Alexander O’Neal has been given a formal warning for using a homophobic slur on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
In an argument with Perez Hilton, the R & B singer can be heard telling the gossip blogger he has a "silly arse f****t look on your face".
Issuing him with a formal warning, Big Brother said: "As a result of your use of this offensive language, Big Brother is giving you a formal warning.
"If you use this kind of language again, Big Brother may have no choice but to remove you from the house."
Speaking to Big Brother in the diary room, Alexander later apologised for his actions but admitted that he had no remorse to begin with.
He said: "Before when I was angry, I had no remorse. And now I feel a little differently about that – I shouldn’t have said that. Period."
The 61-year-old singer also shared his views on the 36-year-old blogger.
He added: "I don’t feel comfortable in any corner of this house. Now I’m being taunted.
"I don’t think I’ve met another human being as pathetic as this person. He’s just really dog s**t on the bottom of anybody’s shoe. Pathetic."
The argument also upset fellow contestant, Katie Hopkins, who told Perez he was "disgusting".
She said: "You’ve really got to me this time because you’ve upset the big man. Nobody messes with the big guy, not you.
"You carry on sashaying that pathetic little arse of yours. You are disgusting and you utterly disgust me. Screw you."
Later in the diary room, she explained how the situation was "upsetting" for her.
She added: "But watching somebody taunt a man is upsetting. He just stuck his tongue between that rabbit’s ears to taunt Alexander.
"In the end, he’s gonna push him too far."
