Movie star Sylvester Stallone has finally spoken about his mother and ex-wife's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother and has describe the show as a "nightmare".
According to the Daily Mirror today, Sly said his mum, Jackie, was "crazy" and her new found friendship with Brigitte Nielsen a pretence. The 58-year-old actor was so horrified by the programme that he couldn't bear to watch a tape of it.
Jackie, who was the first to be voted off, claims to be 71 but a friend said she was actually 84. Sources in the US also revealed she carries a fake driving licence which shows she was born in 1939 - making her 65.
But Sylvester shouldn't be too upset - his mother's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother has boosted Silvester's movie sales in the UK by around 300 per cent.
