Bianca Gascoigne and Jamie O’Hara split after footballer calls time on their romance… less than a week after leaving Celebrity Big Brother house
The Celebrity Big Brother pair have chosen to go their separate ways after Jamie decided to put his family first...
JAMIE O’Hara has called time on his romance with fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant Bianca Gascoigne - deciding he's not ready to commit to a new relationship.
The pair have remained "great friends" but a source close to Jamie said he’s determined to focus on family issues.
The insider told The Sun’s Bizarre column: “They are going to remain firm friends but Jamie needs to spend time with his family first and focus on other things in his life.
“They had a great time in the CBB house but unfortunately it has come to an end.”
The pair have remained "great friends" but a source close to Jamie said he’s determined to focus on family issues.
Meanwhile Bianca revealed her shock at finding out she'd been dumped, without Jamie telling her.
She said: "I totally respect his decision, obviously children should always come first.
"It would have been more respectful to hear the news from him first rather than reading about it in the newspapers."
And Jamie insisted it was his work commitments and family that had halted the romance.
"She's a cool girl, a wicked girl," he told Rinse FM host Stevo.
"I think at the moment we'll just stay friends, we're going to hang out. I had a wicked time in house but I've got loads on in my personal life – I've got my kids, I've got lots of work coming up. We're just going to be friends."
The news comes after The Sun’s Bizarre column revealed that Jamie enjoyed a string of parties last week without Bianca.
The ex-footballer was out until the early hours on Sunday night with a bevy of women at London club Libertine as Bianca headed to work just minutes away.
He flew to Edinburgh with pal Calum Best on Saturday night while Bianca was meant to attend a PA at Café De Paris which was then cancelled due to poor attendance.
Jamie, who admitted last week he could “fall in love” with Bianca, was last seen kissing her at the CBB final on Friday where all of the show’s stars enjoyed a drink afterwards – but the pair have made no effort to see each other since.
Jamie was out on the town with pal Calum Best at London's Paper nightclub following their eviction last Monday and continued his partying with fellow CBB stars Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, James Jordan and James’s wife Ola.
The group partied at swanky Libertine nightclub where Heidi was seen spanking Ola’s bum in sexy Snapchats posted by James.
Jamie previously denied any wrongdoing after his romance with Bianca in the house, despite her having a boyfriend.
In an exclusive chat with the Sun’s Bizarre column Jamie said: “I didn’t know she had a boyfriend.
“I wouldn’t have done anything differently. Once that connection’s there, it’s hard to stop it.”
The ex-Spurs star also jumped to Bianca’s defence after her cage fighter ex CJ Meeks claimed she had “spat him out for a measly bit of fame.”
He said: “Bianca is amazing. She wouldn’t do anything for fame, she doesn’t need to.
“What we had in there is 100 per cent genuine. I’m going to sit with her over the weekend and see what she wants.
“She was definitely someone I could fall in love with.”
