Celebrity Big Brother’s Helen Lederer accuses Sarah Harding of ‘training’ Chad Johnson as part of a secret game plan
HELEN Lederer has accused Sarah Harding of "training" Chad Johnson as part of a secret game plan.
The newly-evicted Celebrity Big Brother star has called their romance "entrepreneurial" and revealed the pair "know how to work it".
The actress was astonished to learn that Sarah and Chad had engaged in some heavy petting in the same room as her on CBB.
Ab Fab star Helen said she was "aghast" to discover Sarah appeared to have performed a sex act on Chad in full view of the cameras - and she doubts their relationship is real.
After leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house in Tuesday night's eviction, Helen told The Sun Online: "I'm amazed and aghast at how rapidly relationships are made."
She said: "I'm shocked. I'm absolutely shocked.
"Good luck to them if that's what works for them. I don't begrudge them a second of their lust."
But Helen doesn't believe their romance is anything more than lust, despite Chad's declarations of love on Monday's CBB.
Asked whether she thought Chad really loved Sarah, she said: "From Chad's point of view, he's just done the one programme and hasn't travelled out of America, and bless him, is quite baffled, and eats a lot of eggs and protein...
"I think he is clearly enamoured of this beautiful women who has chosen him."
Helen also revealed she could see there might be a side to Sarah and Chad's romance beyond attraction.
After she was evicted she told Emma Willis she felt Sarah was "training" Chad, and when asked who is playing games, she replied: "I think Sarah and Chad.
"Mostly because there is a lot more rolling around on the floor, in and out of the pool at certain times of the night."
Helen added: "They're very conscious, they know how to work it and I don't, I don't play games.
She later told The Sun Online she thinks the couple might be combining star power to get ahead.
Helen said: "Sarah perhaps knows more than Chad in terms of the media.
"Now they've found each other and perhaps they can help each other through their experiences in an entrepreneurial, beneficial way - and I suppose with love."

The Sun Online confirmed on Tuesday that media regulator Ofcom is investigating complaints about Sunday night's episode of CBB, which appeared to show Sarah performing a sex act on Chad.
The Girls Aloud star could be seen sliding her hand down Chad's body as they cuddled up together in a double bed.
Initially the couple were hidden under their duvet, but it was then thrown off and viewers watched as Sarah's hand crept down Chad's torso and stopped on top of Chad's crotch.
Helen seemed appalled to learn what had happened between Sarah and Chad - especially as it had happened in the room where she was sleeping at the time.
On Monday night, Helen's fellow CBB stars Paul Danan and Brandi Glanville were even less impressed by Sarah and Chad.
Paul slammed their relationship as "a load of b****cks", before saying: "Sarah getting laid in the toilets is not a good look."
While Brandi said it was "honestly the grossest thing I've ever seen in my entire f***ing life."
