Celebrity Big Brother bosses give Rodrigo Alves a formal warning for using the N word but stand by decision to NOT remove him
CELEBRITY Big Brother bosses have given Rodrigo Alves a formal warning for using the N word - but are standing by their decision not to evict him.
Fans have called for him to be removed for using the offensive language - just like 2007 housemate Emily Parr.

Their decision to just give him a formal warning has come underfire from viewers, who believe he should be expelled.
But when asked by The Sun why he wasn't removed Channel 5 told us: "Big Brother does not condone or tolerate the use of any kind of racist or offensive language in the Big Brother house.
"Rodrigo has received a formal and final warning and if such language is used again in the house, he will be removed immediately. Rodrigo has apologised for his comment"
We have also contacted Ofcom about the matter.

It all started when the 35-year-old human Ken Doll stunned viewers when he casually dropped the offensive word into conversation as he chatted up Dan Osborne.
He sat on a bed with Gabby Allen, Natalie Nunn and Chloe Ayline when he quizzed Dan, 27, about his love life.
Rodrigo asked Dan: "Are you married? The girls want to know, not me, you're not my type anyway. No for God's sake.
He added: "I like a n**** boy, he's too white for my sake. I like a n**** boy."

Dan looked taken aback, but nobody mentioned what he had said and the episode moved on to the housemates getting ready to go to sleep.
The next day, Rodrigo explained to Big Brother in the diary room that he was drunk and he was let off with a final warning.
People at home were shocked that Rodrigo was allowed to stay in the house at all and demanded Channel 5 bosses kick him out.
