The Big Brother housemates have been accused of wasting food after viewers complained about the numerous food fights that have taken place in the house.

Tasks such as the baguette eating challenge, which resulted in Kat vomited after munching on part of a five foot brie and grape baguette, have been met with much disgust from scornful audiences.

Bex’s constant instigations of food fights, as well as Darnell’s demands that the hell housemates cook him food even when he’s not hungry, has prompted a spokeswoman to comment on the situation.

She tells The Sun: “We have had 20 complaints from members of the public about food wastage. The housemates are now aware that they must be more careful.

“They are responsible for the purchase and preparation of their food and meals, and BB provides recycling for waste.

“For the last week housemates have been on a basic shopping budget of a £1 per person a day. Any waste of food will result in them going hungry.”
