Celebrity Big Brother 2017: Jessica’s boyfriend sets record straight as fans say DUMP her

The 29-year-old owner of Bubblegum Stuff, a novelty gift company, tweeted last night to address the status of his relationship with the brunette.

He posted: "Just to clear everything up, me and Jessica have been dating since the apprentice but are not officially together. It's as simple as that."

The pair may have formed a strong partnership on Lord Alan Sugar's BBC reality show, but since Jessica entered the Celebrity Big Brother compound last weekend, the relationship has looked rocky.

Celebrity Big Brother viewers were surprised to hear Kim Woodburn urging Chloe Ferry to become an escort

Despite dating Courtney in the outside world since before Christmas, Jessica has locked horns with Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry on multiple occasions as they compete for Calum's affections.

Last night's episode saw a jealous Jessica, 29, in tears yet again as she saw Chloe trying to kiss and get into bed with the son of George Best.

Both women have expressed an interest in Calum but Chloe has been increasingly more forward with her advances.

Earlier in the evening, during a conversation with Jessica, Chloe recounted the details of the night before when she and Calum flirted and shared a kiss.

The topic of conversation was unexpected, given the history of their CBB love triangle which led to a furious row earlier in the week.

Before the CBB drama, Jessica and Courtney looked loved up when they jetted off on holiday together before Christmas.

Both the Apprentice contestant shared photos of their romantic getaway to Instagram; Jessica posted one showing Courtney holding his hand up in a heart shape and Courtney shared a snap of Jessica in a bikini looking out from their beach view balcony.

Jessica's behaviour on Celebrity Big Brother has fans questioning her loyalty

Fans responded to Courtney's tweet urging him to dump Jessica.

Comments ranged from telling Courtney to "just f**k her off," saying he was "worth more," to one person saying: "She's making you look like a right melon there pal."

Another user told Courtney: "If she's willing to behave that way on TV imagine what she'll be like when there aren't cameras around. Poor lad!"

Celebrity Big Brother continues with eviction night tonight 9pm on Channel 5.
