Keith Chegwin is no longer in touch with the other contestants he starred with in 'Celebrity Big Brother'. The 58-year-old presenter was part of the series earlier this year which saw Perez Hilton go to war with Katie Hopkins and have bust-ups with Calum Best, Michelle Visage and Kavana among others. Jeremy Jackson was also thrown out for inappropriate behaviour towards glamour model Chloe Goodman and Ken Morley booted out for offensive language. Keith was hoping to stay in touch with the contestants he did get on well with but he's not shocked everyone has gone their own ways due to the relentless...

It's no longer The Perez Show following the showbiz blogger's departure in last night's (February 4) double eviction on Celebrity Big Brother.
"Precocious," "horrific" and a "complete cretin" were just a handful of names Perez Hilton was called throughout the series, and while we'd probably agree with most, we'd also argue that he's been one of the most entertaining housemates in the history of CBB.
As Emma Willis remarked (once Perez had stopped prattling on about sleeping pills and self-medicating), he's had our brain in a spin for the last four weeks and has provided a host of watercooler moments - for good and for bad.
Plus, we'll really miss the angry way he dramatically pronounced Katie Hopkins.
Here's the showbiz blogger's most melodramatic moments on the show below:
1."Did you apologise to the woman whose husband you f**ked?!"
Perez Hilton unashamedly stepped back on his soapbox as he dramatically...

Cami Li compared Perez Hilton to "'80s porn - bad, but you can't take your eyes off it" following her shock eviction from last night's Celebrity Big Brother (February 2).
The Miami model was nominated alongside Keith Chegwin, Perez Hilton and Katie Price in the show's shock twist which saw her leave the house on Monday night..
Cami Li also criticised former housemate Nadia Sawalha for being "consumed by Perez's energy", and was cynical as to whether the Loose Women panelist had still liked the showbiz blogger towards the end of her time in the house.
Speaking to Digital Spy and others about her sudden exit, she revealed: "It was expected. I thought I was going to be next to go. We all know Perez's arse ain't going."
On whether she was surprised that the public had kept her in for so long, she joked: "Yeah, They're a tortured bunch.

Katie Hopkins and Perez Hilton took their tumultuous relationship to new levels of unrestraint as a tongue-waggling Perez chased a terrified Katie around the house on Celebrity Big Brother last night (January 28).
Perez dramatically re-entered the house after living in a secret abode following his staged walkout, and "he's sweating horribly," was the first thing Katie H was finally able to muster.
But before long, he was trying to lick and kiss her face as she brushed him off and dubbed him a "rodent" and the pictures of the pair were priceless.
He offered a ceasefire, but alas, Kaite H would not relent.

Celebrity Big Brother evictee Patsy Kensit has joked that she thought she'd never be able to leave the house.
Patsy, who was evicted last night, told reporters today that the number of celebrities quitting and being removed from the house made the experience strange.
"The thing that was psychologically testing in there was we only saw two people walk up those stairs and out the door - so many people got thrown out or walked," she said. "So at one point I did actually say to Nadia [Sawalha], 'I've missed a clause in the contract. We're never getting out. We're not going to be released'."
She also commented on Ken Morley, who was removed from the house, saying: "[His behaviour] was really inappropriate, wasn't it? I mean, I told him where to go quite a few times. I wasn't going to take any of his stuff and I certainly wasn't going to let...

Celebrity Big Brother star Alexander O'Neal has explained his decision to offer Chloe Goodman advice about changing in the bedroom.
Speaking to reporters this afternoon, Alexander explained that he wanted Chloe to "reconsider" her behaviour because he thought of her as a daughter - particularly after the incident which led to Jeremy Jackson's removal from the house.
"I wanted to try to get Chloe to see that there were two sides to the incident that happened," he said. "There's behaviour in the house that we call in America very, very brazen. Which means that you're exposing too much of your personal self. You might want to reconsider how you present yourself in other people's eyes.

