It received a further 50 linked to “alleged bullying behaviour by Paul towards Noky and Trish” on that night too.
Oliva, Tom, Jenkin and Chanelle’s behaviour towards Trish and Noky garnered 50 complaints as well.
The complaints came after Paul, Tom and Olivia had been causing trouble in the house as they thought about keeping housemates up at night to cause friction.
Paul has since been evicted from the house and his family were made to meet Noky’s relatives after the bullying claims emerged.
When he left the ITV show, he was met with a flurry of jeers from the live audience.
Noky has claimed Paul was targeting her in the compound during a tearful Diary Room chat with Big Brother.
ITV has been contacted for comment on the complaints by Express.co.uk.
Big Brother airs nightly at 9pm on ITV and ITX (except Saturdays).
