He was slammed by viewers during his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house when he took his wedding ring off and failed to mention to any of his housemates that he has a wife, but it looks like Jermaine Pennant's flirtatious antics with Chloe Ayling have left him well and truly in the dog house with his wife Alice Goodwin.

During his short stay in the CBB house, the former footballer struck up a close friendship with Chloe, even sending her secret notes using her makeup. However, after Chloe discovered she was about to be evicted, Jermaine put his wedding ring back ON and started to tell his fellow housemates he's been married for four years.

When he left the house in a shock eviction on Tuesday night's show, Jermaine pleaded his innocence with Emma Willis, admitting he thought everybody knew he was married.

He told Emma, "Nothing actually physically happened...I never once said I am single...I thought she knew I was married."

The 35-year-old then admitted he will need to 'explain himself' to his wife, adding, "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."

BUT NOW, just days after his eviction, Jermaine's wife Alice has reportedly been left very upset by his flirty antics and she's currently staying with a family member.

According to the Daily Mirror, a friend of the pair has reportedly claimed there’s a 50/50 chance of them staying together, after Jermaine tried to say it was all 'banter'.

The friend told the publication, "Jermaine totally embarrassed Alice with his antics, he really needs to grow up and be a bit more mature, he has a beautiful wife who had to listen to people constantly talking about his behaviour in the house.

"I think it’s 50/50 whether they will stay together, Jermaine will have to pull out all the stops to keep her."

They then added, "I think they are going to meet again tomorrow but flowers and chocolates ain't going to win her over, Jermaine has to show how much he wants her."

Oh dear! 😬

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.

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, luckily for Jermaine, his antics in the house were slightly overlooked by the drama between former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet and former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas.

After Roxanne accused Ryan of being a 'woman beater', despite footage showing he barely touched her during a 'play fight'. Roxy decided to QUIT the show and later told Emma Willis she is the 'most hated girl in Britain'.

Since then, a number of Roxanne's fellow co-stars have slammed the actress, including Lucy Pargeter, former X Factor star Rhydian Roberts and more than 20 of her former Emmerdale co-stars.
