Privacy NoticeITV’s new police-based sitcom, Piglets, has sparked outrage among viewers, leading to hundreds of complaints to Ofcom. The show, which debuted over the weekend, was criticised for its title and content, with some viewers finding it disrespectful towards the police force. I n total, Piglets received a whopping 253 complaints from disgruntled viewers. According to Ofcom, “complaints alleged that the programme’s title and content were disrespectful to the police force.” Piglets follows the journey of six rookie cops and their trainers. The six-part series stars Sarah Parish and Mark Heap as tough Superintendent Julie Spry and less serious Superintendent Bob Weekes, who are in charge of training the new recruits. However, the show faced controversy even before it aired.

Tiffany Lynch, Acting National Chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, criticised the show’s name as “inflammatory against a landscape of rising threats and violence against officers” and accused it of putting officers “at further risk for viewing numbers”. However, Love Island was another ITV show to face public disapproval this week from Tuesday 16 July to Monday 22 July 2024. The reality dating series found itself in hot water once more due to the conduct of contestants Joey Essex and Sean Stone, reports Wales Online.

Tension flared on the island as Joey and Sean continually stirred up drama involving Mimii and Ayo’s relationship. Viewers saw Ayo recouple with Jess after leaving Mimii at the notorious Casa Amor twist. In a further development, Mimii later chose Josh as her new partner. Notwithstanding these changes, Sean and Joey persistently claimed that Ayo and Mimii were keen to revive their former relationship. A climate of discord pervaded the villa during the public voting challenge ‘The Grafties’, where the boys’ behaviour led to multiple squabbles with other cast members. In total, 106 viewers lodged complaints about Love Island, condemning “Joey and Sean’s behaviour towards some of their fellow contestants.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
