Tears in Celeb Big Brother house

Celebrity Big Brother - Teasing leads to tears

Katia Ivanova, the former girlfriend of Rolling Stones star Ron Wood, was reduced to tears after Swedish DJ Jonas Altberg told her that the only reason she was on the show was because of her relationship with the musician.

Read our 'Celebrity Big Brother' blog.

The upset began when cage fighter Alex Reid said: "So Kat, I've been having a little think about your situation. I'm just thinking, you know what could guarantee you staying in? What do you reckon? Just think how popular it would be?"

Ivanova, who is up for eviction this week, then asked: "What are you talking about?"

Reid said: "Just think, romance on a celebrity TV show, you could win it. You could be the new Peter [Andre] and Katie [Price]."

Ivanova said: "I don't want to be Katie and Peter" to which Reid replied "You'd be Kat and Jonas then."

She said: "I don't want to be Kat and Jonas. I want to be Kat."

Reid replied: "Yeah, but you can't deny those feelings you had in the first place. That initial attraction."

Altberg, who carries a torch for Ivanova, then said: "Well you are in here because of a public relationship."

The 21-year-old then left the room in tears.

Former footballer Vinnie Jones then reprimanded Reid for his line of questioning and added: "Jonas put the nail in the coffin."
