From Digital Spy

Congratulations are in order for Celebrity Big Brother's Ben Jardine, as he's become a dad for the first time!

In a surprising twist, Ben's good friend Lizzie Cundy announced the news on FUBAR Radio, telling listeners that he's now a father.

"Breaking news! Congratulations, Ben Jardine. He is a father," Lizzie announced. "Had a little baby girl. I don't know if he wants me to announce it but I just have" (!).

Confirming that she received the news via WhatsApp, Lizzie went on to admit she has no idea who the mother is.

"Not the one he married in the show," she said, referring to Married at First Sight.

"Not the one he went out with after, it's the other one."

Digital Spy has reached out to Ben's representative for comment.

Meanwhile, new dad Ben recently revealed he is considering taking legal action against Married at First Sight, after what he described as a "damaging" experience on the reality-series-cum-science-experiment.

"I thought that production company were going to find me true love, but instead it's been a nightmare," he said, adding that he was also having therapy.

"It's really impacted on my life and I feel my reputation has been damaged. I married a stranger and it didn't work out."

A spokesperson for Married at First Sight said in response: "All of the contributors who apply are fully aware at the application process of the nature of the programme and are matched by experts on a range of criteria which is explicit in the show.

"Throughout the process each stage was made fully transparent to Ben and he also consented to his participation at each stage."
