Reality star Chanelle Hayes has finally revealed what happened with her and Ziggy between the sheets during her time in Big Brother.
The 26-year-old, who appeared on the show in 2007, admits she lied and did in fact have sex with her fellow reality star every day in the Big Brother house.
In extracts from her new book Baring My Heart, appearing in Now! Magazine she reveals: 'I fell madly in love. One thing led to another and yes, we had sex in the house – every day, in fact, for about three weeks!'
Truth be told: Chanelle Hayes has revealed she did have sex with Ziggy during her time in Big Brother
The mother-of-one, who was just 19 at the time she entered the show, continued: 'We did it in the shower and in bed – spooning quietly under the duvet.'
However, when she left the house she wasn't quite ready to speak about it openly… until now.
She explains: 'I left the house I denied it. I hated lying but didn't want to come across as a slag.

Chanelle and Ziggy, real name Zach Lichman, had a very tempestuous relationship during their time in the house, during which they split up and got back together on a number of occasions.
On day 61 of the series, she left the show to visit a psychologist and although she did return to the house, she left the following day.
The pair stayed together for about six months after the show, however Chanelle now believes he only stayed with her to make money from magazine deals.
Extracts from the book published by the magazine also reveal she had an abortion after her then boyfriend threatened her, shortly before BB.
Chanelle, who now is the mother to a little boy called Blake with Jake Tweed, admits that she found the guilt too much and started to starve herself.
She shared: 'Afterwards, I was overwhelmed with guilt and racked with self-loathing. I starved myself to 6st 12lb as punishment, surviving on an apple a day and hitting the gym.'
