Within moments of her arrival, boyfriend Courtney, who competed alongside her on the most recent series of the BBC One show and finished as runner up, took to Twitter to show his support.

However he couldn't help but make a joke first, writing: "When your dinner date cancels as they are going into the #cbb house. Go on @TheProdigalFox you're gonna smash it x"

Underneath he added a gif of Leonardo DiCaprio raising his eyebrows in a "whatever" kind of way in Titanic.
