Calum Best was ‘all over’ Celebrity Big Brother’s Marissa Jade on their date – after he asked her out on live TV
CALUM Best proved he's one quick operator after whisking Mob Wives star Marissa Jade out for a date just hours after her Celebrity Big Brother eviction.
The Sun Online can exclusively reveal that ladies' man Calum and reality star Marissa were "all over each other" during a night of clubbing at DSTRKT London, before leaving together at the end of the night.

Calum, 36, swooped in on Marissa, 32, while serving as a panel member on CBB spinoff show Bit On The Side on Tuesday night, boldly asking her out for a date on live TV.
After she happily accepted, our insider reveals he called ahead to DSTRKT to book them a table and ensure the date went off without a hitch.
An onlooker told us: "They were all over each other in DSTRKT - Calum was putting his arm around Marissa, and leaning in to whisper in her ear.
"He was buying her drinks all night.
"He'd called ahead to the club to set up the 'date night' after Marissa agreed to go out with him.
"They left together at the end of the night - he was stroking her back and her hair as they left."

Earlier in the evening, confident Calum had asked the newly-evicted Marissa out after taking a swipe at her housemate Jordan Davies, who admitted having feelings for the New York-based reality star.
Calum quipped: "Marissa, my lovely, now that Jordan - who is punching - is out of the situation, are you free tonight?"
Looking a mixture of embarrassed and flattered, brunette Marissa coyly replied: "We can go somewhere tonight."
And she stuck to her word, joining Calum at celeb haunt DSTRKT, enjoying her first taste of freedom in a week by partying alongside the likes of Love Island's Jonny Mitchell.
Marissa - who also admitted on BOTS that Calum is "my cup of tea" - wore the same figure-hugging red dress she had on while being evicted, and held on to Calum's arm as they left the club.

It was an unexpected twist after Celebrity Big Brother's host Emma Willis and spinoff show presenter Rylan Clark-Neal had both joked earlier in the night that Calum and Marissa would make a hot couple - probably not expecting them to actually end up going out together.
Introducing Calum as a member of the night's panel, Rylan asked him: "Calum, are you shocked that it was Marissa tonight and is part of you happy so you can take her out on the town?"

Calum replied: "I am so thrilled I am on the panel!"
Punching the air in glee, he added: "As soon as she was kicked out, I was like, 'Yes, I'm in tonight!'"
Rylan then quipped: "You think he's joking - he ain't!"

Emma also reckoned that Calum and Marissa were a good match and outright said on BOTS: "I think Calum's more her man [than Jordan!]"
Rylan joked: "He's bunged me a fiver to try and set them up. I said, 'at least a tenner - come on!'"
Replying, Emma admitted: "You know, I said, 'Who is on the panel?' and someone went, 'Calum Best' and I was like, 'Ohhhh...'"
Shouting across the room, Calum said: "I didn't ask for it!"
Rylan quipped: "He chose the right night!"
Emma then laughed: "He's been voting for all the others!"

Marissa's night out with Calum came after she admitted post-eviction that she'd like to meet up with Jordan outside the house.
Ex on the Beach's Jordan, 25, made no secret of the fact he had feelings for Marissa and enjoyed flirting with her, but he'd been concerned that perhaps she didn't feel the same way.
Jordan claimed red flags had been raised when he felt she alluded to them being seen together outside the house to maximise their publicity - but Marissa insisted she was completely genuine and would never use someone for a showmance.

Speaking on BOTS, she said: "[Jordan] is an all-around amazing guy and full of life and he brought a lot to the table," she said.
"We vibed really well."
When asked if things with Jordan would have progressed in the house if Marissa hadn't been evicted, she said: "He was trying to get me on the cider! Maybe it was a good thing I was out early as who knows what would have happened?
"I won't answer that as I'm here, I'm safe and we will leave it like that!"
However, she did say that would meet up with Jordan on the outside, saying: "I think he is great. I love his friendship, I really do.
"I know that he is someone that I will definitely keep in touch with."
Marissa also said she's backing Jordan to win the show, saying: "He has a future that boy and he will make it."
