Big Brother housemate Dale Howard has said that he felt he was being "used" by his former partner Jennifer Clark.

The pair struck up a relationship on Big Brother this summer.

After being voted out of the house by the public, Howard spent his first night of freedom on the phone to Clark and the couple went on to date for a few weeks.

Howard, 21, has now revealed that he did not feel the relationship was genuine.

"I didn't trust her fully or know what her intentions were. I didn't want to be in what people might have seen as a fake relationship, even though my intentions were honourable.

"Every time she [Jen] was on a front cover, she was talking about me. I really did feel used. I was sad it ended, but deep down I knew I was doing the right thing," Howard told New! magazine.
