Stacey Solomon's BBC show Sort Your Life Out series has sparked more than a thousand animal cruelty complaints.
It comes after a recent episode saw the Loose Women panellist proposing moving a family's pet rabbit into a hutch outside. The beloved pets usually live in a large conservatory but Stacey, 33, suggested the rabbits be moved to a hutch.
At the time it aired, viewers took to social media to hit out at Stacey and claimed to move the animals outside was "animal cruelty", the Mirror reports.

Figures revealed this week show Sort Your Life Out received the highest number of complaints of all BBC shows between January 30 and February 12. Around 1,502 complaints were made by viewers.
The Rabbit Welfare Association and Trust also posted a link and encouraged viewers to file a complaint. At the time, they wrote: "Before we comment any more, we want to make it clear that we think that this is the production company's responsibility, not the presenter, and we won't allow any comments against Stacey Solomon.
"The production company should have done their research."
They added: "We have contacted the Production company for a response. With regards to the ridiculous response from the BBC to ours, and everyone else's complaint, you can follow this up via the same link on their website with the previous complaint case number to hand."
Viewers took to Twitter to complain, as Beth said: "Love love @StaceySolomon but so disappointed that Sort Your Life Out has shown rabbits being moved from a nice spacious indoor run to a cramped outdoor hutch, hutches are absolutely not enough".
Rayanne said: "Enjoyed this tonight until the rabbits were kicked into the garden. That hutch is too small for anything other than a bolt hole! There's enough bad rabbit rearing without this encouragement #SortYourLifeOut".
A BBC spokesperson responded to the backlash and said the rabbits "usually live outside" and were only placed inside for a short period of time. They said: "The rabbits have full access to a wide, enclosed garden to roam around in, with the hutch being a place to come and go as they please during the day, as well as a safe and secure space for them to sleep in at night.
Stacey's new BBC series Sort Your Life Out follows the Loose Women panellist and her expert team as they organise some of the most cluttered homes in Britain.
