Sarah Harding claims Celebrity Big Brother viewers hate her because they all FANCY Chad Johnson – as her secret boyfriend admits he’s ‘heartbroken’
SARAH Harding has a new theory about why she's unpopular with the Celebrity Big Brother audience - it's all because they fancy her boyfriend Chad Johnson.
The Girls Aloud singer, who hooked up with Chad despite having a secret boyfriend on the outside, once again found herself feeling distressed after hearing a slew of boos from the crowd during Tuesday night's live eviction.
Although housemate Jemma Lucy told her to ignore it, Sarah couldn't let the subject drop, and decided it must be because everyone fancies Chad.
"I think they don't like couples, do they?" she said.
"They keep saying, 'Get Sarah out'. Do they fancy Chad or something?
"I don't get it. Why? I don't get why.
"In the first week they were all cheering so why are they all hating on me now?
"Is it because they don't like to see me with someone they all fancy?"
Ex on the Beach star Jemma, 29, told Sarah not to take the boos to heart, saying: "Who gives a f***? Take some advice from me - who gives a f*** what anybody else thinks."
Sarah replied: "But it may influence the nation, right?"

Jemma rubbished that theory, saying: "No they won't! They ain't going to influence the nation - this is what I live by: don't give a f***.
"Honestly, you care about Chad, he cares about you.
"They boo me as well."
As for whether the crowd fancies Chad, Jemma simply said: "Maybe, but do you care? Don't worry!
"If they fancy Chad, you're the one who has got him.
"Honestly, Sarah, I told you on day three not to worry about that s***.
"I get it as well."
Sarah, however, was still worried and said: "But it's on national telly!"
Jemma countered: "But you're still here! Things like that, you can't worry about it. If they don't like you and Chad, so what? You're happy. Don't listen to that s***."
Sarah replied by hugging Jemma, despite their various rows and rocky patches throughout the series, and telling her: "You're so f***ing strong. I wish I had your skin."
Sarah hooked up with American Bachelorette star Chad, 30, despite entering the house with a secret boyfriend waiting for her on the outside.
They first kissed two weeks ago before making things official over the weekend and then stunning viewers with their X-rated bedroom encounter.
Chad has also declared he "loves" the star after just three weeks of knowing her.
A friend of Aaron's said: “He’s heartbroken. He fell for her.
“They were inseparable. He supported her going on Celebrity Big Brother and watched nightly.
“He’s devastated she went behind his back.
"He is a great guy and fell for Sarah for who she is, not the celebrity.
“He wasn't bothered she was famous. He really liked her."
Another insider revealed to The Sun that Sarah and Aaron met at a bar and romance quickly blossomed.
She told Chad she'd been seeing someone for four weeks on the outside, but the source claimed Sarah and Aaron had been together around two months and he'd even moved into her home.
Aaron's now back home with his parents.
She has spoken in the house about not wanting to hurt Aaron - although she's never mentioned him by name.
In a previous chat with Chad, she said: "I’ve only been dating for four weeks and I just don’t wanna hurt someone.
"He's a good person, and you're a good person, and they don't deserve to be hurt."
Celebrity Big Brother airs 9pm on Channel 5
