Lucy accuses BB of Coolio cover-up

Lucy Pinder has claimed that Big Brother has covered up some of Coolio's most inappropriate behaviour.

Racist language, comments about rape, and threatening behaviour by the rapper have been cut from the show by BB bosses, reports the Daily Star.

Since entering the house, the rapper has allegedly said the "N-word" several times and told of violent sex, bragging that he has never raped a woman "because I never had to". The ousted housemate said: "I think the public should know what he is really like. A lot is not being shown. I'd only been there 48 hours and he came out and told me, 'I've never raped a woman... I’ve never had to'."

A Channel 4 spokesman said that housemates' behaviour is watched at all times, and also denied claims made by Pinder that she has been warned off speaking about Coolio.

Lucy said: "Every time I have done a live interview I have tried to slip it in about how bad he actually is. But they cut me off. On Big Brother's Little Brother I managed to say a bit about him. But the host George Lamb had the producers in his ear telling him to move me on."
