Alexander O'Neal subsequently warned Ken about using such language when talking to other people who might be offended.

Ken was called into the Diary Room by Big Brother, given a formal warning for his language and chided for inappropriate comments made about female housemates.


The actor was also told that if he used such offensive language again, Big Brother "may have no choice but to remove him".

Ken had previously caused drama in the house in tonight's (January 10) episode by joking that Cami Li looked "half-Peruvian, half-wh*re".

He also claimed to only be going into the bathroom that morning so he could look at "young ladies' bottoms".

Nadia Sawalha confronted him about it after Perez Hilton also raised the issue, with Ken claiming that he was making offensive comments in order to get evicted quickly.

Tonight's episode also saw Jeremy Jackson removed from the house.
