The audience at the BBC's television election debate has been slammed as "biased" after an anti-Brexit attack received a huge round of applause.

Angry social media users shared their outrage online and demanded Ofcom take action.

During the debate, Stephen Flynn from the SNP claimed Brexit has increased food prices and proved "an unmitigated disaster for the economy".

The audience - which was selected by independent pollsters Savanta - responded by erupting into applause.
