Apprentice star Courtney Wood jokes girlfriend Jessica Cunningham ditched him to go on Celebrity Big Brother
The couple met on the BBC One reality show last year
COURTNEY Wood has joked girlfriend Jessica Cunningham stood him up to go on Celebrity Big Brother.
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.
Minutes later he tweeted: "If I had won the 250k investment on #theapprentice Im pretty sure I would have bet it all on @TheProdigalFox winning #cbb #cbbjessica".
Courtney then received a tweet off former Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame, who wrote: "Your missus is gunna smash it! LOVE her! X".
The entrepreneur replied: "Yes I'm sure she will @NikkiGrahame she is pure entertainment. FYI your all my all time fav BB housemate #fangirling".
Courtney, 29, made it through to the final, finishing as runner-up to Alana Spencer, but mother-of-three Jessica, 29, was booted out before him in week 11.
Despite failing to find an investment from Lord Sugar, the entrepreneurs found love instead and have continued secretly dating since filming finished.
“The relationship is in the early stages though. They are going to give it a go and take it from there.”
