Former footballer Jermaine Pennant was the fourth housemate to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house last night, in a surprise eviction which saw comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli win the public vote for the THIRD time!

As host Emma Willis and the packed crowd remained silent throughout the live show to ensure the housemates didn't know anything about it, they certainly got a shock when Emma went live to the house, revealing that Jermaine was the latest evictee.

And despite Jermaine's close friendship with model Chloe Ayling being a big talking point, the drama has been overshadowed by the recent incident between former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas and former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett.

That didn't stop Emma asking ALL of the questions we wanted to hear to Jermaine, including one about his WIFE, which he failed to mention to his fellow housemates for most of his time on the show.

Despite writing Chloe secret notes in the house and then confessing that he 'likes her' in the confessional booth, Jermaine told Emma, "Nothing actually physically happened...I never once said I am single...I thought she knew I was married."

When Emma probed about what his wife would make of it all, Jermaine added, "Probably, but again it's one side of the story...if I have to explain myself then I'll do that. In this house everything is magnified...it's unbelievable."

With the whole nation talking about it, Emma also showed Jermaine the footage of the recent 'punching' incident between Roxanne and Ryan. After seeing the footage, just like Friday night's evictee Ben Jardine, Jermaine said, "Is that it? That's poor...I was expecting something big...Now I feel like a mug. That's really bad."

Stephanie 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.

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.

Lee 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, as the Celebrity edition of this year's Big Brother comes to an end, bosses have today revealed the civilian series will begin on Friday 14th September at 9pm on Channel 5, THAT'S NEXT WEEK!
