Her complaint soon made its rounds in the house, and sparked a heated row between Twinks and Philip.

After spotting Catrin’s low mood, Yasmin asked her co-stars: “Is she ok? She looked like she’d been crying.” Twinks then explained that the 23-year-old was struggling to adjust to the hierarchy in the house, implying that the so-called “King Philip and Queen Rochelle” are key players in the housemates’ divide.

She said: “Yeah she is. She’s struggling with the dynamics of the house. Big time. It’s getting to her a lot. She’s a sensitive, stunning, little soul and the whole us and them, the whole hierarchy of this spot. Let’s not pretend this isn’t a thing.”

Tensions reached boiling point when Rhianna reported the conversation to Philip, who wasted no time before confronting Twinks. Storming into the lounge, he fumed: “Twinks. Who is the highest person in here?”

Twinks defended herself and replied: “You are.” After some back-and-forth, Philip then hit back with: “Keep your f***** mouth shut.” In another scene, the 53-year-old vented his frustrations with Twinks to his close friends and brutally referred to her as a “c***”.

The row proved too much for Twinks as she was left contemplating quitting the show altogether. Confiding in Big Brother, Twinks revealed that she felt “hideous” after her spat with Philip. “I am so unwelcome in this place,” she said as she tried to fight back tears.

She added: “Why would I put myself through this? It doesn’t feel nice. ‘Grow thick skin, it’s the big Brother house.’ Maybe I don’t want a thick skin, maybe I had to have a thick skin growing up and I’ve spent the last 15 years trying to feel soft and feel things.

“It’s not nice, they’re not nice people. I really genuinely feel like Cat would have such a better chance if I wasn’t here. She’s such a sweet, kind, and empathetic person.”

Viewers at home were left ‘devastated’ as they watched Twinks and Catrin crying over the divide among the contestants, with many calling for Big Brother to take some form of action to resolve tensions in the house.

AJ Odudu and Will Best hosted another live eviction on Friday, which saw one housemate bid farewell

Another housemate has been kicked out of the Big Brother house.

The hit ITV2 competition returned to screens on Friday night (October 16) for another live eviction. The housemates nominated earlier this week, leaving Twinks and Rob at risk of elimination.

Twinks received six nominations from Rochelle, Frankie, Rhianna, Philip, Yasmin and Omar. Rob also received six nominations from Philip, Rhianna, Omar, Frankie, Lynx and Rochelle. After receiving the most nominations, Twinks and Rob joined Yasmin in the eviction line-up, after she was handed a killer nomination at the end of a House of Power task.

This marked Rob’s second week being up for eviction. He was notably saved by the public last week, when Pauline bid her farewells to the house for the final time. But did he manage to survive another eviction?

Who left Big Brother tonight?

After surviving last week’s eviction, Rob has now been voted out of the Big Brother house. “I’ve made five weeks!” Rob declared, after his exit was announced by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.

Fans were quick to react to the eviction, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on who was sent packing. “Absolutely abysmal that Rob is the first man to get the boot considering who else is in there but hey, these were the cards we were dealt,” one person wrote on X.

Another added: “I’M SCREAMING.” A third said: “I’m actually so upset. Why did they vote Rob out???? He was having such a good time.”

The frustration continued, as someone else commented: “Devastated but I would’ve been upset whatever happened.” A fifth viewer echoed the sentiment: “Rob is ROBBED! How people even booing him is WILD! He was the most himself of everyone in that house that got him evicted sadly. Rob you were a fantastic housemate.”

Meanwhile, other viewers predicted the winner of the series, after Yasmin received loud cheers at the eviction. “Yasmin is going to win surely after that reception?” one person wrote. Another added: “Aww Yasmin’s face when she heard the cheers.”

Elsewhere on tonight’s Big Brother, the housemates took part in a characteristic survey as part of this week’s shopping task. In the garden, the housemates had to select a random ball, take a seat on the “mood swing”, and throw it into the net of the housemate they believed received the most votes for a certain characteristic.

When it was Rhianna’s turn for the red team, she retrieved the ball that said “most secretive”. As she made her decision, Rhianna said: “I feel like the most secretive in the house could be Frankie, only because you have a lot going on in your head and you’re just telling Yasmin something.”

