Celebrity Big Brother has been accused of double standards for failing to give “bullying” Coolio the boot.

Tears: Tina comforts Ulrika after a row with rapper over food rations

Media watchdog Ofcom is investigating the rapper's intimidating behaviour after complaints.
Last night he had a screaming match with Tina Malone in which he told her to shut her “big-ass mouth” and made Ulrika cry in a row about food rations.

He has already left evicted Lucy Pinder in tears by ranting about girl-on-girl violence and made Michelle Heaton cry by joking that she fancies Ben Adams.

An Ofcom spokesman said: “We've had complaints and will investigate.”

I think they will be forced to, and if they don't Ofcom might force channel 4 to axe Big Brother altogether, but for now we'll all have to wait and see

I think Ulrika is a lady and is the only responsible and most intelligent person in the house, I also like Terry and think the two of them should have a task together and Im sure they will see that they like each others company.

They won't evict him. If they do he'll play the race card.Yawn.

I dont know if I would call it bullying??? but he is very annoying and grating on everyone's nerves and this in its self must be very wearing on everybody's tender feelings at this time.

But I think it is about how they are dealing with it, La Toya, Tommy, Terry, Vern and even Ben ignore him and he realises he can't get a 'rise' out of them but the others are more vulnerable and I think their being so unsettled is concentrating far too much on his very childish, boorish behaviour.

I think it was a big mistake of Ulrika's to go into the house with 4 young children at home, of course it was going to be extremely difficult for her to cope without them.

I think the lure of money has overshaded the obvious affects of being away from her family for so long.
