Media regulator Ofcom said on Monday morning it had received 13 complaints which it would assess before deciding whether to launch an investigation.
Not to long after Angie exited the dairy room with fellow housemates John and David. Tiffany Pollard noticed that Anqie didn’t seem so well. Angie confided in Tiffany saying that David had died. Tiffany is automatically under the impression that fellow housemate David has passed. What follows next is a surge of emotion from confusion, confrontation and anger from all the housemates as it’s all a great misunderstand. Housemates come to the conclusion that they want Tiffany to leave. As a result of the built frustration and past events in the house Jonathon Cheban decides it time to depart from the show. This makes him the first celebrity of this series to quit. Tiffany Later apologises to Angie although the environment in the house is still quite hostile for her.
