It could be one of the shortest celebrity romances to be played out on reality television.

Celebrity Big Brother contestants Casey Batchelor and Lee Ryan have apparently called time on their brief union.

The couple were seen getting extremely close in recent days after being handcuffed together when they entered the Big Brother house.

But glamour model Batchelor, 28, has told fellow housemates Sam Faiers and Ollie Locke that following a conversation with boyband member Ryan yesterday, the pair were no longer an item.

Commenting on rumours of a love triangle between them and American model Jasmine Waltz, she said: "I don't think he wants to be perceived on the outside world as a bad person, which I completely understand.

"So he was like 'Maybe we should just, you know, just leave it?' and I was like 'That's cool'."

Hours before, Ryan, 30, told Waltz and former Apprentice runner-up Luisa Zissman that he no longer wanted to share a bed with Batchelor.

He said: "I just don't want it. It's not what I'm here for. I'm not here to have a f***ing relationship live on TV.

"It makes me sick - the idea of that. You can't run anywhere either. Normally I just run."

Waltz jokingly responded; "You've got a stage five clinger", prompting Ryan to say; "I don't think it's her either. We were put together - do you know what I mean? And we've got to face eviction together as well. She is really sweet and she's a lovely girl."

Both Batchelor and Ryan are facing eviction on Wednesday, along with Luisa, former boxer Evander Holyfield, singer Dappy and journalist Liz Jones.