Rochelle then described Yasmin as the “most flirty”, before Frankie had to identify who had been branded the “biggest headache”. Tensions later flared in the house, after Rob called Philip and Rochelle out for eating the red team’s basic rations.

“I f****** know I’m right, is what I’m saying,” Philip fumed. “If I want a cracker, I’ll have a f****** cracker and don’t tell me I can’t otherwise, okay?”

Big Brother fans weren’t impressed with one star’s actions during the latest episode

One Big Brother star has sparked backlash after their comments in the house.

The hit reality series returned to screens on Thursday (October 15), ahead of the next eviction. Yasmin, Twinks and Rob will all face the public vote on Friday night (October 16). Yasmin notably received a killer nomination this week, while Twinks and Rob each received six nominations from their fellow housemates.

The housemates tackled another shopping task during the latest episode, as the house transformed into Big Brother’s body. The teams were given various challenges to determine who would be awarded the luxury shopping budget, while the losing side had to face basic rations.

Drama quickly ensued when Rochelle upset Harry during the task, leading to him storming out of the living area. Harry was supported by his fellow housemates as he broke down in tears in the bathroom.

But the tension didn’t end there, as Philip later shared his true feelings about Rochelle, who he has appeared to be close with in the house. During a whispered conversation in the garden, Philip told Lynx: “Lynx, I have wished for her to go.

“So, if she f****** goes, because it’s got that way now. I haven’t got no time for her. I haven’t, I’m telling you, I’m speaking honest with you. That’s why I have time in bed, because I want to stay away from her. And that’s no word of a lie that.”

Philip went on: “Rochelle has said too much… And it’s funny what she kept saying to me and all. She’d say, ‘You’re my best friend in here.’ She said, ‘You’ll never turn on me, will you? Never turn on me.’ She kept saying that to me. She’s got too f****** much to say.”

Lynx added: “And it’s never-ending. And like you make such a pure soul like Harry get like that today, and then you come in the bathroom and make it about you. It’s just sometimes you just have to think about what you say.”

Philip continued: “See, she’s had a very privileged [life] from a child. I think she’s been spoiled, and I think she’s got away with everything. Everything she wants, she got. She never wants to listen about you, about your life, about your things. And do you know what? I’m not really interested and I don’t want to tell her.”

Lynx then said: “Since Sam went or like, when he was giving his reason to vote her, he was like, ‘All you talk about is me, me, me.’ God that stuck with me.”

Philip shared that Sam was “f****** right” about what he said, before concluding: “This is what she’s like. And come on, Lynx, she’s got on everyone’s [nerves]. She has. The ones [that have] gone and the ones [that are] here, she f****** has.”

Viewers were left speechless after hearing Philip’s comments, with many sharing their shock on social media. “Not a good look,” one person wrote on X.

Another added: “Wow can’t believe Philip’s now turning on Rochelle. I sense a downfall coming.” A third said: “Not Philip showing his true colours after that chat about Rochelle!”

A fourth viewer echoed the sentiment, saying: “Philip is giving game player, sorry not sorry.” Someone else similarly shared: “Philip turning on his ‘best friend’ is not what I expected.”

The drama continued in the Big Brother house on Thursday, as one star struggled to control their emotions

Emotions ran high during the latest episode of Big Brother.

It’s been a tense week in the house, following the results of the latest nominations. Yasmin was instantly put up for eviction after receiving a killer nomination this week. It was soon revealed that Twinks and Rob would be joining Yasmin in facing the public vote, after they each received six nominations from their fellow housemates.

During Thursday’s (October 15) episode, the house was transformed into Big Brother’s body, as part of this week’s shopping task. The housemates, who remained in their two teams, were tasked with keeping Big Brother’s body healthy and happy.

Team captains Rob and Samuel became Big Brother’s brain, and were able to hold all the power. All the other housemates became blue and red blood cells, and had to obey every command given by their side of the brain. The team that performed the best would be rewarded with a luxury shopping budget, while the other team would have to make-do with basic rations.

It later became too much for Harry, as he started to feel the pressure of being in the house. “I feel like all our lot have f***** off. I feel like we’re just left and even then, Rochelle just said, ‘What did you do to stand out?'” he said.

