Big Brother star Adam Kelly has been made the house 'drill sergeant' and will be allowed to punish anyone he believes is being lazy.

The former gang member emerged from the Diary Room this afternoon dressed in a military costume after Big Brother instructed him to lead the group in a massive clean-up of the compound.



He was also told that he can command housemates who slack off or give him backchat during the task to do 20 push-ups.

The scrub-down will end when Adam deems the house to be in a good enough condition and the contestants will receive post-eviction drinks and music if Big Brother is satisfied with their work.

It emerged earlier today that Big Brother viewers complained to Ofcom after seeing Caroline Wharram brand Adam "a gorilla" in last night's show, believing this to be a racial slur.

The pair had clashed over a task in which Adam pushed the ex-boarding school pupil on a roundabout as she tried to eat three jars of sweets.
