Big Brother contestant Laura Carter has admitted to sleeping with her fellow housemate Marco Pierre White Jr on the Channel 5 show.
The pair – who entered the house a week ago – were seen in bed together after White had begged her to 'strangle' him in the pod.
Recalling the encounter in scenes which will air on Wednesday night, Carter told Lateysha Grace: “It wasn’t full blown sex, but we had sex basically. Straight after it happened he said ‘Oh my God! What’s my family and my fiancée going to say?’
“I was like mate, you can’t say this now. I think he feels guilty. It’s like he’s washed his hands of me.”
Carter also addressed her bedroom antics in a separate discussion with housemates in which she admitted: “When we were in bed together the other night, we had sex.”
White claimed he had been given a “hall pass” by his fianceé Kim Melville-Smith and told Carter that he is in an open relationship – something Melville-Smith has denied on Twitter.
Viewers slammed show bosses for airing clips of the pair in bed with some branded them "scum" while others called for White to be axed.
