Big Brother contestant Omar (El Mayer) is reported to have received more than 22,000 complaints to UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom, making him the most complained-about contestant “of all time” according to multiple outlets. The complaints are described as relating to his conduct toward fellow contestant Rhianna Collins.
Several reports specify that the behaviour is framed by complainants as “controlling and coercive,” and that he is criticised in connection with an on-off relationship. One outlet also adds that ITV has spoken to him or addressed the issue inside the house, and that the complaints arrive within days of the live final.
Across the coverage, outlets largely agree on the headline numbers and the nature of the complaints, but they differ in emphasis—some foreground the “most complained” record, while others highlight the timing relative to the final and the actions taken by ITV.
