Ofcom top 10 includes complaints of contestants’ bullying, and Gary Busey’s behaviour in celebrity version of Channel 5 show
Hit show Big Brother was the most complained about show of the year, according to figures from communications watchdog Ofcom.
It received 3,784 complaints about the reality show, which is broadcast on Channel 5, with another 1,874 about its sister show Celebrity Big Brother.
Many of the complaints about the main show centred on the behaviour of its eventual winner, Helen Wood, who was accused of bullying other contestants.
Wood, who achieved a measure of notoriety when she reportedly had an affair with England footballer Wayne Rooney, admitted she had been “out of order” on several occasions in the house but said she was only defending herself.
Viewers also complained to Ofcom about the antics of Hollywood star Gary Busey in the celebrity version of Big Brother.
The eccentric actor – like Wood – clashed with other contestants on his way to winning the show.

This year being no different.
Some real deluded and nasty housemates this year and less said about the winner the better
And looking at the way they are conducting the auditions for 2015, looks like its going to be mostly same again next year
And as viewing figures decline the nutters gain a louder voicet,ever eager to complain to an organisation who couldn't give a toss about their inane grizzling.

Nothing at all was worth complaining about this year. This is why we get watered down, TV for the dumb, because people complain over the silliest of things.
And yes I did watch the same BB as you all before some smart-ass pipes up.
People have gradually lost faith in them.
BB15 was an awful series though, but rather than complain, I just took long breaks from it.
Probably a lot of complaints are from over-involved fools hoping to get the housemates they don't like thrown out.

I thought so too. Haven't watched it for two years but last time I did, I complained.
Happy Christmas to you too, you old grump ;-):p
And everyone else ... cantankerous or not.
Hope you & your family have a lovely Christmas.......with lots of cheese.......& things.
For every million people watching 100 people might complain (ok , the figures aren't exactly correct but you know what I mean)
The fact the people complain about BB is brilliant! It should be a controversial show, if I were a producer of BB I'd be celebrating this news. The problem is BB producers take these complaints too seriously and focus on the minority which leaves us with a safe series again and again.
Hi BB boards, it's good to be back, can't wait for the next series, looking forward to thrashing it out with you all
Merry Christmas
