ITV Celebrity Big Brother hit with complaints as viewers fume 'so annoying'

viewers expressed their frustration just minutes into the latest episode. Tuesday's instalment saw presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best return to screens for the second live eviction of the series. EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, 52, Coronation Street actor Jack P. Shephard, 37, and TV host Trisha Goddard, 67, are the three stars facing eviction after they were nominated by their fellow housemates.

Just moments after the ITV show kicked off, viewers complained about the live studio audience constantly laughing while AJ, 37, and Will, 40, were presenting. Taking to X, one wrote: "Anyone else get mad annoyed at the forced laughter from the audience?" Another echoed: "Is someone forcing the audience to over react in laughter at these awful jokes?"

A third chimed in: "Are they using a canned laughter track...?"

Someone else asked: "Why is everyone laughing when nothing is funny?"

It comes after Michael Fabricant, 74, became the first celebrity to leave the big brother house. Last week, the Conservative MP found himself up against controversial actor Mickey Rourke and Jack.

After being booted out, his fellow celebrities. "I'm very sad to say goodbye to all my friends. They were lovely people," he told the presenters.

Just two days later, it was announced that due to "unacceptable" behaviour.

A spokesperson for the ITV show said: "Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour."

The star, 72, had previously been slapped with just days into the show.

Housemates were shocked as they heard Mickey tell his co-star JoJo Siwa that she "won't be gay anymore" if she stays in the Big Brother house for more than four days.

Speaking to Chris Hughes, the former boxer added: "I'm going to vote the lesbian out real quick." He went on to joke "I'm not talking about you" to JoJo after saying he "needed a fag" in the smoking area.
