People may not remember the name Ben Jardine, but they will remember Ben Jardine as a bit of a love rat after being on Married At First Sight.

The property developer, 36, became well-known for tying the knot with his partner on the show, Stephanie, and they were the only couple to last from Season 3.

HOWEVER. After Ben admitted that he'd cheated on Steph during the three months they were together, they decided to get a divorce - and the proceedings have begun this week.

But apparently, Ben is going to extreme lengths to put his failed marriage behind him - as, according to The Sun, he's heading into the Celebrity Big Brother house this month.

A source told the publication: "Ben has had a year from hell so is thrilled to be going on Celebrity Big Brother. It means he can finally put the past behind him and move on."

Former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas is rumoured to have signed up for the show. His brother Adam was a popular figure on I'm A Celebrity back in 2016.

A second person told The Sun: "Ben's career is definitely on the up. He is absolutely made for TV and is the perfect choice for Celebrity Big Brother.

"Ben is bursting with charisma and charm and is also such a nice guy to be around. He's definitely going to prove popular with both his fellow housemates and viewers at home."

Ben and Steph got hitched on 30th September 2017 for the show, meeting each other there and then as the show dictates.

Even though they seemed to be really happy together and getting on quite well, they split as soon as the show had finished filming.

Things went really downhill for the pair after Steph only discovered that Ben wanted a divorce after he revealed his intention in a radio interview.

Oh DEAR. 👀
