Celebrity Big Brother’s Stephen Bear chooses Chloe Khan – not ex Lillie
Insists he has done former flame a favour
DESPITE coming face-to-face with his supposed girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg when she enters the Celebrity Big Brother house in this evening’s episode, Stephen Bear will choose new love Chloe Khan over her.
That doesn’t mean he feels good about it though.
Opening up to housemate Ricky Norwood, the 26-year-old gives a rare glimpse at his vulnerable side.
In the smoking area, Ricky remarks: “That was serious, and I saw your heart sink. I know that feeling.”
Agreeing, Bear replies: “It was horrible. I didn’t think I’d have to deal with that stuff in here…I’d love to see Chloe again.”
Considering Bear’s words, the former EastEnders star advises: “When you come out of here, reality will hit you.”

Later speaking to Big Brother in the diary room, bear is unable to keep his emotions in-check.
He tells Big Brother: “I’ve had a low day, I’ve tried to mask it. After seeing Lillie, that’s all I could think about. I just want to be by myself. I spoke to Rick a lot today; it was nice to speak to someone. No one actually really knows me in here. It was a f**king hard day.”
He continues: “In the long run she would have got hurt a lot more…I would have married her! I think about her everyday.
“I can’t be with her; it’s not fair on her. I was adamant I wasn’t going to get with no one. Everything happens for a reason…she’s had a lucky escape from me. It took me 26 years to find someone I care about…”
In the garden, Bear confirms to Marnie Simpson and Lewis Bloor that he was in a relationship before entering the infamous Boreham Wood bungalow.
He concludes: “She’s made me look really stupid and bad.”
Celebrity Big Brother will air these scenes tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
