Coolio tells Verne: Don't escape, think of the cash

Celebrity big brother favourite Verne troyer today confided that he wants to leave the house. The Mini-Me actor told rapper Coolio he'd had enough as they stayed up talking until the early hours. But Coolio tried to dissuade him, saying if he leaves he won't get paid. The pair tried to keep their conversation quiet by covering up their microphones but it was still audible.

Sex boasts: Troyer on show last night

Troyer said: "I don't give a s**t right now. i've found a route. I just need your help." Coolio replied: "You can't go man, if you walk out you don't get paid. I know why I came in, I came for the money." troyer then admitted: "Me too."

Coolio reminded him that he was getting paid "in pounds", which are worth more than dollars.

Reality shows are known to attract celebrities who need to breathe life into tired careers, but the conversation proved the housemates are in it for what they can get. Earlier in the evening Troyer had been on top form, chatting up topless model Lucy Pinder, while boasting about his sexual prowess, saying he could "make every girl here very happy".

He added to Pinder: "Damn you've got some pretty eyes. I feel like licking those eyes."
