Bottoms up: Celebrity Big Brother's Chloe Ferry, 21, received a formal warning for rubbing her bare bottom on Jedward's John Grimes during Wednesday's episode
The reality starlet was called to the Diary Room and told: 'Today in the bathroom with John you lifted your towel up and rubbed your naked bottom against his back.
'This is uninvited physical contact when you’re naked. Invading people’s personal space when you’re naked is unacceptable.
'Big Brother would suggest you refrain from this sort of behaviour in the future.'
Too far? Earlier in Wednesday's show, Chloe was seen dropping her towel and approaching John from behind before rubbing her bottom on his upper back
Clearly shocked by the warning, Chloe explained that it was just a 'joke'.
She added: 'He fake tans my bum all the time!'
However, CBB bosses stood by their comments, and explained that although John did not complain, Big Brother can still step in and talk to housemates any time they believe they have gone too far.
A CBB spokesperson told MailOnline: 'In accordance with established protocols Big Brother dealt with this accordingly.'

Earlier in Wednesday's show, Chloe was seen dropping her towel and approaching a kneeling John Grimes - member of pop duo Jedward - from behind before rubbing her bottom on his upper back.
Social media users were quick to criticise the reality star's actions, calling them 'unacceptable' and 'clearly a sexual assault'.
Others called on John, 25, to press charges against the Geordie Shore personality, claiming there would be outrage had a man done it to her.

Shortly after she had lifted her towel and rubbed herself against him, John said: 'Oh God, oh God, what are you doing?
'What are you doing to us? I can't even look at you right now.'
However a defiant Chloe responded: 'This is what you call a real girl; that's a real woman's bum.'
In a bid to put John at ease, she added: 'It's just been washed,' causing John to reply: 'I appreciate that.'

Twitter was quickly awash with complaints to the Celebrity Big Brother account, with many calling for her to be removed from the Channel 5 show.
User Elaine said: 'If a man did that they would be removed should be no different for her she's vile.'
A fan account for the Jedward star added: 'If #CBB don't do anything about it then John could actually press charges!'
Difference of opinions: The reality star, famous for her exploits in Geordie Shore, found the prank hilarious but John did not seem so sure
Another user wrote: 'I love chloe but she clearly made him uncomfortable & she should be told it's not acceptable.'
Elsewhere, other Twitter accounts said 'it's clearly a sexual assault' and 'Chloe Ferry is an embarrassment.'
Ofcom said it has received two official complaints regrading the incident and that it would be assessing them before launching an investigation.
