Channel 5 has issued a statement following claims that the latest series of Big Brother was fixed.
Since the show concluded last Friday (August 15), some viewers have been complaining to the broadcaster that Helen Wood's victory could not possibly reflect the results of the public vote.
"Channel 5 has received inquiries from viewers about the most recent series of Big Brother," begins the response posted on the programme's official website today (August 22).
The statement goes on to highlight the multiple procedures put in place to independently verify phone and text votes on any given eviction night. It also highlights the individual housemate standings at various points on the day of the final.
"At 9.20am on August 15, the morning of the Final of Big Brother 2014... Ashleigh was 8,018 votes ahead of Helen," reveals the broadcaster.
"Helen was 9,789 votes ahead of Christopher, Christopher was 4,945 votes ahead of Ash, Ash was 8,730 votes ahead of Chris...

Jale Karaturp has become the fifth housemate to leave the Big Brother 2014 house.
Jale was pitted against Ashleigh Coyle as Emma Willis revealed the final nominees in danger, but was evicted after receiving the majority of the public vote.
"It's surreal!" she told Willis as she sat down for her post-eviction chat.
"It wasn't too bad though," she added. "I saw my mum, I saw my sister, I saw you (Willis)!"
When asked why she thought the viewers may have voted to send her home, Jale said she had been "a bit miserable" during the last week.
"I had a one week break (from being nominated) and I got a bit complacent," she explained.
The 33-year-old from Surrey said that her first few weeks in the house were "tough" and a "horrible time".
"To be honest though, in those kind of situations it's like a challenge for me," she continued.

We're about to get a male evictee! After bidding farewell to Tamara, Pauline and Toya, it's time for a man to pack their bags and walk out of the Big Brother house.
Thanks to Girl Power, three of the men have been saved from eviction (Steven Goode, Marlon Wallen and Chris Wright). That's all very well for them, but what it means is that Ash Harrison, Christopher Hall, Mark Byron, Matthew Davies and Winston Showan are the ones who'll be feeling a little bit nervous on Friday.

Look, I'm all for respecting the will of the British public. Sure, I'll mutter at some of the injustices done at Big Brother evictions (Orlaith beating Science in Big Brother 6 still stings) but I'll not make too much of a fuss. The only thing is that sometimes I can see what's going to happen and I just want to shout: "Stop!"
And it's like that this week. If the Digital Spy poll is any indication, Toya Washington is going to be saying hello to Emma Willis on Friday night. At the time of writing, she's polling at nearly 50% - quite an achievement when there are eight people facing the boot.
But when Emma reads out Toya's name, I'm going to be so disappointed. Don't get me wrong - I haven't always been a fan of her. If you'd told me last week that I'd be fighting for her to stay in,...

Six more housemates find themselves up for eviction in the Big Brother house, although hints suggest that more could soon join them on the block.
Danielle, Ash, Chris, Marlon, Kimberly, Steven and Winston were all initially announced as being up for eviction during a group meeting on Saturday night (June 21), but a twist soon emerged.
Big Brother: Housemates react to Pauline's eviction
Chris nodded knowingly with a frown on his face when he learned of his nomination, before flashing a smile to his fellow housemates.
Kimberly's nomination elicited audible gasps from her fellow housemates, as her grin quickly descended into obvious disappointment.

The Big Brother housemates are all gossiping about the relationship between Steven Goode and Kimberly Kisselovich.
Before she was evicted, Pauline Bennett advised Steven that he needed to "be careful of Kimberly", describing her as a "ninja".
She said: "Once she's ready to f**k you over, she will, as far as the game is concerned."
Steven replied: "She's got so many demons… she said to me she doesn't trust anybody, including family."
Danielle McMahon, Toya A Washington and Ashleigh Coyle were also discussing the potential love match in the house, with Danielle confessing she "didn't know they were that serious".
Toya said: "It's not my business. Me, I don't really give a s**t, but I actually think he's a nice guy and I think he could do better than her."
"I don't know her past relationships but I said, 'Is he your type? I wouldn't have thought that,...

Pauline Bennett has become the second person to leave the Big Brother 2014 house.
The 49-year-old was among five nominated housemates, but was evicted ahead of Steven Goode, Marlon Wallen, Ash Harrison and Christopher Hall after receiving over 79% of the public vote.
When Emma Willis asked her what went wrong in the house, Pauline admitted: "I was [just] myself and told the truth."
As Willis brought up her relationship with Jale, the dance teacher said that she "didn't do poor me, poor me, too well".
"You don't do it at all," the host replied.
After Willis suggested the booing public had found it hard to understand her problem with Jale, Pauline attempted to justify her behaviour by saying that the "one thing [she] can't stand is selfish people".
She also admitted she had no regrets about the way she treated both him and Chris.

