Heavy D’s most colourful moments from explosive CBB spats to Judge Rinder appearance

Heavy D made his mark on the entertainment spheres with his bubbly personality and tongue in cheek humour.

Celebrity Big Brother’s Heavy D – real name Colin Newell – died aged 43, his friend has confirmed.

The larger than life reality star passed away this week after “going missing” for a fortnight, Mirror Online understands.

He rocketed to fame and garnered a legion of fans after starring as a buyer on UK’s Storage Hunters.

Heavy D – who even described himself as the “loveable rogue” – knew he had a huge impact on the Celebrity Big Brother house after entering the reality TV world.

He always felt his part to play was to “spice up” the house as Heavy D admitted to winding up other people.

After his eviction in 2016, he said: “It was all in good taste. It was boring otherwise. I just wanted to bring a bit of spice to the house, spice it up.

“I’m a loveable rogue. It was getting boring so I wound up a few people.

“At first everyone was trying to find their feet so it was war but when things calmed down it was sweet.”

The self-confessed ‘Boominator’ certainly had a commanding presence during his reality TV stint.

Heavy D was incredibly surprised when he was booted off Celebrity Big Brother in 2016.

He was the fourth celebrity to be eliminated from the competition after losing the public vote to Renee Graziano, Lewis Bloor and Stephen Bear.

Taken back, Heavy D had every confidence he was going to win the reality series.

He told Emma Willis: “It was a shock. I was confident I would win it.”

Judge Rinder appearance over landlord dispute

Heavy D surprised fans with his appearance on Judge Rinder in 2018.

His landlord Stephen claimed £5,000 over damages caused to his property where the reality star had lived.

In 2017, he had sold photographs of his rental property in Enfield in disarray to a newspaper for £200 – a fee he gave to Great Ormond Street.

But the TV personality was counter suing for £8,000 because he felt his landlord had cost him his earnings with a backlash of negative press leading to cancellation of bookings.

Judge Rinder grilled Heavy D on why he couldn’t afford to pay two months rent with his celebrity status.

However, Heavy D revealed work had dried up when he had emerged from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

He said: “I came out of Big Brother. I thought there was going to be loads of work. My agent couldn’t get me any work and the work just dried up.”

Judge Rinder ruled Heavy D had to pay his landlord £5,000.

The TV judge also agreed the landlord had a right to sell his side of the story.

He offered him some words of advice: “Being a celebrity is not the be all and end all.”
