BIG Brother fans have branded Marcello a ‘pig’ after they claim he made Sarah ‘uncomfortable’ with a ‘sexualised’ comment.
The drama unfolded on social media in reaction to a scene in tonight’s episode of the hit ITV2 show.
Sarah was complimenting Marcello as he worked in the kitchen as part of the shopping task.
“You are so funny Marcello, when I first met you, you are not someone that I would think I would get on with so well,” Sarah told him.
Looking taken aback, he replied: “I’m a nice person.”
“I know you are, but on first impression…” she added.
“Everyone always judges me,” Marcello responded.
Sarah went on to explain: “Yeah because you sound like the way you sound, the accent, the city, the way you dress, you are just someone that in public I probably wouldn’t gravitate towards because I would be a bit intimidated.”
Marcello then flirtily shot back: “Oh honey, I would gravitate towards you, don’t worry about that.
While Hanah, who was watching on, screamed at his comment, Sarah looked unimpressed and said: “Please don’t”
Realising he had crossed a line, Marcello apologised.
“I’m sorry he said, making a heart shape with his hands. “I’m joking.”
But viewers were not happy, and took to X to slate him.
One fumed: “Sarah being nice to Marcello and him immediately using it as an opportunity to flirt, made me uncomfortable.”
Another raged: “Marcello is a pig clearly just made Sarah uncomfortable with his unwanted comments and advances.”
A third ranted: “Oh F*** OFF Sarah just opened up to Marcello and just like normal he SEXUALISES? Does this man just sexualise EVERY WOMAN HE SEES? Can’t wait for what he will say to AJ during his evicted interview.”
A fourth chimed: “Sarah literally just saying how marcello is nice and marcello immediately being a f***ing creep oh my god can he leave?”
A fifth weighed in: “Sarah should report Marcello to HR for making inappropriate sexual comments.”
And a sixth simply warned: “Marcello walk away from sarah rn.”
Big Brother continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
