Supposedly Ofcom is considering an investigation after receiving 800 complaints !! Hopefully it won't waste any time or money in doing such a thing.

I still cannot get over the fact people are speaking about this like it's a current event, this all happened 3 months ago

"Hundreds complain to the Beeb (yes, seriously)"
..The Sun puts on it's front page.

I do wonder sometimes. Spotted the Sun on a newsstand the other day, and their full page headline was, paraphrasing 'small girl swears on the Internet'.

I'm with discoduck on this one. He should have kicked off big style. Maybe some blowtorch on tent action. Instead he politely throws it away. Wuss.

But that was just the editing, she didn't actually do anything wrong, that's the issue.

Did anyone on the show say anything about it being Gangsta Granny's fault, no, that was just what you were lead to believe.

Just looked to find it and I can't, so I might have to retract that statement. Could've sworn it was the Sun. It was only like yesterday or the day before.

EDIT: may have been the Birmingham Mail rather than a national. Ignore me.

Ah, so someone else left the bearded one's ice cream out. Who was it? Name and shame.

The issue takes up the whole of the 3rd page of the Guardian, complete with analysis by Ruby Tandoh. It is pretty clear the bearded one does blame the granny for wrecking his ice cream, even if she didn't do it deliberately.

PS: Also find it surprising that during the hottest period of this year, they couldn't supply some extra cooling to the tent, especially when the contestants are making ice-cream.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS

The real problem was that the BBC failed to give them the right kit to do the job on the day... The Frezers were all virtually empty so when they were opened multiple time (as people were shareing frezers) they lost all their cooled air.

BBC cover up by editing old lady as scape goat.

There has to be some seriously bad news being leaked under radar on a day like today.
