After removing his wedding ring when he entered the house, former footballer Jermaine Pennant racked up a rather flirtatious relationship with Chloe Ayling inside of the Celebrity Big Brother house, sending secret notes, sharing a bed and even confessing he "likes" her in the latest task.
But on last night's show the pair's relationship took a MAJOR turn when Chloe told her fellow housemates about Jermaine's notes to her. After coming out of the Diary Room to questions from the likes of Ryan Thomas and Dan Osborne, Jermaine started to backtrack on his comments, saying it was all just 'banter'.
Things then took ANOTHER sour turn when Jermaine admitted to Gabby, Dan and Ben that he not only has a girlfriend on the outside, but that he is MARRIED!
With Chloe being kept in the dark about his revelation, it wasn't until she was evicted in last night's show that she found out about Jermaine's wife, during her interview with Emma Willis.
After being shown the footage of Jermaine confessing to his fellow housemates, a visibly shocked Chloe said, "No way. I don't even know what to say to that. I don't even have any words at the moment, that is just disgusting."
THEN, later on in the evening, Chloe spoke to the press where she sent a message to Jermaine's wife. She told Digital Spy, "I would apologise to her [Jermaine's wife], but then I would have to say that I could only go by what I was told and I knew nothing else."
The model then added, "When you're in that house, there's no other way of checking what he's saying is true. I could only believe that. I'm sorry this happened, but it's his problem."

2 of 11Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell
Perhaps the most memorable CBB romance EVER! Despite entering the house with a boyfriend (Sam Reece), Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis took an instant liking to Jeremy McConnell, with the pair leaving the house as an official couple. They endured one of the most on/off relationships in the showbiz land, before welcoming their son Caben-Albi George into the world in January 2017 (with Jez doing a paternity test on live TV). Things later took a sour turn, with a number of legal proceedings between the pair. They have now split for good, with Stephanie set to return to Hollyoaks in the coming months.
3 of 11Sarah Harding and Chad Johnson
Nobody saw a romance between former Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding and The Bachelorette's Chad Johnson coming in 2017.But after Chad and Sarah racked up a cute friendship, things soon turned into a romance in the house, with the pair getting cosy on a number of occasions. They remained together for a number of weeks after the show ended, but with Chad living in America and Sarah in the UK, things didn't work out.
4 of 11Chantelle Houghton and Preston
Ordinary Boys singer Preston immediately fell for 'fake celebrity' Chantelle Houghton in 2006. Just three months after leaving the CBB house, the pair announced their engagement, with the wedding taking place the following August. However, in June 2007 (less than a year later) Chantelle and Preson got a divorce, but the pair have remained friends!
5 of 11Stephen Bear and Chloe Khan
Despite dating Lillie Lexie Greg at the time, Bear didn't let that stop him getting cosy with Chloe Khan during the 2016 series, with their fellow housemates complaining at their raunchy behaviour. Although Lillie entered the house to confront Bear, that didn't stop Chloe waiting for him when he left the house as champion. Despite their whirlwind romance, things soon ended between the pair, with Bear now dating model Ellie O'Donnell.
6 of 11Basshunter and Katia Ivanova
Katia actually had a boyfriend on the outside, but her head was turned when she met Basshunter, real name Jonas Erik Altberg. Despite the pair enjoying some time together in the house, Katia ended things on the show, calling the DJ 'too clingy'.
7 of 11Marnie Simpson and Lewis Bloor
Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson and TOWIE's Lewis Bloor had an instant connection when they appeared on the 2016 series of CBB. Things seemed to be going well for the couple when they left the house, with the pair even moving in together. But it all ended in tears when it was revealed that Lewis had cheated on Marnie twice!
8 of 11Megan McKenna and Scotty T
Despite Stephanie and Jeremy's relationship taking up more or less the whole series in 2016, TOWIE's Megan McKenna and Geordie Shore's Scotty T also got VERY cosy. The reality pair enjoyed a number of steamy kisses in the house, but things didn't go to plan on the outside, with Scotty T blaming distance as the reason for their split.
9 of 11Kerry Katona and Lucien Laviscount
Another CBB romance NOBODY saw coming was between Kerry Katona and former Waterloo Road star Lucien Laviscount in 2011.Kerry and Lucien seemed very loved-up in the house, sharing a number of cuddles and kisses, but things didn't work out due to their 11-year age difference on the outside world.
10 of 11Edele Lynch and George Gilbey
After originally trying it on with The Hills star Stephanie Pratt, Gogglebox's George Gilbey ended up in a relationship with B*Witched singer Edele Lynch. The pair even ended up going on a caravan holiday together, but things quickly ended and George now has a child with another woman.
11 of 11Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz/Casey Bachelor
The 2014 series of CBB brought with it one of the cringiest love-triangles to date, between Blue singer Lee Ryan, Jasmine Waltz and Casey Bachelor. Lee started off by getting to know Casey, before declaring his 'love' for Jasmine. But when the America model was evicted, Lee jumped back into bed with Casey (leaving viewers fuming).CBB bosses then created MASSIVE drama when they put Jasmine back into the house, resulting in a huge argument between the pair. Despite this, Lee and Jasmine started a relationship and even appeared on the front of a magazine, but things didn't last long when Jasmine accused him of 'cheating'.
Meanwhile, after repeatedly describing his actions as 'banter' and then putting his wedding ring back ON, viewers of the show took to Twitter to express their anger at Jermaine's behaviour...
