Many viewers have criticised Vinnie Jones on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother, saying that he has bullied his fellow housemates, Alex Reid in particular.

However, in an interview with The Daily Star Vinnie’s wife Tanya defended her man saying: “He isn’t a raving lunatic who loses his temper and attacks people without reason.

“It’s either because he’s been pushed too far, or it’s a prank that’s got out of hand. I’ve felt very sad in the past when he’s lost his temper, but he’s learning.

“He is a perfectionist and puts 100% effort into whatever he is doing. That’s how he succeeds. He is a complex man but I understand him. He wouldn’t dare lose his temper with me.”
