Nicola McLean has joked about having a "free card" in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house, despite being married.
The busty blonde engaged in a flirty exchange with ex-soccer star Jamie O’Hara earlier this week, but Nicola, 35, subsequently laughed off the situation, saying she was free to do as she pleases amid claims her husband Tom Williams had previously cheated on her.
She said: "I don’t have to explain anything, that’s the joy of when someone f***s up so bad, you’ve got a free card."
The controversy developed after the mother-of-two showered the former sports star with kisses on his cheek and asked Jamie to climb into bed with her when the lights in the house were turned off.
She said: "When the light goes off you better come over here and reassure me …"
And during another flirty exchange in the smoking area, Nicole said to Jamie: "You hate me!"
He quickly responded: "No, no, no I love you!", before explaining that because he also loved her husband Tom, nothing would happen between himself and Nicola.
He said into the camera: "Tom, it’s OK, mate. Tom, it’s cool."
But Nicole subsequently went on to suggest that despite Jamie’s claims, the pair had previously kissed each other.
She said while giggling: "We’ve done it before, can’t do it again!"
Thereafter, Nicola turned her attention to fellow housemate Calum Best, and the pair had a quick kiss on the lips before he said: "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!"
And a giggling Nicola replied: "Don’t do that to me!"
Nicola, though, later admitted to being extremely drunk, suggesting that some of her flirtatious behaviour was influenced by the wine she’d been enjoying.
