Celebrity Big Brother star Jamie O’Hara refuses to apologise for fling with Bianca Gascoigne, saying he has ‘no regrets’
The professional footballer has enjoyed a romance with model Bianca after meeting on the show, but has since discovered she was in a relationship with cagefighter CJ Meeks
CELEBRITY Big Brother star Jamie O’Hara has refused to apologise to Bianca Gascoigne's ex-boyfriend, insisting he has “no regrets” about their romance or his time in the house.
The footballer admitted he has no guilt about striking up a romance with the model, which her ex claims left him “heartbroken and homeless”.
But ahead of their reunion at tonight's final, Jamie insisted he had done nothing wrong, and in an exclusive interview told The Sun: “I wouldn’t have done anything differently. I haven’t got any regrets at all about anything that happened in the house.
“It was just really hard to not pursue it at the end of the day because we were on top of each other and I thought she was single.
“Once that connection’s there it’s hard to stop it."
The couple grew close during their time in the house together, but the romance was nearly derailed when he found out about her cagefighter boyfriend on the outside, but they made up after the revelation and continued their fling.
The affair saw a rejected CJ abandon plans to propose and move out of their shared home on Tuesday when he issuing a bitter warning to the midfielder telling him he’ll need “good luck” dating Bianca, who he branded “a wrong-un.”
But Jamie says he has had no contact from CJ and wouldn’t know how to react of the pair came face to face.
The footballer, 30, has broken his silence to stand up for his girl after the model was slammed by CJ Meeks in a scathing interview.
And he vowed to be there for Bianca at tonight’s final when he said they WILL discuss plans for their future together, admitting the strip club owner has already won his family’s approval.
Jamie told The Sun: “I don’t know CJ, but Bianca’s amazing. She wouldn’t do anything for fame. She doesn’t need to do that.
“She’s 100 per cent genuine and what we had together in there is 100 percent genuine.
“I had a big dinner with my family last night. They’ve all said they love Bianca.
“I’m obviously going to see her tonight and we’re just going to have a fun night with everyone.
“Then I’m going to sit down and have a chat with her over the weekend and see what she’s thinking and what she wants to do.
“I want to take her out.”

Jamie had previously stated in his exit chat with show host Emma Willis that he wouldn’t pursue a relationship with Bianca until she had sorted out the situation with scorned ex, CJ.
But he admitted to The Sun he has fallen for the blonde and still plans to whisk her away to Dubai so they get to know each other private.
He said: “The more time I spent with her, she was definitely someone I could fall in love with.
“I loved her personality. I could mess about with her. I could have a laugh with her – I could pie her in the face.
“We became friends first and the connection came after that. Obviously, she’s very beautiful but for me it was more about her personality, which was great.
“Love’s a very strong word, but in time I could definitely fall in love with her. I’m a lover, I wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m a Libra – I fall in love quick.”
He added that at 30 years old he could be ready to settle down.
Jamie said: “I’m in a place where I’d love to have a girlfriend. I’ve been single for a while, four five months. Bianca could definitely be that girl.”
Jamie also hit back at speculation he had already moved on from Bianca after being seen partying with female dancers at strip clubs two nights in a row since his eviction and out with a mystery brunette at Drake’s concert at London’s O2 Arena last night.
The footballer captured the wild nights on snapchat, sharing footage of dancers gyrating on poles in their underwear as he watched on.
But Jamie claimed it was in fact Bianca who encouraged him to party hard and had attended the strip club she managed, The Gaslight, on his second outing to show his support for her business.
He said: “We had mates going to the strip club so me and Calum Best joined them. We wanted to let our hair down after being in the house for 25 days.
“Then I met Spencer and Heidi and James Jordan after a meal and they wanted to go to Bianca’s spot so I said I’d come along to support her club.
“I’ve never been before – I had her approval. She asked me to go when I came out so I went.”
And he made a pledge of reassurance to the busty model that he will have no problem resisting temptation from female fans now he has been set free from the house thanks to years of attention while playing football.
He said: “I went to Drake last night and there were a few ladies asking for pictures, but I’ve been privileged enough to play for some of the best teams in the country so I guess I’ve had that past. I play very humble – I’ll be a gentleman and pose for pictures but that’s it."
