Sam Reece is said to be "devastated" after the former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress hooked up with the Irish male model on the Channel 5 reality series, and The Sun claims that he wants nothing more to do with her.
And despite Stephanie also being up for eviction, Sam was not present at the show’s Elstree studios in Hertfordshire to support her in the event she was kicked out.
Host Emma Willis revealed that the production team had not been able to make contact with him.
He instead chose to make a personal appearance at a nightclub in Kent, alongside former ‘CBB’ star Megan McKenna.
However, she took to Twitter to slam Sam after meeting him at Pure nightclub, writing: "When you do a Pa and someone's 'ex' boyfriend and there tag team thinks there A listers [sic]."
A source had claimed to The Mirror that it was a “calculated move” of Sam's to be at the same appearance as Megan.
"Stephanie will hope Megan knows better than to allow anything happen between her and Sam. I mean, just take a look back at who he's dated in the past. He has a type and that's any girl in the public eye.
"He's been getting so much attention while Stephanie has been on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and that kind of fame is addictive,” they added.
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 5.
Sam appeared on Channel 4 dating show ‘First Dates’ in 2015, when he was matched with Kathleen Stevens, and it looked like the pair hadn't hit it off. However, while Sam admitted that he wasn’t romantically interested in Kathleen, he later claimed that the show was edited to make it look like they didn’t get on. “I thought she was a lovely girl and we had a really good laugh, it was just really heavily edited,” he told Heat magazine. “I feel like I’ve been made out to be like a stereotypical model, which I’m not.” (credit:Channel 4)

After Sam appeared on ‘First Dates’, he received death threats for asking his date to pay half the bill, when it became clear a second card wasn’t on the cards. "I couldn’t believe some of the reaction from people on Twitter,” he told The Mirror. “I had death threats, one person said that the next time I come out in Manchester I’m dead." Defending his decision, he added: “It was a really expensive meal, like £350, and I knew I wasn’t going to see her again, so what’s wrong with asking her to split the bill?” (credit:Channel 4)

Before he started dating Stephanie, it seems that Sam was a bit of a lothario, boasting many notches on his bedpost. He said in an interview with The Sun in March 2015: “I have absolutely no idea about the amount of women I’ve slept with, I can’t remember. We are well beyond that.” (credit:Instagram)

Before Stephanie entered the ‘Big Brother’ house, she shared a little too much information about just how close her and Sam were. “Even if I go for a poo, we speak to each other – there are no boundaries,” she said, like it was something to brag about. Ew. (credit:Instagram)
