Watch the moment Big Brother’s Ali finally confronts Marcello over vulgar comments in tense exchange
BIG Brother’s Ali was left locked in a VERY heated exchange with co-star Marcello as she called out his ‘inappropriate’ comments.
The star was left seething with Marcello as he made a series of sexual comments in front of the entire group as they were gathered around the sofas.
As he discussed his sexual habits and what he would be willing to get up to inside the walls of the famous ITV2 house, Ali told him to stop speaking about inappropriate things whilst they were all forced to sit in one place.
It comes after fans of the show were left fuming with Marcello as they called him out on social media.
It seemed no one in the house had appeared to address the comments until now but Ali has finally spoken out.
She demanded Marcello stop talking in graphic detail about the topic and insisted it could get her “struck off” from her psychologist job if she was seen to be listening in to a conversation about sexual habits.
It created a frosty atmosphere as the pair sparred back and forth as many of the other housemates looked around surprised at the sudden confrontation.
Later on, Marcello admitted he was “p***ed off” with Ali and decided to chat to her in the garden where Ali admitted she felt like she was being “told off”.
As part of the conversation, Marcello said: “What was that about over there?
“I’m having an honest conversation about a real thing in here and you’re silencing it and making it awkward and embarrassing for me.
“If you feel that way, pull me up after – that’s made to me!
Defensively, Ali remarked: “It’s mad to me that you think you have a right to pull me and tell me off.
“The way that you speak and the conversations that you start sometimes are vulgar and not everyone is going to enjoy them.”
As Marcello attempted to butt in, Ali quickly shot him down once again as she questioned if he really “had the right” to be having this confrontation with her.
She later added to him: “You were not having an adult, normal, sensible conversation… you were talking about all sorts of things in quite graphic detail that I did not want to listen too.
“Don’t subject people who don’t want to listen to it to those sorts of conversations.”
Marcello told her that she “had to let people speak” as it was not “reality” to control a conversations during their heated and seemingly unresolved argument.
Last week, Ofcom confirmed they had received a number of complaints from Big Brother viewers about Marcello’s words.
Viewers stayed true to their word and contacted the broadcasting watchdog shortly after calling for his eviction earlier this week.
Youth worker Marcello caused recent outrage with his comment about showers, when some of the girls said they planned to wash with wet wipes instead.
He bluntly refused to clean and said: “Men are supposed to be stinking” in a remark which understandably caused a stir online.
