907 people took to the regulator to complain about the Tuesday, November 21, instalment of I'm A Celeb.

Of that huge total, 861 weren't happy with Nella Rose's argument with Fred Siriex.

The following day, 898 fans watching at home weren't happy with what aired and also went to the regulator.

856 of those were in relation to the alleged racial offence of Nella's comments towards Nigel Farage.

But they aren't the only complaints that ITV has received during the show's airtime.

It comes shortly after the broadcast network was hit with another 1,000 after signing controversial politician Farage.

Campaign group Best for Britain called on people to boycott the programme, insisting their choice to cast him is is "not good for our country".

Meanwhile I'm A Celeb fans also raged over Ant and Dec mocking Sunderland.

Some haven't been impressed after the Geordie duo made a number of digs about right-wing politics.

After three episodes, 103 fans have vented their frustration to the broadcasting regulator.

Newcastle-natives Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly took a stance in the Tyne–Wear derby football rivalry, comparing the "barren, hostile" outback to Sunderland, just seconds into the series premiere.

They've also mocked the viewership of conservative news channel GB News, on which Nigel has his own programme, regularly giving shoutouts to "Keith and Linda".

Fans also joked about complaining to Ofcom after.
