THE broadcasting watchdog has rejected nearly 5,000 complaints about alleged bullying and voting problems on the last series of Big Brother.
Most of the complaints received by Ofcom related to concerns that aggressive and intimidating behaviour by housemates was not dealt with appropriately by Channel 4.
Ofcom ruled the broadcaster had responded appropriately in dealing with the issue, but said it should be seen to deal with conflict on the programme quickly in future.
Alexandra De-Gale, known on the show as Alex, was thrown out of the house last June after making comments to other housemates which both Channel 4 and Ofcom said could be seen as threatening.
