Celebrity Big Brother producers have denied rumours that they've had to hide kitchen knives because of worries over the mental health of one of the housemates.

Contestants had been complaining of being "scared" and "awkward" when around model Jasmine Lennard.

Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has confirmed they've received 10 complaints.

They are mainly accusing Jasmine of bullying housemates.

Big Brother producers say all celebrities are put through a psychological evaluation before and after their time in the house.

In a statement bosses said: "All of the kitchen knives remain in the house and have been placed in the kitchen drawers or on the kitchen island work-top."
