Anthea Turner’s ex Grant Bovey DUMPS girlfriend of three years to be ‘single for Celebrity Big Brother’
Love cheat has ditched his other half for a chance of stardom on Channel 5 show
GRANT BOVEY is not just the least popular housemate to enter Celebrity Big Brother.
He’s also a villain in his own house, after dumping his girlfriend of three years to ensure he’s single for the Channel 5 show.
I can reveal the failed businessman, who is a 25-1 outsider to win with bookies William Hill, split with ZOE DE MALLET MORGAN just days before Thursday night’s big launch.
And the socialite is not happy, given she’s stuck by him through all his business shockers.
A source said: “Grant wants to be footloose and fancy free in the house. He wants no distractions whatsoever.
“It’s a ruthless move but he has a habit of making harsh decisions, both with relationships and business.
“Zoe is obviously deeply annoyed as she’s been dumped within moments of Grant getting a sniff of the big time once again.”
Grant, who I revealed last month is going on the show for £100,000, divorced telly presenter ANTHEA TURNER, an original Celebrity Big Brother housemate, last year following his affair with Zoe, who is half his age.
Dumping his young girlfriend to be single on CBB is nearly as embarrassing as his cringe-worthy Flake photo opportunity with Andrea at their 2000 wedding.
But a source close to Grant said: "Grant and Zoe both wanted different things for the future and so the decision was made to part ways."
He clearly likes the look of his potential female housemates who will soon be entering the house.
Geordie Shore star MARNIE SIMPSON is single, and she certainly likes a flirt. It could be the most unlikely Big Brother romance since KINGA and the wine bottle.
