The 23-year-old tried to teach her housemates a Scottish song on tonight’s show, but they struggled with her accent.

Kerry told her: “I’ll be honest with you, I don’t recognize a word you said.”
Hallie added, “Not the same, all I got were Donald’s pants.”
Pointing at Yinrun, Olivia blurted out, “If you didn’t understand me, she won’t have a clue what the hell I just said.”
Those watching at home were taken aback by her comment, with one person writing: “Ok – we’ll let that Olivia racism slide. Oh wait, she’s just Asian, never mind…”
Another added: “Did Olivia REALLY just say if you can’t understand me she definitely won’t (then keep pointing the finger at Yinrun!) my freaking jaw is still hanging open! Terrible girl! #racism #BigBrotherUK #getoliviaout.”
While a third added: “Olivia – racism doesn’t make you any less boring.”
And a fourth said: “Usual xenophobia from Olivia. Very on brand.”
Yinrun, 25, is originally from China but lives in Harrogate.
Earlier in the episode, she told Big Brother that she struggles a bit with the language barrier and feels like an ‘outsider’.
