Big Brother viewers all have the exact same demand after Marcello Spooks made an incredibly 'gross' comment about his housemate, Ali Bromley.
The latest season of the infamous reality TV show has been a drama-filled one indeed, with Joey Essex's random appearance, a shocking major twist, and an avalanche of complaints following the first episode on Sunday (6 October).
And the most recent buzz from ITV viewers is all about Marcello and his totally out-of-pocket comment.

Now, following the launch over the weekend, we saw the housemates get separated into two groups.
The 34-year-old youth mentor/rapper, who hails from East London, ended up with the non-housemates.
During the challenge, the two groups had to decide who out of the others they'd go up against.
This is where it all went south.
Ali, a 38-year-old forensic psychologist also from London, was one of the people Marcello would be up against, prompting him to make an extremely 'misogynistic' comment about her.
Speaking about Ali, Marcello said: "My type. Probably going to lips it."
Viewers have since rushed to social media to call out Marcello following his remarks, especially after Ali shared she is 'unashamedly a late-in-life lesbian' and has been dating her girlfriend for five months.
Many defended Ali from Marcello's offensive comments, with some even calling for him to get evicted from the TV show altogether.
One X user piped up: "MARCELLO BACK OFF!"
"No I wanted Marcello to stay in storage longer, the way he talks about women is gross," penned a second.
A third chimed in: "Just say you don’t respect women. Imagine referring to women in 2024 as it stating you wanna 'lips' them.
"Like bro ever heard of consent? Marcello is a misogynist!"
Another quoted him writing: "'Probably gonna lips it'. Get this man out."
"Lool what a loser imma need somebody to bruise that small man's ego," hit out a fifth.
And a final X user added: "Save Ali from all these men OMG."
Marcello previously revealed exactly what he'd do with the £100,000 prize, confessing: "I would treat my mum and my grandma."
He explained: "They’ve been there for me through thick and thin and have always supported me.
"I would love to take them away, look after them. After that, I’d love to create some security for myself."
Big Brother airs every night except Saturday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm and is followed by Big Brother: Late and Live at 10pm.
