John James starred on Big Brother in UK in 2010 and had a relationship with winner Josie Gibson

“Ex-girlfriends would say I was manipulative, they felt insecure and that they couldn’t trust me – even if I hadn’t done anything,” JJ, 32, admits. “I’ve never cheated.”

Since his very public heartbreak in 2011, he’s sadly failed to find love again.

“[My friends] call me Johnny three-months,” the hunk told NW before crashing the villa.

“I fall for girls quite deep, quite quick. But I also get out just as quickly. My last girlfriend was 19, so there was definitely excitement there, but you get over watching Toy Story and Buzz Lightyear and that… It’s hard to maintain a progression with someone that’s so young.”

The couple even landed their own spin off series… until Josie accused JJ of cheating and it all fell apart

Hmmm… JJ may regret saying that when he discovers he’s the only cast member older than 30!

Discussing the type of girl he’s hoping to couple up with on the show, John concludes, “Like a best friend you want to bang! [But] I’m pretty open… I’ve been with bigger girls, skinny girls, girls that look like they’re on heroin, girls that look like they’ve been to Hungry Jacks nine times a year – it doesn’t really matter.”
