The Star
CELEBRITY Big Brother was plunged into a race row last night as Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag attacked Italian Frankie Dettori.
The American couple turned on the jockey for not being British during a fierce argument.
And at one point, burly Spencer, 29, his face contorted in rage, screamed at him: âGo back to Italy!â
He also made a snide comment about Frankieâs closeness to gay X Factor star Rylan Clark, 24, and accused him of being mentally unbalanced.
US couple Speidi â former stars of MTV reality show The Hills â went on the offensive in the early hours yesterday.
They were taking part in a silent disco task, wearing headphones and dancing to the Village People hit Macho Man.
But the pair overheard Frankie, 42, talking about how he was still shaken by last Fridayâs âfight nightââ when Speidi made a shock return to the house.
The jockey added: âIâm still a little bit scared of them. Iâm still affected by that big argument.â
Speidi hit the roof and claimed they were the ones who felt scared as ex-footballer Neil âRazorâ Ruddock, 44, was warned over his aggressive behaviour.
Angry Spencer then turned on Frankie for being Italian and added: âIt would be one thing if he was British â but he isnât.
âHeâs so far up Rylanâs bum because he thinks heâs going to win.â
Commenting on the fact Frankie was given the role of house âdictatorâ in this weekâs shopping task, Heidi, 26, bitched: âHeâs not a dictator. He is a dick-tator.â
Last night a spokesman for the British-Italian Society said: âThis is discrim- ination. Itâs offensive and rude.â
A Channel 5 spokesman said Speidi had been reprimanded by Big Brother for the racist remark and warned about their future conduct.