Rob tried to comfort his friend, saying: “This process is hard enough without people making it harder for each other. You can tell me to shut up if this is an overreach, but from a couple of people it feels there’s an assumption that you can’t do a challenge.”

Several jibes from his fellow housemates later proved too much for Harry. During the task, Rochelle told Harry to “f****** concentrate”, adding: “It’s really annoying. He won’t be laughing when he’s got no f****** thing to eat next week.”

Harry didn’t take too kindly to Rochelle’s comments, as he was soon seen slamming the bedroom door and rushing into the bathroom. Philip and Lynx stepped in to try and calm Harry down by getting him to take a moment in the toilet cubicle.

Harry soon emerged in tears, saying: “I feel s*** man. Just can’t be a****.” Rochelle later apologised to Harry, and became emotional as she reflected on her behaviour.

“I’m desperate to get home and just hope that I’m more patient and just different. I can just be horrible and I have to be better,” she tearfully said to Yasmin and Rhianna. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Rob and Samuel acknowledged that they needed to support Harry more during their time in the house.

After watching the emotional scenes, viewers were quick to share their concern on X, with one person writing: “That is my worst nightmare – having a meltdown and like 6 people surrounding me. LET HIM BREATHE.” Another added: “Harry has a beautiful soul. Rochelle needs to leave.”

A third said: “Sad to watch Harry be so emotional, he’s clearly hurting.” Someone else echoed the sentiment, saying: “Seeing Harry sad has genuinely upset me.”

The new housemate has quickly become a frontrunner to win the ITV2 show

A Big Brother housemate looks almost unrecognisable in a snap taken before she found fame.

The ITV2 reality show originally welcomed 16 contestants into the famous house last month, but two new faces have just joined the chaos. East Londoner Twinks entered the house last Friday (October 2), alongside teaching assistant Catrin.

Fashion stylist Twinks has quickly become a fan favourite, although she struggled to bond with some of her co-stars straight away. She has quickly built a reputation for her eye-catching style and it seems to have started long before viewers met the reality star.

In a throwback snap shared by her close friend Louise O’Mahony, the Big Brother housemate is seen with pink hair, a far cry from her current blonde look.

The picture was posted by her fashion designer ‘best friend,’ whose designs have actually made it into the Big Brother house. Louise has revealed online that Twinks has been wearing outfits from her clothing brand on the show.

Louise also shared a sweet tribute about their friendship, writing on Instagram: “If you told me 13 years ago that Twinks would go into the BB house I honestly …wouldn’t be surprised.

“She has entered the Big Brother house as a new housemate of 2026!! Thank god frankly, because that house needs some sparkle and whimsy injected into it ASAP! Who better to bring the vibes back up than the Queen of charisma, curator of colour, the Party Princess!”

The heartfelt statement continued: “One of the last things she said to me was “I’ll do anything to make my friends laugh” well, here we are…Who knows what chaos might come in the next few weeks! For any friends and fans seeing this, she’s going to need us to get behind her, sing her praises in the comments and make sure she doesn’t get voted off in any public votes.”

Twinks was immune from nominations during her first week in the house, but housemates will be free to put her up for the public vote during the next nomination vote. She has so far been a popular with the likes of Rob, Harry, Pauline and Sam.

But she initially failed to win over Rochelle,57, and Philip,53, who were sceptical about the Londoner from the moment she walked into the house. And it seems Twinks already anticipated some tension with the “mature members of the house”.

Just before joining the show, she told ITV: “I’m apprehensive about meeting the more mature members of the house from what I’ve seen. We’ve got a lot of youngers in there and I tend to go into big sis, mummy mode with youngers. I’m surprised at the more mature members of the House.”

On the flip side, the 36-year-old knew who she would instantly click with. “I’m excited to meet Rob and Sam – I think that’s where you’ll find me. I’m a silly goose in high glam,” she said. “I really have no interest in talking shit behind people’s backs or being shouted at. I do not want to be shouted at. I just want to sing some show tunes!”

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

The Big Brother house has said goodbye to yet another contestant

A divisive housemate has just been kicked out of the Big Brother house.

The ITV2 competition returned to screens tonight (October 9) for its hotly-anticipated live eviction. The housemates nominated face-to-face earlier this week, leaving carer Pauline and radio presenter Rob at risk of elimination.

