Big Brother Dale Howard has ended his relationship with fellow house mate Jennifer Clark amid claims he now has eyes for former contestant Chantelle Houghton.

Dale says he ended his four-week relationship with the single mother, who is still legally married to David Clark, because their relationship had grown too complicated.

His spokesperson confirms: 'He and Jen are no longer an item.

'They want to make sure they stay friends to enjoy the finale tonight and the wrap party together next week.'

But reports claim the 21-year-old called off their relationship after falling for Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle, whose own reality TV romance with Samuel Preston ended in divorce.

Dale first crossed paths with the former Paris Hilton look alike on a night out with fellow evictee Stuart Pilkington and both were seen at Chinawhite earlier this week.

Jen's representative added on Thursday: 'I have been made aware that Jen and Dale are no longer together, but I am sure they will always remain great friends.'

Jen and Dale began flirting in their first week in the house and within days, they had both admitted they fancied one another.  

And when 22-year-old Jen was evicted in week four, he spent the rest of his time pining after her.