The inmates have triumphed in the Big Brother prison-themed task.
While peeling potatoes in the garden, the group had six five-minute breaks in which to smuggle contraband items from the Large Task Room into the main house, without guards Mark Byron and Pauline Bennett realising.
During the first five-minute break, the prisoners managed to hide a giant chocolate bar and a foam football. In the second, they stashed some massage oil and a takeaway box out of sight.
Next, as Mark and Pauline patrolled the area - preventing the inmates from sleeping, lying down, arguing, shouting, swearing, flirting, hugging or kissing (as instructed by Big Brother) - the prisoners successfully smuggled a giant ice cream and giant lipstick into house.
The penultimate break required a giant boom box and giant doughnut to be hidden, before the final contraband hoard (including a tennis racket, protein bottle, giant dumbbells and giant fake tan bottle) was sneaked inside.

The new Big Brother Power Housemate is Toya A Washington.
The 29-year-old won the position after the housemates were each given the chance to nominate one person for the job - although Steven Goode, Ash Harrison, Marlon Wallen, Christopher Hall, Jale Karaturp and Pauline Bennett were exempt as they face eviction tonight.
Toya ended up winning nominations from Mark Byron, Pauline, Ashleigh Coyle and Helen Wood, which was enough to nab her the role.
Mark explained that he believed Toya will be "dead fair" and Pauline described her as "level-headed", while Ashleigh described her as "really fun and a good friend of mine" and Helen claimed she wouldn't "fanny around with decisions".
Toya's closest competition was Kimberly Kisselovich, who picked up nominations from Matthew Davies, Steven and Jale.
Matthew got two votes - from Winston and Christopher - while Ashleigh, Mark, Chris, Winston, Helen and Danielle each picked up one nomination.

Big Brother has set housemates a prison-themed task, with housemates divided into guards and inmates.
As part of the task, the prisoners are required to smuggle contraband items into the house without guards Mark Byron and Pauline Bennett realising.
The prisoners will be set the menial task of peeling potatoes in the garden, but will be given six five-minute breaks when they will be required to smuggle items from the Large Task Room into the main house.
To make things more difficult, the prison guards will have to enforce Big Brother's rules during the five-minute break. Prisoners are prohibited from sleeping or lying down, arguing, shouting, swearing and using rude language.
Smoking is also banned, and prisoners are not allowed to flirt, hug or kiss one another.
Mark and Pauline will then be informed that the housemates have hidden the items, and will be set the challenge of finding the prizes in one minute.

It's never nice to be the first person evicted from Big Brother, and that unlucky title was passed on to Tamara Stewart-Wood last Friday. The outspoken 24-year-old might not have had the chance to show us all she had to offer in the house, but she certainly wasn't holding back when we got her on the phone. Read on as she tells all about her fellow housemates...
1. She really does like Winston. Really.
"I do miss Winston. It's so weird - it's like lovers torn or something. It's just the weirdest experience, because normally you can just call someone or text them, and I can't. It did surprise me that he got emotional. I got all teary to my mum after it all and I just felt a little bit heartbroken and I thought, 'Why do I feel like this?' So it's nice to know that maybe he feels the same.

The Big Brother housemates have completed the Flirt Coach task.
Kimberly was called into the Diary Room and was told that she must teach three housemates how to flirt - as badly as possible.
She coached Marlon, Ash and Steven in some ridiculous flirting techniques, telling them that a romantic dinner was the prize for the housemate who was most successful.
Marlon decided to flirt with Helen and Ash selected Toya, while Steven tested his new techniques on Pauline.
Unbeknown to the student flirters, the other housemates were in on the task and pretended to fall for the tactics.
Big Brother decided that Steven was the best individual flirter, which meant that he and Pauline received a reward of afternoon tea, champagne and cakes.
As the other housemates managed to keep the task a secret from Marlon, Ash and Steven, they received three platters of penny sweets.

Unbeknown to the student flirters, the other housemates were in on the task and pretended to fall for the tactics.
Big Brother decided that Steven was the best individual flirter, which meant that he and Pauline received a reward of afternoon tea, champagne and cakes.
As the other housemates managed to keep the task a secret from Marlon, Ash and Steven, they received three platters of penny sweets.
Big Brother continues...

When we found out that new Big Brother housemate Pauline had a previous life as a popstar, we couldn't resist digging up her music video with Kylie Minogue for 'Shocked'. And boy, are we glad we did.
We're not going to pretend that Pauline - sorry, Jazzi P - is a massive part of the promo. You have to sit through a lot of scantily clad Kylie before you get to her (that may or may not be a good thing, depending on your taste). But when Pauline pops up behind a massive keyhole, we basically cheered.
The whole thing is so gloriously '90s that we're basically digging out our Walkmans, getting our Smash Hits stash out of the attic and waving our glow sticks in the air. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a spectacular performance from Top of the Pops.
If you're wondering why poor old...
