Petition calls for Big Brother to be AXED from TV after violent scenes

Security had to step in to break up an aggressive fight

A petition has been started after Big Brother descended into chaos on Sunday night’s show.

The Change.org petition wants the reality TV series to be “immediately banned from TV” by Ofcom.

Security had to step in when Lotan Carter and Isabelle Warburton got into an argument.

Big Brother had plied them all with alcohol AND asked them to describe each other’s personality traits.

It was clearly going to ruffle a few feathers.

The petition states: “Every year this prime time TV show is fronted by unacceptable violence, language, sexual exploitation, and scenes of unacceptable behaviour suitable for television viewing.

“Year upon year there are scenes of violence, past episodes of racial harassment, unacceptable behaviour and this is condoned by TV producers all in effort to gain viewing figures.”

As events unfolded on screen, we saw the game didn’t last too long as Lotan threw his drink in a fit of rage, and it also hit Hannah.

She and sister Deborah tried to attack him, and Lotan’s mate Ellie tried to attack them!

Asked to go to the diary room to calm down, he sat and vented about Isabelle and then came back out to the housemates.

But he wasn’t finished. He became so angry and aggressive that he was then removed from the house.

Big Brother said: “Lotan has been removed from the Big Brother house and will not be returning. The events leading up to this will be shown on tonight’s [Sunday’s] Big Brother at 10pm on Channel 5.”

Producers then warned the rest of the housemates that they will all be facing eviction after their “unacceptable behaviour”.

Tut tut.

Viewers couldn’t believe what they were seeing, calling the show “vile”.

One even seems to think that the show might be “cut short”.

A third said: “Honestly, this big brother is a disgrace. The house is full of social justice warriors and rife with mad feminism! So sad. #bbuk”.
