The UK reality show Big Brother has received hundreds of complaints to media regulator Ofcom, with viewers alleging racism and bullying involving contestants in the house. The volume of complaints has put the programme's handling of contestant behaviour back in the spotlight, renewing debate about duty of care and editing standards on the long-running reality format.
