Jermaine Pennant has demanded Chloe Ayling say their flirting was "just banter".
The former Liverpool soccer player wrote love notes to the glamour model and shared a bed with Chloe during their time in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house – but he also told Chloe that he was in a fledgling relationship with a woman outside the house, omitting the fact he’s been married to Alice Goodwin since 2014.
Now, Channel 5 has said it will air the scene in which the 35-year-old sportsman dragged the recently evicted 21-year-old model into a toilet and told her that she needed to keep what had happened between them quiet.
In a clip, Jermaine says: "Yeah, I know I’ve got a missus on the outside, but like – come here, is your mic turned off?
"When we get out, they’re going to ask all sorts of questions and you’re just going to have to say it was just banter."
Chloe replied: "Yeah, but, the thing is they have already seen it’s not just banter, so I can’t. I can’t say it’s banter when it’s not."
Jermaine said: "They haven’t seen anything."
Chloe retorted: "You said in the confession room ‘I like you’, you said in the confession room … see you might see it as banter but people on the outside world won’t."
In another clip aired during tonight’s episode, Jermaine is seen slating Chloe to reality star Dan Osborne, accusing her of being a game player.
He said: "All this is because she’s up for eviction … she starts chirping up, it’s all a bit of banter and all of a sudden … it’s no coincidence at all, coming out on the day you’re up for eviction."
