OFCOM has ruled that this years Celebrity Big Brother did not breach broadcasting rules despite hundreds of complaints about rapper Coolio.
Most of the complaints related to his sexist and allegedly bullying behaviour, however OFCOM said that Coolio was the “villain of the piece” for many but that “such a role, after 10 years of Big Brother, is generally expected by the audience”.

It’s been a helluva night folks, hasn’t it? I’ve just come back to my hotel room from the Celebrity Big Brother final and press conference.
Let me say first, that the highlight of the entire night was Jack Whitehall on Big Brother’s Big Mouth. Okay, as one journalist next to me remarked, he was swearing much more than usual, probably on account of the final night adrenaline. But that whirlwind performance and minor bitchfight between Tina Malone and Michelle Heaton was priceless. (I heard later on that Michelle broke down in tears during the commercial break and none of her housemates comforted her – a member of the audience did instead.)

Tonight’s Celebrity Big brother final has been a night of surprises!
First Verne leaves in fourth place after he was hotly tipped to win, and then Coolio got the news that he had finished in third place. Coolio received 25.3% of the votes
Coolio will be leaving the house in about thirty minutes and he looked thoroughly shell shocked at the prospect.
Winning the show tonight will be Ulrika Jonsson or Terry Christian, who will you be voting for?

Coolio and Ulrika Jonsson are both up for eviction on tomorrow night’s live Celebrity Big Brother show.
The American rapper got three votes while Shooting Stars panellist Jonsson received four.
It’s going to be a big battle with the pair being two of the biggest characters in the house. I imagine Ulrika will be the one to go, simply because the house would be a boring place for us viewers if Coolio wasn’t around.
Who will you be voting out? Leave you comments below.

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.

Terry Christian and Coolio have become thick as thieves in the Celebrity Big brother house, especially now that they have discovered neither of them are up for eviction this week.

Last night the pair sat in the garden ashtray and bitched about the lack of food in the house and about those who drew up this weeks shopping list.
“It was almost like nobody had done any fucking shopping for five years,” Terry complained.
He remembered the housemates shouting over one another:
“I want this, I want that, and you are thinking like ‘great, but don’t complain when everything runs out’. I can’t believe we didn’t get cooking oil, I can’t believe we didn’t get margarine instead of butter. Everyone is flinging ingredients, left, right and centre.”
