This series of Celebrity Big Brother has been a three course meal of delicious TV delights.

We've had a big ol' plate of bust-ups (mainly involving Kim Woodburn passively aggressively destroying all the other housemates), there's been some side dishes of MAJOR shade throwing and of course a little soupcon of romance for dessert.

Classic CBB, eh?

While pretty much every housemate (and us) was in lurrrrve with Calum Best during his time in the house, it was Bianca Gascoigne and Jamie O'Hara's very public displays of affection that were definitely the most contro.

Mainly because it turns out Bianca had a secret boyfriend in the real world. And we're not just talking about a casual fling with three potential suiters à la Jessica Cunningham, we're talking full-on, serious committed relationship.

CJ Meeks – the IRL boyfriend – recently opened up about how heartbroken he was watching Bianca and Jamie – the CBB boyfriend – crack on in the house, so we thought we’d get to know him a little bit more.

We've got a sneaky suspicion there's probably a load of low key shade being directed at Bianca and Jamie. Just a hunch.
