Celebrity Big Brother star SPLIT from fiancé just before entering house

Could she find romance in the house, though?

Jess Impiazzi entered the Celebrity Big Brother house as a newly-single woman after splitting from her fiance.

The former Ex On The Beach star left fans shocked by revealing she’d ended things with England rugby player Denny Solomona, just a year after he popped the question.

Her reason? They simply drifted apart and began to bicker.

Jess, 28, explained to The Sun: “We weren’t seeing much of each other and we weren’t getting on very well.”

She added that although they’ve ended their relationship, they will still talk because they share two dogs.

The former couple also co-own two houses.

“I have to see him, it’s not like I’ll never see him again,” she said. “There’s no nastiness or anything and that’s the main thing, I guess.”

Jess and Denny became engaged in November 2016 when he proposed during a holiday to Las Vegas.

He’s yet to comment on the split, but Jess told The Sun he’d sent her a good luck text message when he found out she was doing CBB.

The star entered the all-female house on Tuesday night.

The female-only launch night was to mark 100 years since women got the vote.

Eight ladies entered the famous house in Borehamwood and will live in a girls-only environment until the men start arriving from Friday onwards.

And already there have been plenty of interesting chats (and rows).

As well as Ann Widdecombe and India Willoughby bickering over whether or not beds were assigned, viewers saw a discussion between the ladies on the subject of nudity.

While Ann was against it, Jess wasn’t.

She said: “I’ve done it. I haven’t showed my actual bits but I’ve done calendars and been completely nude. I think, I work hard at the gym so I’ll show it, why not?

“It’s my choice to do it so off I went and off I did it.”

CBB airs nightly at 9pm on Channel 5.
