'It's over': Jennifer gives Dale the bad news
Related Articles
27 June 2008
It appears the romance between Big Brother's Jennifer Clark and Dale Howard is over before it even began.
After endless discussions with fellow housemates Lisa, Mario and a rather tipsy Dennis, Jennifer took Dale into the bedroom to discuss their relationship.
The part time model, 22, revealed that her flirtation with Dale,21, and the other men in the house has made her nervous about public perception, particularly from female viewers.
Jennifer said: "You've said from day one that you had feelings for me. I've started to pick up vibes from Stuart as well.
"I feel like **** because I'm attracting it and I'm not trying to.
"It's made me feel very uncomfortable and it's ruining my experience.
"Yesterday I didn't want to put make-up on, I don't want to be found attractive. I'm a single parent and I want to be a midwife -- this is not me.
Show of affection: Dale and Jennifer have a heart to heart
"Women will hate me because of this situation, and it's not something I've encouraged."
But Jennifer could be sending mixes messages as several minutes later, she sat down for a cuddle.
Dale said: "I understand the situation you're in. It's ****,"
"The majority of the camera is on you. But you've spoken to me throughout this as a friend. You haven't led anyone on."
An hour later the saga was still unfolding, as the pair discussed the possibility of a relationship. Jennifer told Dale that she can't get involved with anyone unless she knows that it has long-term potential.
"I don't want you to think I'm being frivolous," responded Dale.
Despite being touchy-feely, Jennifer insists she won't get involved with Dale unless it's serious
"I don't want it to be something over a stretch of weeks or months. I want it to be more than that."
Jennifer replied: "It's just a really high-pressure situation. You have to understand beforehand, or it's just pointless and it's not fair on other people,
"I don't want to annoy you by saying that I understand, but don't think that I haven't considered things like that," said Dale patiently.
Jennifer has recently come under scrutiny for missing a divorce hearing while being in the house.
She split from her husband David, 24, in April and has placed their daughter Maddiline in the care of her parents while she takes part in the Channel 4 programme.
Since entering the house, Jennifer appears to be getting over her recent marriage split by flirting up a storm with Dale.
Catholic Jennifer appeared at the initial divorce hearing in her native County Durham just a day before she entered the Big Brother compound.
But when she failed to attend a second hearing last week, a judge ordered Jennifer to explain why she didn't tell the court she was going on the show.
