He was slammed by viewers during his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house when he took his wedding ring off and failed to mention to any of his housemates that he has a wife, but it looks like Jermaine Pennant's flirtatious antics with Chloe Ayling have left him well and truly in the dog house with his wife Alice Goodwin.

During his short stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house, the former footballer struck up a close friendship with Chloe, even sending her secret notes using her makeup. However, after Chloe discovered she was about to be evicted, Jermaine put his wedding ring back ON and started to tell his fellow housemates he's been married for four years.

When he left the house in a shock eviction on Tuesday night's show, Jermaine pleaded his innocence with Emma Willis, admitting he thought everybody knew he was married.

He told Emma, "Nothing actually physically happened...I never once said I am single...I thought she knew I was married."

The 35-year-old then admitted he will need to 'explain himself' to his wife, adding, "Probably, but again it's one side of the story...if I have to explain myself then I'll do that. In this house everything is magnified...it's unbelievable."

BUT NOW, just days after his eviction, Jermaine's wife Alice has reportedly been left very upset by his flirty antics and she's currently staying with a family member.

According to the Daily Mirror, a friend of the pair has reportedly claimed there’s a 50/50 chance of them staying together, after Jermaine tried to say it was all 'banter'.

The friend told the publication, "Jermaine totally embarrassed Alice with his antics, he really needs to grow up and be a bit more mature, he has a beautiful wife who had to listen to people constantly talking about his behaviour in the house.

"I think it’s 50/50 whether they will stay together, Jermaine will have to pull out all the stops to keep her."

They then added, "I think they are going to meet again tomorrow but flowers and chocolates ain't going to win her over, Jermaine has to show how much he wants her."

Oh dear! 😬

Meanwhile, luckily for Jermaine, his antics in the house were slightly overlooked by the drama between former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet and former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas.

After Roxanne accused Ryan of being a 'woman beater', despite footage showing he barely touched her during a 'play fight'. Roxy decided to QUIT the show and later told Emma Willis she is the 'most hated girl in Britain'.

Since then, a number of Roxanne's fellow co-stars have slammed the actress, including Lucy Pargeter, Jason Gardiner and more than 20 of her former Emmerdale co-stars.

With the final of Celebrity Big Brother taking place next week, another eviction will take place on Friday night, with the civilian version of the show starting on Friday 14th September.

Celebrity Big Brother continues every night at 9pm on Channel 5.
