Celebrity Big Brother hit with hundreds of Ofcom complaints over Bradley Riches moment
Celebrity Big Brother received hundreds of complaints following Bradley Riches' abrupt eviction just days before the final.
The return of the popular Big Brother spin-off saw celebs such as Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne, Colson Smith, and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu enter the famous house, with Ibiza Weekender star David Potts winning the series.
In scenes aired before the final, Heartstopper actor Bradley was booted from CBB after receiving the least votes from the public in a moment that sparked 210 Ofcom complaints.
In the March 21 episode, each housemate received 60 seconds to meet with a loved one in the garden, but when Bradley went outside, he was met by host AJ Odudu who explained he was being evicted.

"I had the absolute best time," Bradley told Big Brother after saying goodbye to his fellow housemates. "I was scared to do it, and I've done it, and I'm so happy," he then said of his experience in the house.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain after his exit, Bradley revealed how he had to keep his eviction secret until it aired.
"I left on Wednesday night but it didn't air until Thursday so I didn't have a phone, nothing, only an iPad with Netflix on it. I was with a chaperone, like in lockdown, no phone, or anything," he said.

He continued: "I was expecting one of my family members or my friends or even my dog, but when I saw the heel come round the corner I knew something wasn't right as no one I know wears heels that big."
Following Bradley's eviction, Colson, Louis, David, Fern Britton, and Nikita Kuzmin went on to face the final public vote. Fern became the next housemate to be evicted, followed by Louis, Colson, and Nikita, before David was crowned the winner.
David said: "I really did not expect this at all. Thank you so much. I got a bus down from Bolton and thought I'd give it a whirl, and now I'm here."
Celebrity Big Brother is streaming on ITVX.
