Big Brother was hit with more Ofcom complaints relating to claims Tom was 'bullying' Yinrun.
Earlier this month, the series saw more than 1,000 complaints of unfair treatment as viewers expressed their worries over the "disgusting" behaviour of Jenkin and Tom towards their housemate Yinrun. And previously, viewers saw Trish call Paul out for being a bully.
ITV was slammed with several bullying rows and furious fans claimed Tom had a "vendetta" against Yinrun. He thought Yinrun was "playing a game" and acting like a child to win over viewers and their housemates. He claimed those comments were made while being "cooped up" in the spare room with nothing to do all day.
In the last week, Ofcom received a further 68 complaints regarding Big Brother - which saw Jordan walk out as the winner.
Big Brother received several more complaints (ITV)Viewers were shocked when they witnessed Jenking 'bullying' Yinrun when he told friends Tom and Olivia how he refused to share his birthday cake with her. He told them: "You know when you sung Happy birthday to me? She got a me a knife to cut everyone a piece of cake and I went 'That's where you're mistaken'."

Tom laughed and said: "That would go in the bin before you shared it right?" while Olivia agreed with a 'Yep'. At the time, viewers rushed to social media to slam Jenkin's behaviour. One viewer wrote: "Jenkin is definitely a nasty Bully Get him out Of the Big Brother House #BBUK Making Trish & Yinrun Cry."
"Where is the clip where Jenkin told Yinrun she can’t have any cake. Why are the producers protecting this bully," another concerned user posted. Another bullying row saw Paul get called out for his behaviour. When Yinrun passed Big Brother's secret mission and was rewarded with a party, she was only able to choose six people.
Paul among others were left out. Taking it upon himself to ruin her party as he wasn't invited, he started to throw balls of cling film and then turned his attention towards Noky, calling her weird. At one point he asked her what she was staring at and went on to say: "You’re strange, you just stare at me and don’t say a word. Weird."
Trish then returned to the party, and Noky filled her in on the bitter interaction. In a bid to stand up for her pal and housemate, Trish hit out at Paul and said: "You are a bully." Paul then asks her "Why am I a bully?" And Trish told him: "You know why you’re a bully, don’t act stupid."
Paul was forced to acknowledge his treatment towards Noky and Trish and said: "So you know? So you know who you’ve been bullying? You are a bully." This harsh interaction generated 97 complaints after Big Brother's live feed was pulled due to the explosive row.
