"Big Brother&amp;#039;s executive producer has defended the decision to allow Conor McIntyre to remain in the house after his treatment of Deana Uppal. Conor outraged viewers by branding his fellow contestant a &amp;quot;stupid b**tard&amp;quot; and threatening to &amp;quot;punch&amp;quot; her after her poor performance in the &amp;#039;Confusing Cuisine&amp;#039; task.    The Irish housemate later apologised for his actions and was given a warning by Big Brother, but nearly 1,000 complaints were made to Ofcom about the incident and fans have continued to call for his exit. However, Big Brother boss Denis O&amp;#039;Connor has said that, although Conor&amp;#039;s behaviour was &amp;quot;totally unacceptable&amp;quot;, the team decided against ejecting him due to his rant being &amp;quot;out of character&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;We are confident that we dealt with Conor in the appropriate way in terms of the systems that we have in place within the show,&amp;quot; O&amp;#039;Connor explained.  &amp;quot;He said something that was totally unacceptable and he was taken into the Diary Room and reminded strongly about his use of language, which he took on board and accepted.  &amp;quot;Because this was out of character for any behaviour he&amp;#039;d had prior to that it was felt that that was enough of a response but we&amp;#039;re continuing to monitor his behaviour and all the housemates&amp;#039; behaviour in the house.&amp;quot; Deana faces eviction from the Big Brother house tonight (June 29) after being nominated for the public vote against Lydia Louisa.
