Producers fail to catch the moment, sparking homophobia row
ITV has launched an investigation into the reality TV show Big Brother after a contestant used an offensive slur during a live stream. The incident occurred between 11pm and 2am on October 16, when housemates were preparing to go to bed and decided to play a prank on another contestant, Kerry. In her frustration with the prank, Kerry used an offensive slur, which was broadcasted without being caught by producers.
Viewers express outrage at the comment
The offensive comment made by Kerry did not go unnoticed by viewers, who expressed their outrage on social media. One viewer said, "Another slip of the mask," while another hoped that Kerry would face consequences for her words. Many viewers were shocked that such an outdated and offensive expression was used on TV, especially given the context of the conversation.
Kerry's previous controversies in the Big Brother house
This is not the first time Kerry has caused controversy during her time on the show. Earlier in the week, she complained to her housemates about being in a higher tax bracket due to her earnings. This sparked a debate among the contestants, with one contestant expressing their frustration that Kerry was complaining about her earnings while they were struggling to find work and surviving on monthly benefit payments.
Big Brother has been approached for comment on the incident.