Awards season kicked off properly this week, with the Oscar nominations and Golden Globe Awards (and Critics' Choice Awards).
Boyhood and The Grand Budapest Hotel were named the best films by the Globes judges and both picked up nods from the Academy a few days later.
'Dick Poop' got a surprise nomination at the Oscars, but incredibly The Lego Movie, Ava DuVernay, Mica Levi, David Oyelowo and Jake Gyllenhaal were all snubbed.
"You can create this stuff, George, but you sure can't direct it"
George Lucas didn't pick up an Academy nomination (or much love from the fans) when he directed the three Star Wars prequels.

"I deal with drag queens on a daily basis. Perez Hilton is more of a diva than 20 drag queens all in one room." Michelle Visage summed up Perez Hilton to perfection on last night's Celebrity Big Brother (January 14).
You've definitely got to hand it to Perez. The over-zealous showbiz blogger has the ability to turn almost every single incident in the Celebrity Big Brother house into something All about Him.
And once you learn to take his "me, me, me, me" attitude (and most of what he says) with a pinch of salt, it can become rather amusing and entertaining to watch.
Here are a few of his most attention-seeking antics so far below, enjoy!
It's all about you... No, I mean me
From the moment he stepped into the Big Brother house, he was interrogating every single housemate for more personal - and at times - unsavoury details after clearly stalking researching each star.

Katie Hopkins put Perez Hilton in his place on tonight's Celebrity Big Brother (January 14) after refusing to respond to his royal demands.
The showbiz blogger had been picked by Cami Li - crowned by Big Brother as Queen of the Fairies and thus making her immune from this week's eviction - to be her rightful King, a role which he appears to be taking a tad too seriously.
Before long, Perez declared: "I have been given authority to make my subjects do anything I want. Later today at some point, I ask you, Katie Hopkins, to paint my fingernails."
"What if I don't?" Katie barked back.
Perez replied that refusal was not an option, which prompted Katie to snap back: "No isn't an option? But what if you asked me to suck your n**?"
He insisted he would never ask the outspoken star to do that, before announcing to fellow housemates: "Great,...

The news was revealed by host Emma Willis tonight (January 13) in a live twist, taking the place of the eviction cancelled in the wake of Ken Morley's removal from the house.
Big Brother informed the gathered housemates that their futures in the house would be determined by a game played live, with the group told that one of them would face eviction as a result.
Playing first, Nadia was deemed safe and asked to select the photograph of which fellow celebrity she would like to save.
Choosing Patsy Kensit, the former Emmerdale star picked Perez Hilton who in turn saved Alexander O'Neal. The singer picked Callum Best, while he saved Michelle Visage. The game continued as Michelle selected Katie Hopkins, who chose Kavana who opted to save Alicia Douvall.

Alicia Douvall has caused a furore in the Celebrity Big Brother house by stealing two bananas and hiding them under her bed.
In scenes airing tonight (January 13), the former glamour model was chatting to fellow celebrity housemates Katie Hopkins and Cami Li about her youngest daughter's strict dietary routine. She told the pair that she doesn't give her 3-year-old meat unless she requests it, and won't allow her to eat sugar either.
When Cami enquired about what happens when she is invited to a birthday party, Alicia replied that she refuses to allow her to go unless the parents specifically cater for her daughter's diet.
This prompted Katie to tell Alicia that she avoids "weirdo mums" and wouldn't be inviting her child to any of her own children's parties.

Ken Morley has defended his remarks on Celebrity Big Brother in his first interview since being ejected from the show.
The former Coronation Street actor was removed from the house after making several offensive racist and sexist remarks during his stay.
Appearing on ITV's Loose Women today (January 13), Morley insisted that his use of the word "n***o" when recalling a story with Frank Bruno was not offensive, as the boxer found it funny at the time.
Explaining the use of the same word during a discussion with Alexander O'Neal, Morley said: "With Alexander, we were discussing terminology in the Americans, and I said Martin Luther King used a word to define what a black man was in America in the '60s. The American army now used that word. It is outdated, granted."
When pushed for an apology from the Loose Women panellists, he said: "Oh yes, of course I'm sorry.

Explaining the use of the same word during a discussion with Alexander O'Neal, Morley said: "With Alexander, we were discussing terminology in the Americans, and I said Martin Luther King used a word to define what a black man was in America in the '60s. The American army now used that word. It is outdated, granted."
When pushed for an apology from the Loose Women panellists, he said: "Oh yes, of course I'm sorry.

