This week Colson broke down in tears after Levi branded him "boring".
During a game of jelly bean roulette, Levi was asked to pick the most boring housemate.
He said: "If I was going to pick one, it would have been pre yesterday, I would’ve said it would’ve been Colson."
Overcome with emotion Colson went to the bathroom where he could be heard crying.
Colson also revealed that he has a secret girlfriend.
He opened up about his love life to Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh as he spoke about his epic 10 stone weight loss.
Speaking about his lover, Colson said: "She's very supportive. So if ever I'm having a bad day, she tells me exactly what I need to hear."
Louis added: "Wow. That's the person to have in your life."
Colson replied: "She's very much a good egg. She is."
