Big Brother contestant Alexandra De-Gale has been warned about "abusive behaviour" and "bullying" other housemates after a row over food.

Alexandra, 23, from south London, was warned of "serious consequences" for any future "intimidating behaviour".

Viewers saw the contestant swear at her fellow housemates after one of them - Rebecca Shiner - burnt some chips.

Housemates Mario Marconi, Stephanie McMichael, Lisa Appleton and Luke Marsden face the public vote on Friday.

After the chips were burnt, accounts executive Alexandra argued with Rebecca and Jennifer Clark, who stood up for their fellow housemate.

When housemate Stephanie McMichael also stood up for Rebecca, Alexandra swore at her, and later called her "simple".

In the diary room, Big Brother told Alexandra that if fellow housemates felt "threatened or intimidated" or if viewers could be offended by "inappropriate, offensive or intimidating behaviour", action would be taken.
