Tensions rise in 'Celebrity Big Brother' house

Tempers flared in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house after Lady Sovereign took a tin of corned beef from the contestants' meagre food rations.

Former footballer and Hollywood hardman Vinnie Jones lashed out at Dane Bowers and Nicola Tappenden, insisting that because they had gone against his wishes and allowed the rapper to help herself to the food supplies they would be in charge of meals until Sunday.

In a heated discussion in the living room, he told them: "You two and Sov do the dinners, that's fair. You think there's enough so you do it."

Earlier Jones had turned on Alex Reid, telling him his hoped-for acting career was doomed in Hollywood because of his current reputation.

Jones, star of 'Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels', tried to persuade the cage fighter, who is dating glamour model Katie Price, to admit he is not really a cross-dresser.

Jones told Reid, who has previously appeared in Channel 4 soap 'Hollyoaks': "No one's going to want to work with you right now - if you offered me $5m (€3.44m) to be in a movie with you, I wouldn't take it."
