Coolio issued with language warning
Celebrity Big Brother producers have issued a warning to Coolio following his recent use of offensive language.

Show chiefs had previously refused to take action against the rapper after he used the term "n****r" in a conversation with Ben Adams at the weekend.

However, Channel 4 has now confirmed that the 45-year-old was reprimanded in a Diary Room conversation on Sunday night.

A spokesperson told The Mirror: "Big Brother called Coolio to the Diary Room to remind him about the rules regarding unacceptable language. Big Brother will continue to monitor the situation."

Meanwhile, a show insider told the Daily Record: "Coolio is testing the bosses' patience with some of his stories and bad language. The warning wasn't televised because that could inflame the situation more."
