Closer’s CBB columnist Nicola McLean: ‘Chloe was crying crocodile tears and Ken should’ve been removed too!’

Well, well, well – what an episode of Celebrity Big Brother that was last night! As I sit and write this I'm in two minds: do I write what people will want me to, or do I say what I think and run the risk of being unpopular (again)? Well, you know me, I have to say what I think…

Things did indeed kick off! Jeremy Jackson left his housemate Chloe Goodman in a fit of tears, after exposing her breast while she attempted to help him in the bathroom.

After 'mixing rum and vodka' and getting drunk, former Baywatch star Jeremy ended up in the toilet throwing up so Chloe went to help him. She ended up running out of the bathroom in floods of tears, her voice jumped with emotion as she told her housemates: 'I was helping him and he literally just (opened) my dressing gown top and took my boob out.'

Firstly, what he did was an absolute liberty and not at all acceptable. But I think Chloe played the whole thing very well and clearly Jeremy is very vulnerable and having a hard time.

I'm not convinced he should have been in the house to begin with, so if anyone deserved to be cut some slack it was him. Chloe's tears seemed a bit like crocodile tears to me. I think the whole incident was poor judgement and may have ruined Jeremy's career and life, to be honest.

He won't be the first man to have lurched at a girl's boob when drunk but I'm sure it will be the last time he ever does it. He seemed mortified and was in tears as he apologised in the diary room.

With regards to Chloe, I totally get that you're in the moment and it all seems really bad and I'm not saying it's not bad, but at the time it feels worse. When I was in the house I really felt Denise should have been removed for pulling down Karissa's pants. Karissa felt as violated as Chloe but because it was a man who did it to Chloe, it was different? I'm not happy!

She's glad Nadia was there to help the situation

It was done to Karissa on camera and Denise's inability to admit she was out of order is what lead to the mother of all rows in our house.

Chloe cried and said, "I know that I've done page three". Nadia jumped in to defend her by saying that it didn't matter at all and that was her choice to do page three, but it not someone else's choice to expose her body for her…

Deja vu for me – I tried to argue why it wasn't OK for Denise to expose the bare bottom of one of the Playboy twins! Nonetheless, Nadia is amazing. What a great, level-headed women she is: helping Chloe while telling Cami to calm down. I love her and I wish she had been one of my housemates. Every girl needs an amazing buddy like Nadia.

Do you think Ken should have been removed?

Perez is completely over the top, claiming he wasn't safe in the house with Jeremy! Thank goodness for Michelle and her calm and collected nature. Everything she said to Perez was right and I liked that she tried her hardest to explain what a damaged man Jeremy is.

There is no excuse for Ken's behaviour, he is the worst type of person - he is racist, sexist and genuinely a vile man. The things he said to Alexander were vile and he was very lucky that Alexander didn't make a formal complaint.

Ken didn't apologise and tried to make terrible excuses for his choice of words and continued to make another racist insult. It takes a lot to upset me and I was disgusted by Ken. I really think he should have been removed from the house instead of Jeremy.

This year's show is amazing, I love it and I can't wait for tonight! X
