Luisa Zissman has criticised Big Brother’s handling of the ongoing dispute between Omar and Rhianna, arguing that ITV may be placing ratings before contestants’ welfare
The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate said broadcasting emotionally vulnerable moments could expose both participants to intense public scrutiny after leaving the programme
Luisa and podcast co-host Anna Williamson supported calls for the pair to receive private welfare meetings, following more than 7,000 Ofcom complaints about Omar’s alleged controlling behaviour
Women’s Aid has also urged producers to intervene.
