Coolio shed tears in the Big Brother house as he watched his country's new President being sworn into office.

The rapper had earlier displayed his admiration for Barack Obama by claiming that he would "jump in front of the bullet" if someone attempted to assassinate him.

Housemates heard that they would be allowed to watch the ceremony and gathered in the living area for the screening.

A visibly moved Coolio appeared to be tearful as President Obama's speech came to an end, declaring: "My next album, I know its title now."

Tommy told the American Big Brother contingent: "At long last, you've got something to be proud of", while Terry revealed his inner cynic by pointing out that the new President didn't "actually say what he was going to do".
