Ulrika Jonsson saw off some romantic feelers from US rapper Coolio with style in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The Shooting Stars celebrity has had a rocky start to the programme, admitting she has "major" panics because "the days are so long", but kept her composure in a conversation with Gangsta's Paradise rapper Coolio.
After he asked her who she was she replied: "You can call me whatever you like as long as it's a nice name."
This appeared encouraging to Coolio, who checked to see whether he was married.
When she said yes he asked to see her ring. She revealed a little too much information, explaining that "it's the longest time I've had it on… when you're looking after a baby...".
Coolio showed some surprise that Ulrika has a baby before munching on a garlic clove, prompting Ulrika to say: "No kissing…"
The rapper's reply was polite and stand-offish – quite right too.
"I don't kiss married women as you don't know where their mouth has been," he said.
At least he won the group's affection by cooking a meal and was described as "hysterical" by Shameless actress Tina Malone.
Verne Troyer, Mini-Me from the Austin Powers films, has been bonding with his fellow American by teaching him about cockney rhyming slang.
"I did a hairy monk on her boat race down her Gregory," he told Coolio. No idea what that means, of course.
