Who is Bianca Gascoigne? CBB 2017 finalist and glamour model who’s ‘back together’ with ex CJ Meeks
BIANCA Gascoigne has become known as somewhat unlucky-in-love thanks to several public romances breaking down in the eyes of the public.
But who is the star? How did she become famous? and what's happening in her love life now?
Who is Bianca Gascoigne and where is she from?
Bianca is a 31-year-old British glamour girl who is the daughter to Sheryl Gascoigne and former stepdaughter of ex-England footballer Gazza.
The star has had success on a circuit of reality shows - and has become a modern day pin-up in lads mags.
She enjoys a close relationship with her ex-dad and took on his last name after ditching her birth surname, Bianca Failes, and she has taken steps to help him with his ongoing battle with alcohol addiction.
What reality shows has Bianca Gascoigne appeared in?
It’s no surprise that Bianca’s model looks and bubbly personality made her a popular candidate for reality TV stars, where she has racked up an impressive number of appearances.
She won Celebrity Love Island in 2006, beating Strictly Come Dancing’s Brendan Cole and Eternal band-member Kéllé Bryan to first place.
The victory didn’t end at Love Island, as Bianca beat none other than Danielle Lloyd in a celebrity special of TV show Gladiators in 2008.
Her other brief television appearances include episodes of Come Dine With Me, Celebrity Coach Trip and Snog Marry Avoid.
Despite Bianca’s success in reality TV, she failed to make a great impression when she auditioned for The X Factor in 2012.
Following an awkward rendition of Mary J. Blige’s I’m Goin’ Down, the amateur singer was told she was too “mediocre” for the competition.
How long did Bianca Gascoigne date CJ Meeks? Are they back together?
Bianca and CJ first became an item in spring 2016 and went public when she supported him ringside at London’s O2 Arena in July.
The Cage Fighter said he fell "head over heels"; for Bianca, and told her he loved her after just four dates.
The couple split after she cheated on him with Jamie O'Hara in the Celebrity Big Brother house in January 2017.
At the time, CJ said in an exclusive interview with The Sun Online that he was devastated after seeing Bianca cheat.
But it looks like all is now forgiven and they are now back together.
They have been spotted kissing and all over each other as they enjoyed a night out at the Mayfair Hotel.

What happened between Bianca and Jamie O'Hara?
Bianca made her entrance into the house in a red rubber dress and didn't seem too phased when she said hello to her ex, fellow housemate Calum Best.
Despite having a secret boyfriend on the outside, she was seen getting increasingly close to Jamie O'Hara during the show, enjoying cheeky smooches with him in the camera-free toilet which continued even after she eventually came clean about CJ.
Bianca made it through to the final of the Channel 5 show, and in her exit interview with Emma Willis, said that her feelings for Jamie were real.
However their relationship didn't last a week after the show finished, Bianca was dumped by Jamie who said he feared people would think he was using her and that he wanted to concentrate on his family.
