Celebrity Big Brother fans ‘flood Ofcom with calls’ over ‘cruel’ eviction that crushed Bradley Riches’ hopes
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have rushed to contact the broadcasting regulator after Bradley Riches’ “cruel” eviction.
The actor, 22, was banished from the ITV show via the back door in a shock eviction last night.
Heartstopper star Bradley‘s impromptu exit – which has seen him miss out on the final by a matter of days – has now sparked a flurry of Ofcom complaints from upset fans.
One took to X to post: “Hellooooo Ofcom! AJ Odudu x Bradley.”
A second put: “Yall gonna wake up to so much Ofcom complaints tomorrow.”
A third then put: “I need to talk with the people of Ofcom because that eviction was brutal.”
Yet one then retorted: “All you youngsters coming out saying Bradley’s eviction was cruel, my goodness, let’s go back to the Channel 4 series! You’d be phoning Ofcom every night.”
Cruel blow
Bradley’s exit came as some of the cast received sweet messages from home.
Yet instead, he was treated to a visit from one of the Celebrity Big Brother hosts.
After he was told the sad news by host Aj Odudu, AJ then informed the star: “Bradley, your stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house is over, you must return to the house, say your goodbyes and leave immediately.
“Good luck.”
