Celebrity Big Brother’s Ben Jardine admits he has a crush on Gabby Allen after kissing Roxanne Pallett

CONFESSION time came in the Celebrity Big Brother diary room as Ben Jardine came clean over his feelings for a fellow housemate.

The 36-year-old Married at First Sight star may have already admitted his feelings for Roxanne Pallett, 35, in the store room – but he now has his sights set on former Love Island star Gabby Allen, 26.

It sounds as though Gabby may be trying to hint that she’s not attracted to Ben.

But her hard-to-get attitude only appears to be egging him on.

“She's a bit stand-offish, which I like,” Ben smiles in the diary room.

“And all of a sudden, when that little twinkle comes - she's got a little sense of mischievousness. And I like that,” he continued.

“When she does get in, she is in! It's like 'Wow!' Like. She is - that to me, I respect that and I appreciate that,” he exclaimed – in scenes set to air on Wednesday night.

“I am buzzing off on that,” he gushed.

However, Ben has also convinced himself that he might be in with a chance with Gabs.

“She gets the same kind of buzz I get I think,” he theorised.

“I'd love to develop something there, and sometimes - I'll be honest! I'm gonna say it how it is. I don't want to come across as a big head, but - I see her little look on me from her sometimes,” he claimed.

“There is a little something there. And she puts me on the back foot a little bit and I like that,” he added.

Indeed, Ben hints that he thinks he and Gabby could be kindred spirits.

“I don't think she knows where she is or what she wants. And I'm a bit like that, I suppose,” he teased.
His crush confession comes practically hours after he claimed to have feelings for ex-Emmerdale star Roxanne.

“I have a few crushes, I have to be honest," Ben said after seemingly making a move on Roxanne in a store cupboard in scenes that aired on Monday.

"I have a crush on her. I can’t help it. She’s a nice girl. I’ve got a crush on Roxanne,” he added.

Celebrity Big Brother continues on Five tonight at 9pm.
