Coolio 'does not dislike Michelle'

Coolio has told Michelle that he does not dislike her and is only winding her up as part of the Big Brother game.

"Never at any time did I feel a dislike to you," the rapper explained.

"I think you're cool, I think you're a nice person. I was winding you up because it's a competition and I saw that it bothered you - because it's a game."

Big Brother had previously spoken to Coolio in the Diary Room about his teasing of Michelle.

On today's Big Brother's Little Brother, Michelle's former Liberty X bandmate Kelli Young said that the singer was often quite tearful when the group was on tour.

Young added: "She is a really emotional person. She has a little cry, but she does get over things and she doesn't hold grudges."
