Viewers complain about Marcus, Sree row

Ofcom has received almost 300 complaints about Big Brother in the past week.

The majority of the criticism was from viewers who were unhappy about the row between Marcus and Sree, according to The Guardian.

During the argument, which was the subject of over 200 complaints, Marcus allegedly threatened the student union president. He was later given a formal warning by Big Brother.

Ofcom is currently deciding whether or not to investigate the complaints.

A Big Brother spokeswoman told the newspaper: "Big Brother intervened and took immediate and appropriate action relating to the action between Sree and Marcus.

"Marcus received a formal warning following his use of threatening language during his argument with Sree. Threatening language and behaviour is not acceptable in the Big Brother house.

"Big Brother monitors the welfare, language and behaviour of housemates at all times and will continue to monitor this situation."
