Stephen Bear has dumped girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg from within the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
The controversial housemate, who has kissed fellow contestant Chloe Khan and canoodled with her on several occasions on the show, effectively pulls the plug on his relationship on tonight’s (08.08.16) episode, by insisting "she’s not the one" and saying he hasn’t got time for a girlfriend.
Speaking to some of his housemates about his relationship on the outside, Bear says: "I need to be single! I thought I would be with her forever, but after thinking in here, she’s not the one.
"I haven’t got time for a girlfriend."
Despite putting Lillie to one side, he continues his show romance with Chloe in this evening’s episode as they get close in the toilet.
Bear has rubbed several housemates up the wrong way on the show throughout the series and was chosen to face nomination every week for the remainder of the series last Friday (05.08.16).
He is up to his old tricks again in Monday night’s highlights show as he irritates Renee Graziano, who snaps: "I was the only person who had sympathy for you! You mistook by kindness for stupidity. I’m very smart. Now leave me the f**k alone!"
Former ‘EastEnders’ star Ricky Norwood is also at the end of his tether with Bear and rants in the Diary Room: "Get him out of the house! I am fuming with him!
"He’s an ugly human being, he’s been trying to provoke, provoke, provoke."
Elsewhere in the house, Marnie Simpson and Saira Khan are given a secret mission to burst balloons belonging to housemates, but Bear even muscles his way in on that.
After the game, Frankie Grande blasts: "It would have been a fun game if Bear wasn’t there!"
While many of the housemates seemed to be frustrated with Bear, Chloe is still a big fan.
She says: "Tonight, everyone is getting on! Bear has got a cute side; we’re just having fun while we’re here. I don’t think he’s Prince Charming!"
Love is also in the air for Marnie and Lewis Bloor who share a shower together and the ‘Geordie Shore’ beauty brands him "perfect".
She says: "I just had the most romantic shower in my life! I would never do anything more than shower with him and kiss him. I’ve never had a boy treat me how he treats me! I feel so lucky. He is just perfect. I don’t ever want to leave this house!"
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ continues on Monday at 9pm.
