Davina McCall has always been a woman after my own heart, no time more so than when she defended Big Brother housemate Coolio this week.

Coolio is being blasted from all sides for being a sexist bully, but show host Davina believes that people have the wrong idea about the rapper.

She said: “I don’t think he hates women at all. I think he has a great respect for certain types of women.

“He is judgmental about women, but Coolio is not alone in that.

“There are a lot of men in the world who think that if a woman wears a short skirt or wiggles her bum, or if she hangs out with a man, then that is inappropriate.”