Pauline, 31, had received five nominations from Lynx, Philip, Rhianna, Rochelle and Catrin. While 25-year-old Rob received six nominations from Frankie, Lynx, Omar, Philip, Rhianna and Yasmin.

This eviction marked Pauline’s third week being nominated for the public vote in just four weeks, and the Essex-based star was naturally upset to be facing the chopping block yet again. Her response to being nominated sparked a huge row in the house after newcomer Catrin broke down in tears because Pauline refused to speak to her after the face-to-face vote.

Tensions boiled over when Rochelle, 57, found the teaching assistant in tears and decided to confront Pauline. Their heated spat ended with Big Brother issuing a formal warning to Pauline for “unacceptable behaviour”. But has she managed to survive yet another eviction?

Who left Big Brother tonight?

Pauline has been evicted from the Big Brother house following a public vote. Her exit stunned her co-stars and left Yasmin in tears. But the 31-year-old was in good spirits as she danced her way out of the famous house.

Fans were quick to react to the eviction and took to social media to share their thoughts on who was sent packing. “Very disappointing Pauline had to leave just as Twinks brought her back to life. Things were just getting interesting! #bbuk,” commented one.

Someone else shared: “We are getting rid of too many big characters week after week. Can we get rid of some of the deadwood please. We need to keep the drama going #BBUK.”

Others have been left regretting their votes, with one viewer stating: “We voted the wrong person out. She was finally coming out her shell. Regret voting Pauline now:( #BBUK.”

Tonight’s eviction also came with major news as hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcomed The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins into the house as a special guest.

Big Brother viewers were left emotional after one housemate confessed she wanted to leave the ITV2 show

A Big Brother housemate has admitted “I want to go home”.

It’s been three weeks since 16 contestants walked into the famous house, hoping to win over the British public and bag the huge cash prize. Among them was teacher Yasmin, who formed close bonds with her co-stars Omar and Rhianna.

But her relationships hit a rough patch earlier this week after she rushed to defend newcomer Twinks. It all started when Twinks admitted she identifies as a witch in a private conversation with three other housemates.

News of Twinks’ spiritual beliefs spread like wildfire across the house and Omar wasn’t impressed by her confession. He later had a heated conversation with Twinks, where he asked her if she has ever ridden a broomstick.

The 21-year-old went on to insist that the word ‘witch’ has negative connotations, but Yasmin begged him to “have some respect”. The fallout from their argument left Yasmin in tears during Monday’s episode (October 5) of the ITV show.

The emotional housemate was shown crying alone in bed as she confessed: “I want to go home.” Pauline was quick to console her and asked: “Why do you feel that way?”

Yasmin replied: “I miss my friends and family. I miss how normal everyone is.” Pauline then offered words of support, saying: “Whatever you need to get some peace in this house, take that time. You’ll be okay, my girl. You will be okay.”

It’s not just her clash with Omar that has left the ITV star heartbroken, she also found out that Rhianna has been “chatting s***” behind her back. Yasmin discovered that Rhianna believed she had a secret crush on Lynx in last night’s episode.

Reflecting on the revelation, she told Big Brother: “It’s not the comment that’s p**** me off. It’s the fact that you sat there chatting s*** about me, and it’s like, are we not friends?

“It just makes me think how much other s*** has been said? And I’m sat there going ‘Love you, sis. Hi, sis. How are you doing?’ And then all I’ve ever done in here is look out for Omar, and I just think it’s just been thrown back in my face.”

Although their friendship has lasted weeks, Yasmin told Big Brother that “there’s no coming back” from their latest argument. “The friendship is dead in the water,” she said.

Viewers at home were left heartbroken as they watched Yasmin break down. One shared online: “Watching Yasmin cry was hard, I’m so p**** with how she gets treated in there.”

Someone else said: “Feel for Yasmin so much right now #bbuk,” while a third added: “Oh bless Yasmin. I feel awful for her.”

And a final defender posted: “Yas has done nothing wrong they’re making fun of a new housemate which is rude as hell and she’s simply defending her what’s wrong with that… #bbuk.”

The Good Morning Britain guest opened up about an emotional moment that didn’t make it to air

A Big Brother star has revealed one of her co-stars reduced her to tears in a scene fans never saw.

