MORE than 300 people have complained to the TV watchdog about scenes showing Charley and Gerry rowing about the word ?paedophile?. Regulatory body Ofcom was flooded with complaints from viewers after Charley said that Gerry liked to ?sleep with 15-year-olds?.
Gerry was outraged and said Charley was effectively calling him a paedophile.
Both were called into the Diary Room after the bust-up and Big Brother asked Charley if she understood why Gerry was offended.
She later apologised ? but insisted she did not know the age of consent was 16.
An Ofcom spokeswoman said: ?In the afternoon 320 people had made various complaints about the scenes.?
BB1 star Nasty Nick Bateman sparked fury in 2000 with his remarks about singer George Michael. He compared gay sex to paedophilia.

Then she goes out into the rest of the house crying to get sympathy. :tv:
