Viewers have accused Celebrity Big Brother of racism after contestant Stacy Francis was chosen to be “edited” out of the show.
The decision was made by the all star contestants, made up of Calum Best, Spencer and Heidi Pratt, James Jordan, Jasmine Waltz, Austin Armacost, Nicola McLean and Coleen Nolan.
The former housemates were chosen as the show’s “producers” and were given the choice to steal a new contestant’s limelight, “editing” them out of the show.

With many new stars entering the house, such as Kim Kardashian’s sex tape co-star Ray J, Calum’s mum Angie Best and also his former flame Bianca Gascoigne, the all stars chose Stacy to wear the beige tracksuit and so be “edited” out of the show.
Many viewers were upset by this choice and thought that the decision was racist.
Celebrity Big Brother never fails with their racist antics! I mean I don’t like Stacy but they are pure shit for this, its gross #CBB

Nah but the way Stacy was edited out was wrong. Feel sorry for her. But I feel this is strategic as black woman = angry black woman. ? #cbb

Did they just pick Stacy cos she’s a black woman? Because there’s no way she’s less interesting than the dullard footballer? #CBB

I’d leave tbf. Using Stacy as some puppet for the “angry black woman” act. Disgraceful #cbb