Charlotte Nott is a quadruple amputee who entered the famous house earlier this month, and revealed it was always her dream to join the ITV2 competition. But the 18-year-old student “reached her limit” after just 13 days and decided to quit.

She has since been sharing behind-the-scenes truths with viewers, including key moments that didn’t make it to air. Charlotte has now opened up about the unseen moment she ‘broke down crying’ during her appearance on Good Morning Britain.

The programme on Friday, October 1, saw hosts Kate Garraway and Ranvir Singh asking the teenager about her first TV experience. They soon touched on a controversial comment that fellow housemate Rochelle Rackham made about Charlotte’s limb loss.

The 57-year-old told Charlotte, who lost her limbs to meningitis, that she has “a bit of a fear” of people with “no arms”. She went on to admit: “It’s just something that’s always freaked me out a bit.

“And when I saw you I was like ‘Oh my god’. And I feel so ashamed because now I don’t even look at it and to have what you’ve had done is just like unbelievable.”

Charlotte later confided in the other housemates about the comment, claiming: “I’m not, like, offended but obviously it was rude.” Although ITV viewers watched the conversation, they didn’t see the emotional fallout it sparked days later.

On GMB, Charlotte shared: “A few days after that, they didn’t show it, but I did break down crying in the garden. Not that it offended me, but I just felt like I was uncomfortable around her. Because I was like ‘Well, she’s told me she’s scared of me and like I’m, how can I sit across [from] her?'”

The interaction left a mark on the student but she has insisted it wasn’t the sole reason for her early exit, although she confessed: “I think it just kind of added to it maybe a little bit”.

The former housemate has also posted the story on her TikTok page, explaining: “A few days after the Rochelle comment me and Yas had a heart to heart in the garden one night. I broke down crying saying it did actually bother me and I felt really uncomfortable in the house.”

Charlotte became the first housemate to voluntarily walk out of the current series after less than two weeks in the Big Brother house. She left just hours after the latest evicted star, Chelsey Ammari, who has also been shedding light on unseen moments from the show.

Tensions reach boiling point as the Big Brother housemates clash yet again in a fresh episode of the ITV series

The Big Brother house is once again thrown into chaos tonight as one housemate takes aim at two co-stars.

It is currently the House of Nothing week, which means the contestants were stripped of basic luxuries like their beds and access to hot water. Viewers have already witnessed a string of arguments as housemates have become frustrated by living with the bare minimum. And it seems there are more clashes set to unfold in Thursday night’s (October 1) episode.

Most of the drama this season has centred on Johanne and Rochelle, who previously argued over “undercooked” chicken and more recently had a row about microaggressions in the house. But this time it’s Omar, Rob and Yasmin who are set to butt heads.

It begins when Rob climbs onto the communal table and starts dancing, with other housemates joining in around him. Omar isn’t happy with his co-star, though, as he repeats: “Get off the table – we eat on it. Get off the table, please.”

Omar then says to Rochelle: “This is mad – I put my bread on that table yesterday. And he’s got his feet on it. It’s horrible.” Rob listens to his housemate’s concerns and starts cleaning the table.

Rob then playfully says: “For the germophobes in the room.” But Omar defends his complaint, arguing: “It’s not germophobia,” before adding: “Yesterday I put my toast on that table and ate it off the table.

Omar quickly replies: “Yeah – I’m the fun police.”

“That means if I didn’t see you do that, today I would have put toast on top of your feet.” But Omar’s frustration doesn’t stop there. The jewellery seller later heads to the garden and reports the incident to some of his fellow housemates.

He then turns his attention to Yasmin and tells her: “You need to stop with the obnoxiously loud songs.” This sparks another argument as Yasmin hits back with: “Are you just against having any fun?”.

Tensions reach boiling point when Yasmin shuts down Omar’s comments, saying: “Let your hair down. Have a laugh. It’s alright. F****** hell. I’m going to do what the f*** I please. Stop telling me what to do. You keep telling me what to do and I don’t like it.”

Rob also appears taken aback by Omar’s comments but fans will have to tune in to find out if the clash causes another rift in the house.

