Apprentice star Courtney Wood has threatened to dump Celebrity Big Brother’s Jessica Cunningham over flirting with Calum Best
Courtney even wants to confront Jessica on TV inside the house if her flirtation continues
APPRENTICE star Courtney Wood has vowed to end his romance with Jessica Cunningham if she takes her flirtation with Calum Best any further.
Courtney, who’s banned his parents from watching the reality show, admits he’d even be up for confronting her by going on Celebrity Big Brother himself.
In an exclusive chat with the Sun’s Bizarre column he said: “There was a bit of flirting with Calum and I’m completely cool with that.
“But if anything more was to happen then we won't be dating anymore.
“At the moment we are just in the dating stages but when you’re seeing a girl and find out she’s kissing someone else then ‘Nah.”

Jessica has made no secret of her crush on ladies’ man Calum after stroking his hair and telling him he was “cute” in an episode of the show that aired this week.
Businessman Courtney immediately hit back at online trolls who tweeted in their hundreds branding Jessica a “slag.”
He tweeted: “Nah Calum Best doesn’t count, everyone fancies Calum Best, even I fancy Calum Best #CBB.”
Courtney admitted: “I am used to Twitter trolls.
“People were calling her a slag and saying I had been mugged off. I got about 300-400 tweets, everyone was straight on it.
“I wouldn’t say I jumped to her defence, I just gave my honest opinion on the situation. For me it wasn’t that hard or difficult.”
Courtney started dating Jessica after meeting on the Apprentice last year but the couple went public with their steamy romance during a holiday together in Tenerife.
The rival candidates, who even hooked up while competing on the BBC1 show, were spotted getting down to business on their sunny break.
Courtney, who runs his own company bubblegumstuff.com, said: “The holiday was absolutely fantastic, we had a great time.
“We get on really well together. The only problem and reason we are taking it slow is that she lives three hours away from me so it is going to be a bit of a long distance relationship.
“She also has three young children so she is aware of everyone she goes out with will have to take those kids on as well. We’re just dating and taking things slow.”
Mum-of-three Jessica, who previously worked as a stripper, impressed Lord Sugar enough to make it to the penultimate episode of the series while Courtney finished as runner-up.
But now Courtney’s keen on putting an end to Jessica’s flirtations by joining her on the reality show.
He said: “If it ramps up to anything more then get me in the house. I feel like I could provide some entertaining television.
“If I was to go in it would be interesting to see how the dynamic of the house would change.”
Jessica entered the CBB house as a late addition last Friday while poor Courtney was left without a dinner date.
He said: “The morning of when three new housemates were going in she was coming to London so we could go for dinner.
“Instead I had a microwave meal of Marconi cheese and watched the girl I was dating go into Celebrity Big Brother.”
