After last night’s episode, viewers picked up on the fact that Tiffany was “being bullied” after an argument with John and they even suggested that one of his remarks about food was “racist”.
The former EastEnders star said: “[Tiffany] only wants to come to talk to us now cos she’s hungry and wants some chicken.”
Tiffany refused to apologise for her misunderstanding and insisted in the Diary Room that she wouldn’t be leaving the house.

“Viewers also alleged racial offence at John Partridge’s reference to her wanting to return to the house, ‘She only wants to come to talk to us now coz she’s hungry and wants some chicken’ and that this pandered to an offensive racial stereotype,” they continued.
A spokesperson also added: “We will assess these complaints before deciding whether to investigate or not.”
Speaking about her fellow housemates in the Diary Room post-argument, an adament Tiffany revealed: “They will have to get me evicted, I’m not just going to walk off, I’m not a quitter! I didn’t do anything.”
