Ofcom received 79 complaints about Celebrity Big Brother's Marnie Simpson after she was shown exposing herself in front of fellow housemate Saira Khan.

The Geordie Shore regular, 24, was dared to flash her breasts and give a fake apology to the Loose Women panellist by Heavy D, Lewis Bloor and Stephen Bear.

Simpson pulled down her top and gyrated her breasts as she told Khan: "I just feel that it's because I have better t*** than you."

An Ofcom spokesperson said: "We have received 86 complaints about Celebrity Big Brother over the weekend.

“We will assess these complaints before deciding whether to investigate or not."

Viewers were left outraged by Simpson’s “vile” behaviour with some calling for her to be removed from the Channel 5 show.

James Whale was disgusted and told Simpson that her antics were "completely unnecessary".

"She does not deserve that- stop it," he told Simpson before adding to Khan: "That could make me really angry but I won't let it. However I will tell you Saira, you won't have to deal with that again I can assure you."

The incident came hours after Khan had accused Simpson of acting differently when she drinks alcohol following a heated confrontation with the Geordie Shore star, Heavy D and Bear.

Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm.
