Gary Busey has been telling his Celebrity Big Brother housemates that the ghost of Patrick Swayze "came through" him recently.

The US actor worked with the late Patrick on the film Point Break and has said he has been able to make contact with the spirit world since his heart stopped during brain surgery after a motorbike crash in 1988.

Gary told the rest of his famous housemates that the spirits of both Patrick and his father had passed through him in recent days.

He said: "He came through me the other day... Patrick Swayze's spirit came right through me... And my father's spirit came right through me. I've been to the other side, after my death after brain surgery... So I have a connection to that spiritual world.

"It's a divine connection. Nothing's bad unless you want it to be... You got to take it the way it is or you won't get it."

Housemate and fellow actor Leslie Jordan commented: "He has an amazing brain, it's probably his blessing and his curse, you don't know where he's headed."

Meanwhile, Lauren Goodger has been involved in a flirting triangle with Geordie Shore star Ricci Guarnaccio and Gogglebox's George Gilbey.

She had previously met Ricci on a night out in Newcastle and the pair wasted no time in getting close on the first night, with Lauren inviting Ricci to feel her "wet bum" as she complained about her clothes feeling damp.

But she then turned her attention to George, hugging him and giggling while she told him: "I'm so glad you're here."