The Blame was back for another instalment on Monday, with viewers quickly issuing a complaint

ITV’s thrilling crime drama The Blame returned to screens on Monday.

The six-part series stars Michelle Keegan and Douglas Booth as DI Emma Crane and DI Tom Radley, who attempt to expose corruption and deep-rooted misogyny within the police force after the death of a teenage girl. But unexpected twists and secrets soon leave Emma questioning who she can really trust.

The official synopsis teases: “The drama dives into secrets, suspicion and systemic corruption – all under the surface of this seemingly quiet town. The series begins when the body of teenage figure skater Sophie Madsen is discovered, sending shockwaves through the town of Wakestead.

“As DI Crane and DI Radley dig deeper, what starts as a tragic death, spirals into a tangled web of lies, institutional cover-ups, and moral compromise. As the clock ticks and trust fractures, Crane must navigate both a murder investigation and the treacherous politics inside her own team,” reports Wales Online.

During the latest instalment on Monday (September 28), Emma and her colleague DC Lewis Brimah (Nathan Mensah) visited Tom, after he was put under investigation. As the police officers discussed the case, many viewers were left distracted by the ex-cop who was hidden in the bushes outside.

One person felt that the detail was “really odd”, while several others shared their frustration. That’s not all, as the drama soon continued when Tom’s house was later raided by a swarm of officers.

Viewers quickly questioned why so many detectives had been instructed to attend the scene. One person asked on X: “Omg what are they doing at Tom’s house.”

Another added: “200 police to search Tom’s house,” while a third said: “So they need 20 coppers to arrest one man???” Someone else commented: “All raiding Tom’s house! OMG!”

Despite the confusion, The Blame has garnered largely positive reviews from critics and viewers since its debut last week. One IMDb user wrote: “We found this an amazing series. Keeps you guessing all the way through. This is no slow burner.”

Another added: “I binge watched this series in one day and loved it. Highly recommend this series. The acting was superb especially by Michelle Keegan, Douglas Booth, Nathan Mensah and Ian Hart. The script was really well thought out and it was a massive shock to read the team group message chats – taken from actual UK police officers, that have since been dismissed from the force.”

Someone else commented: “Loved this show. The acting was really good. The twists kept twisting and the turns kept turning right till the end. I usually have these things figured out but I was genuinely surprised by this show.”

The series has been adapted by Megan Gallagher with co-writers Ashley Sanders and Namsi Khan from the 2023 novel of the same name by Charlotte Langley.

The Blame is available to stream on ITVX

JOEY Essex’s most explosive TOWIE brawl has resurfaced 14 years on as he prepares to step back into the boxing ring.

Back in 2012, the reality star was filmed grappling with co-star Ricky Rayment in the street as their castmates screamed for them to stop.

Footage of the showdown has recently gone viral, with one fan posting it alongside the words: “The moment Joey Essex lost his head on TV.”

The row erupted at the relaunch of Lauren Goodger’s salon after Joey became convinced Ricky had been talking about him behind his back.

Confronting his co-star, Joey snapped: “You’re chatting s**t behind my back mate.”

Ricky insisted he had been “off his nut” and tried to apologise, but the argument continued.

Joey’s sister Frankie Essex stepped in, only for Ricky to tell her: “No one’s talking about you and no one ever will talk about you.”

The pair then headed outside, where cameras caught them grappling and throwing punches as the women shouted for them to stop.

The fan who shared the clip wrote: “This was crazy.”

Another commented: “Even celebs who are meant to be cut crease perfect lose their cool sometimes.”

A third said: “I’ve never seen this before. Respect to Joey for sticking up for his relatives.”

The explosive showdown can still be watched on ITVX in series four, episode nine of The Only Way Is Essex.

It comes as Joey, 36, is now preparing to headline a Misfits Boxing show against controversial comic Dapper Laughs, whose real name is Daniel O’Reilly.

The pair will meet at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday, October 10.

It will be Joey’s second bout for Misfits after he beat Portuguese influencer Numeiro on points in Manchester last August.

Misfits have confirmed that Joey has three fights planned with the promotion, making the Dapper Laughs clash the next step in his boxing run.

The pop star duo have revealed exactly what happened during the tense row

Jedward have broken their silence on the heated Big Brother row that left them “traumatised”.

