The TV watchdog received 252 complaints about Big Brother this weekend. The show airs after the 9pm watershed.
Last night’s episode featured housemates Marco Pierre White Jr and Laura Carter playing an elicit sex game where Marco was strangled with a belt.
The son of world famous chef Marco Pierre White told club hostess Carter to “Strangle me with this belt.”
When she objected: “I’m not going to strangle you on TV,” he answered: “Just strangle me on TV, there’s nothing wrong with it… Strangle me, get on top of me, you filthy c***… Whip me with it.”
Things got even more explicit when Marco lifted Carter’s top to lick her nipples as well as reaching into her shorts to touch her genitals.
White climbed into bed with Carter, where they were shown fooling around under the covers.
Fans are warned at the start of the show: “Be prepared for abusive and highly offensive language constantly throughout, explosive and aggressive confrontations and extremely risky sexual activity, all of which may distress some viewers.”
An Ofcom spokesman said: “We will assess these complaints before deciding whether to investigate or not.”