Ken Morley was removed from Celebrity Big Brother last night (January 12) after repeating a racist term during an anecdote about former boxer Frank Bruno.
The former soap star recalled how Bruno used to play his music loudly back in the '90s when they had adjoining dressing rooms.
He told Keith Chegwin that he complained by putting on a posh accent and saying: "Hello, Lord Fauntleroy here - turn down your n***o rhythms."
Morley had already used the word towards Alexander O'Neal, who in turn told the ex-Coronation Street actor never to use that language again, especially in the presence of a black person.
However, he continued to use another racially-insensitive term minutes later, prompting Alexander to warn him again.
At the time, Morley was given a formal warning by Big Brother in the Diary Room, and was also chided for inappropriate comments made about female housemates.

Jeremy Jackson has accepted a police caution for common assault following an incident with Chloe Goodman on Celebrity Big Brother.
The former Baywatch star was removed from the house on Saturday, after an altercation took place between him and the 21-year-old model when she entered the bathroom to help him after he was sick.
Local police were contacted by viewers who were concerned by the incident, with a spokesman for Hertfordshire Police saying yesterday (Monday, January 12): "We were made aware of an alleged incident that took place in the Big Brother house in Borehamwood in the early hours of Saturday, January 10.
"We are currently working with the programme's producers as part of our enquiries. It would be inappropriate to comment any further at this time."

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nadia Sawalha lost her cool with Ken Morley prior to his departure.
The actress and presenter confronted Ken over his controversial remarks about female housemates, and threatened to call the police about his behaviour.
Wanting to get Ken's side of the story, Nadia approached him to ask whether he felt he had done anything wrong in the house. He replied by saying that the group have been brought together for "psychological warfare".
Continuing the conversation in the garden, Ken said of his remarks: "What is wrong with a man looking at the best-looking arses in the world?"
Infuriated by his comments, Nadia said that she felt like calling the police over his actions, so that he would be removed from the house.
During a later conversation with Perez Hilton, Nadia admitted that she would usually walk away from the situation, but felt she needed to hear his version of events.

Perez Hilton has told Ken Morley that he would "feel afraid" for his safety if he were in the former soap star's shoes.
Airing on tonight's Celebrity Big Brother (January 12), the showbiz blogger was referring to offensive comments made by Ken in the house, for which he had already received a formal verbal warning.
CBB 2015: Was Ken Morley the most repugnant housemate of all time?
Perez was then called into the Diary Room and reprimanded for his comments, with Big Brother telling him they could be perceived as threatening and potentially offensive.
Ken has since been removed from Celebrity Big Brother after using offensive language again following his aforementioned formal warning.
Channel 5 has also confirmed that Tuesday night's (January 13) eviction has been cancelled and that the lines are now closed.
Former Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson was previously ejected from the house over the weekend following an incident concerning Chloe Goodman.

Ken Morley has been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house and frankly, it's something of a relief.
The former Coronation Street actor - who almost makes Nigel Farage look liberal and former CBB star John McCririck the voice of reason - might well have been the most offensive and unrepentantly repugnant celebrity to ever set foot in the Elstree compound.
Ken's behaviour on Saturday night's programme turned the stomach from start to finish. He responded to Perez Hilton's "good morning" with "I hope you washed those fingers" before declaring: "I don't really want a shower but I do realise it's the best place to look at other women's arses... So I'll just wander over" - language which would later get him into big trouble with Big Brother.

Celebrity Big Brother's housemates could be facing yet another row after tensions between Katie Hopkins and Alicia Douvall began to bubble yesterday.
Michelle Visage told Katie that she thought it was "going to be bad" when she first saw her - until she realised that Katie "takes the piss out of everything".
But Katie revealed that she is getting tired of Alicia, joking: "Alicia has got a 'stop being so thick' bomb coming her way!"
Michelle defended Alicia to an extent by suggesting that some people "can't help it".
However, it soon became clear that Alicia is no big fan of Katie as she said in the Diary Room that while she likes her, she can see them falling out in the future.
Alicia added that Katie feels "superior" to everyone and underestimates her fellow housemates.