The pop star duo, whose real names are John and Edward Grimes, joined the reality show on Sunday and had already sparked chaos by Monday night. It all started when they offered 21-year-old Rhianna some friendly advice while relaxing in the garden hot tub.

Rhianna approached the pair and asked for their unfiltered opinions about her, and they didn’t hold back. They criticized her relationships in the house and encouraged her to get out of her comfort zone, telling her “you’re not in Love Island“.

The conversation spiralled out of control when Rhianna reported it back to her close friend Chelsey, revealing she was really upset. Fellow housemate Lynx then realised the young woman was sad and decided to confront Jedward.

When Lynx approached the twins, the discussion became even more heated and ended with John splashing Lynx with water from the hot tub.

John has now explained exactly what happened in that heated moment, arguing that the water splashing was “innocent”. Speaking on Big Brother’s companion show, The Group Chat, he said: “I had given the girl [Rhianna] a bit of advice.

“She left, I literally thought she was calling it a night. Suddenly Chelsey is back and I’m like ‘Ok that must be it then’. And he [Lynx] was about to – I don’t know if he was about to get into the tub – but the water was just there.”

He went on to add: “It could have got way worse. I think the splashing was just innocent. It was just an innocent moment.” Other housemates were forced to step in after the splashing incident as Lynx was left furious with the twins.

Edward revealed his own perspective on the argument, adding: “I’m traumatised, I’m gonna have to check into a therapist. I will never get into a hot tub and not think of this.”

The musicians were at the heart of drama throughout their Big Brother journey but they have insisted they didn’t set out to “make trouble”. They had actually hoped to form some connections and enjoy a few days in the famous house.

However, Jedward’s time on the show came to end in Tuesday’s (September 22) episode. They returned to social media before their final scenes had even aired and shared unfiltered posts about the remaining housemates.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, one post said: “The truth hurts I guess I think we deserve a medal for the honesty and impact we brought to the house authentic vibes always. They acting too pretentious and predictable and raging we clocked.”

While another added: “Don’t ask for an opinion if you can’t handle the truth I was calm, collected, fair and straight with them #bbuk.”

Big Brother star Rhianna Collins’ name was actually inspired by the famous singer

A Big Brother 2026 housemate has admitted she doesn’t use the name she was given at birth.

There’s already plenty of drama brewing in the famous house and newcomers Jedward have only been fuelling more chaos. Just last week, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcomed 16 new contestants into the ITV series.

Two housemates were then forced to say their goodbyes on Friday night (September 18), with fake contestant Tays leaving alongside bartender Millie. But viewers have also been watching romances bloom between Chelsey and Lynx, as well as Omar and Rhianna.

However, this won’t be Rhianna’s first love story to play out on screen. She previously dated Made in Chelsea star Freddy Knatchbull and appeared in several episodes of the show alongside him.

In her first scene on the Channel 4 series, the 21-year-old revealed that she doesn’t use the name she was given at birth. The Russian star actually chose her current name at just six years old, after her mother became a British citizen.

“I’m Russian but I’ve lived everywhere,” she explained to Freddy’s friends. When asked what her real name is, Rhianna shared: “I changed my name too, when I was like six. Because my mum became a British citizen.”

She went on to reveal her potential choices: “As a six-year-old, she’s asking me ‘Oh, change your name if you want.’ And I was like ‘Okay.’ Gave her three options: Zendaya, Rihanna like the singer, or Kylie Jenner.”

The Big Brother star didn’t reveal her birth name on the show. But she touched on her unusual upbringing, during which her mother hired a full-time bodyguard to stop her being a “wild child”.

Reflecting on her teenage years, Rhianna said: “I would meet people for the first time and they’d be like ‘Rhianna, by the way, there’s someone following you.’ Can you imagine trying to meet guys and then a bodyguard is with you?”

The so-called stay-at-home daughter is now hoping to win over the nation and take home the Big Brother crown. Living with strangers will also be a new experience for her. “I’ve never done that before,” she admitted before starting the show.

“I’ve never stayed in a hostel, gone to summer camp or boarding. I’ve never been in a situation where I have to stay the night with complete strangers and that is really exciting for me. I get to meet people that I most likely wouldn’t have met in my day-to-day life.”
