CELEBRITY Big Brother stars Jermaine Pennant and Chloe Ayling will come face to face tonight for the first time since Chloe announced they were ‘intimate’ in the Big Brother house.
They’re both set to appear at the National Reality TV Awards, and it’ll be an awkward reunion between the pair – especially as Jermaine is now back with his wife Alice Goodwin and keen to put his flirtation with Chloe behind him.
“It’s fair to say neither of them want to come face to face with each other in public,” says an insider.
“Jermaine’s marriage is back on track, so the last thing he needs is having to chat politely with Chloe after she made the claims about what they were doing under the covers in the house.
“It’ll be interesting to see what happens when they meet on the red carpet.”
Just last week, kidnap victim Chloe told The Sun Online that the Big Brother cameras didn’t capture everything that went on in the house – and that she’d been “intimate” with Jermaine under the covers while they were in bed together.
She said: “When me and Jermaine shared a bed one night in the Big Brother house something intimate did happen when I was under the impression he was single, however absolutely nothing has happened between us since finding out he was married during my eviction interview.
“We played the bed swapping game and I ended up with Jermaine.
“I was wearing a hoodie and knickers and we got under the covers – we each had our own duvet – and we knew we had to be discreet because all the cameras where on us.
“I felt his hands on me and I kind of laughed because I wasn’t expecting it but I let him carry on because at that point I liked him and thought he was single.
“When I found out he was married I was speechless and shocked – I couldn’t understand how someone could confess on national TV that they like another girl, spend the whole time flirting with them and even share a bed.
“This led a young girl on and completely disrespected his wife, making me realise he didn’t care about anyone’s feelings.
“And when it goes as far as something physical happening – beyond a kiss – and then to find this out, of course you feel used.”
After their encounter, Chloe said Jermaine told her in the bathroom: “Tell no one what f**king happened” – talking about what happened in the bedroom.