Well, this series of Celebrity Big Brother has certainly been rocky so far. Even today, when we thought things might be settling down a bit, Ken Morley went and got himself booted out for being unable to keep his mouth shut, instead choosing to let the racist terms, anti-semitic epithets and misogynistic comments flow free. He might have moaned about political correctness, but he might want to pay a bit more attention to it in the future, eh?
But Ken wasn't the only one shovelling out controversy over the weekend. Nope, Jeremy Jackson got kicked out after an incident in which he opened Chloe Goodman's dressing gown. Now, we've seen a few - okay, hundreds - of comments about this particular moment of the series, and we're feeling a little bit depressed.

Perez Hilton was brought to tears after being confronted about his aggressive questioning in the latest Celebrity Big Brother task.
In the challenge, Ken Morley was instructed to read out a 'fairytale' concerning the other housemates, before Michelle Visage had to guess which celebrity each statement was about.
After it was revealed that Katie Hopkins's husband was married to someone else when they first slept together, Perez asked if she now thinks this was wrong.
When Katie replied that she doesn't consider it to be a problem because she wasn't married herself, Perez continued to argue with her - prompting Keith Chegwin to tell him to shut up.
When Perez went on to grill Ken over an exchange he had with Chloe Goodman - who admitted that she was once a bottom double for Cameron Diaz - Katie stepped in to tell Perez to end the questioning, leaving the showbiz blogger in tears.

The Celebrity Big Brother housemates have voiced their annoyance with Ken Morley.
The former Coronation Street actor received a warning for using racially-insensitive language on yesterday's show (January 10).

Discussing the 71-year-old, Patsy Kensit suggested that the British public will want to keep Ken in the house, but insisted that his comments were "totally inappropriate" to women.
Michelle Visage told Big Brother that Ken was "completely out of line", describing how he walked over to her "in his droopy white knickers" and asked if she would "violently f**k" Calum Best.

Big Brother then asked her who she felt was the least attractive person in the house.
The 39-year-old gave three names: Patsy Kensit, who she described as "a manic, nervous goon", Perez Hilton, who she said "needs to work on toning his body up and toning his voice down", and former Coronation Street actor Ken Morley, who according to Katie has developed a "portly stature" with age.

First to enter was Katie, who was given a special mission as the first celebrity in the house.
Katie was told that she had to pass judgement on each of her fellow housemates throughout the night, before choosing the two least-entertaining people at the end of the show.
Next in was actress Patsy Kensit, who was under the impression that she was the first celeb to arrive. She was soon joined by celebrity blogger Perez.
Ken Morley, known for his role in Coronation Street, was next through the doors of the celebrity residence, as Katie Hopkins joked from behind the Enchanted Mirror that he had escaped his care home.
Joining the party next was Cami Li, before Calum Best...

We have our housemates! 14 stupid brave celebrities walked through the doors of the Celebrity Big Brother compound tonight to face a twisted fairytale like no other.
But who are these courageous souls who have shunned spa days and champers for a dirty bath and chickpeas? And do you know any of them? Well, we've got all the details of the gang, so read on for everything you need to know...
Alexander O'Neal
Age: 61
Give me the basics. Alexander is an American R&B singer probably best known for his hit 'Criticise', which reached number four in the UK charts in 1987.
Why is he going in the house? For one thing, he likes "challenges", apparently. Also, he loves us Brits: "Britain pretty much told the rest of the world who Alexander O'Neal was before anybody really knew." (He speaks about himself in the third person quite regularly, it seems.) Also: "It's a test for me,...

22:58Ooh, a snippet of live footage. Perez is speaking to Katie, which is presumably straining her ability to be nice. Although they are talking about her (and her horrible fat-shaming show) so maybe not...

William Roache was the subject of a ''witch hunt'', according to his 'Coronation Street' co-stars. The 81-year-old actor was cleared of all charges in court yesterday (06.02.14) after standing trial for historic sexual abuse charges - including four counts of indecent assault and two rapes against girls under the age of 16 between 1965 and 1971 - and past Weatherfield stars have blasted prosecutors for wasting public money on the ''nonsense'' trial.
