Vinnie Jones on brink of walking out of Celebrity Big Brother house

The footballer-turned-Hollywood-star complained some of his housemates were "tabloid celebrities" as he showed the strain of being cooped up yesterday.
Jones is thought to be the highest paid celebrity on this year's final Channel 4 show - receiving £350,000 to take part - and bookies have made him favourite to win.
But the former Wimbledon star's wantaway talk began when he was asked what present he would like for his 45th birthday, which he celebrated in the house.
"A red card straight from here would do me," he told Jordan's ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers.
He also said in the Diary Room: "I don't fancy doing three weeks. I keep eyeing up those walls to see how high they are."
Later Jones criticised his housemates, saying: "I don't really know any of them ... and some are trying a bit hard in here."
When Bowers asked Jones if he had heard of the movie Condemned, he said: "I was in it, you nutter."
Actress Stephanie Beacham revealed she considered leaving Big Brother producers in the lurch at the last minute.
In a chat with housemates, the former Dynasty star confessed she still had not decided if she would definitely take part in the show as her car drove her up to the screaming crowd on Sunday night.
Beecham, 62, said: "The fact that all those people had come out to see me ... at that point I didn't actually know if I was going to do it."
Jordan's on-off boyfriend Alex Reid irritated some female housemates by walking around topless.
The cagefighter and aspiring actor showed off his heavily built physique while cleaning up.
Ronnie Wood's ex-flame Ekaterina Ivanova told DJ Basshunter, "I don't find it attractive", while rapper Lady Sovereign added that next time she did any cleaning she would take off her top too.
Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood also claimed yesterday that he had been asked to enter the CBB house.
The rap aficionado has now asked his fans whether he should go on the show.
He wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Just been asked to go on CBB! Should I ask for time off from the radio?"
