CBB’s Grant Bovey rues missed chance with Marnie Simpson … as she says she LOVES him
The beauty made her comments after he was nominated for eviction
DOWNTRODDEN Grant Bovey was left ruing his missed chance with Marnie Simpson after hearing the CBB babe had snogged fellow housemate Lewis Bloor.
Anthea Turner's ex revealed he had feelings for the Geordie Shore beauty, 24, in a gossip with Katie Waissel and American Aubrey O'Day.
Looking visibly gutted after hearing of Marnie's antics he told them: "I've blown it.
"I think shes a little young for me."
After being quizzed by busty blonde Aubrey, Grant, 56, said: "There was a little thing, no not really."
Brash Aubrey then filled a clueless Katie in and explained: ";He thought she was cute, she thought he was cute."
She added: "I saw you flirting, but you've got to be aggressive.
"There's a whole line of tigers after her."
The pair were referring to a seeming spark between the TV star and the businessman a few days back.
Marnie then secretly admitted to Big Brother she found him "sexy."
Yet after learning about Marnie puckering up with Lewis, Grant seemed to have resigned himself to the fact nothing would happen.
To add more misery to the mix, Grant then learned he was up for the first eviction on Friday.
He will be up for the public vote alongside radio presenter James Whale.
No sooner than Big Brother announced the news Marnie left up and wrapped her arms around a shocked Grant.
The MTV babe squealed: "I love him! He's one of my best friends in here, I don't want him to go!
She then repeated: "I love him!" yet again as Grant plonked a kiss on her head.
Last week, bisexual Marnie admitted she and Grant had been flirting, she said: “Grant is a dark horse, I think he fancies us.
“I feel like me and Grant are flirting.”
Her admission came after the pretty brunette was chatting to Grant in the dinning room.
She asked him what age he lost his virginity and if he enjoyed spooning.
Marnie then explained that she meant in what position he liked a cuddle in bed and if he preferred to be the “little” or “big” spoon, to which he replied: “I’ve got to be careful what I say.”
She then giggled: “Me and Grant have got a strong bond. He wants to have a full blown affair with me!”
