Michael Madsen accuses Gareth of bullying

Michael Madsen has accused fellow 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant Gareth Thomas of bullying him after he was branded ''a pig'' by the sportsman.

Michael Madsen has branded his 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemate Gareth Thomas "a bully".

The 'Reservoir Dogs' actor grew tired of receiving jibes from the Welshman and blasted him for his conduct after the former rugby star called him a "pig".

Michael said: "You keep saying it over and over, calling me a pig. that's what made me mad. And that was being a bully, man. You're a bully."

Gareth insisted he meant no offence and laughed off Michael's comments.

He walked away from the confrontation and said: "I like your style. In fact, I love your style."

Meanwhile, Michael also hit out at Nicola McLean over her previous treatment of Natasha Giggs.

He said the glamour model was "out of line" for condemning Natasha over her affair with brother-in-law Ryan Giggs before they entered the house.

The actor said: "What gave you the notion that you are the judge of what's moral and what's not? Why would you take it personally as your mission to say that to her.

"I have this vision of you and her going apes**t at each other."

Nicola responded, saying: "I don't think sleeping with your brother-in-law is very moral."

'Celebrity Big Brother' continues on Channel 5, with the first live eviction - between either Andrew Stone or Georgia Salpa - taking place tonight (11.01.12).
