Jess Impiazzi dumps rugby star fiancé Denny Solomona before entering CBB and wants to find new love in the house
JESS Impiazzi has split from fiancé Denny Solomona ahead of her stint in Celebrity Big Brother.
The glamour girl, 28, said she's open to a new romance in the house, but she'll have to wait a little while before the male contestants join the all-female launch night line-up.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Jess explained how her and rugby ace Denny fell out of love.
She said: "We weren't seeing much of each other and we weren't getting on very well.
"We own two dogs together and two houses so I have to see him, it's not like I'll never see him again. There's no nastiness or anything and that's the main thing, I guess."
Jess said Denny text her good luck after reading on The Sun Online that she was doing CBB, but admits it's unlikely he'll watch her in the house.
And while the relationship has only recently ended, Jess hasn't ruled out finding a new man in the house.
"I am happy being single and doing my own thing," said the stunning model. "I've always been in relationships, but you never know when something comes along, do you? You can't pick or choose when that's going to happen, so who knows."
She began dating Denny in 2015 and the pair soon moved in together – but split up in June 2016.
However, they quickly reconciled and became engaged after Denny popped the question in November.
The opportunity to enter the house as a contestant was too big of a pull for Jess to turn down.
She said: "It's a real new experience, something you're never going to get the chance to do again. I've always watched the show so to go in is so surreal, but I'm so excited.
"I'm going to have a good time and however long I'm in there for, I'm going to have the time of my life and that's how I see it."
Her mum, who's been registered blind for 11 years, is equally as excited, but Jess admits the close pair will find it difficult not speaking to each other on the phone every day.
She said: "We talk about four or five times a day, so we were both crying like 'I'm not going to be able to speak to you.' It sounded like I was going to sea for 10 years."
The Ex On The Beach pin-up isn't shy when it comes to stripping off and has posed topless in glamour shoots for years, which could rile the other housemates.
This year's theme is inspired by the 100th anniversary of the Suffragette movement, when women got the right to vote.
But it might come to a shock when they discover Jess is actually a staunch feminist who believes stripping off is empowering, just like Emily Ratajkowski.
A source told The Sun Online: "Jess is best known as a glamour girl, but she has strong views and thinks women should celebrate their bodies.
"She won't be afraid to speak her mind if others don't agree with her."
