Stephen Mortimer was sent back to prison for 28 days while Gemma was in the house after allegedly breaching his licence terms by moving into her house. The terms of his release stated that he must reside at his sister’s home.

During the reality TV star’s appearance on Loose Women today (Feb 4), Andrea McLean asked her what her relationship status is now.

When an emotional Gem whispered: “Can we not talk about that?” in response, the panel were quick to comfort her, with Vicky Pattison getting up to give her a big hug.

Gemma then explained: “I came out the house… god this is so embarrassing.

“Obviously a situation has happened and I’m just not ready to deal with it right now.”

The Express reports that she added: “People forget that I’m a normal girl and have problems with my love life. There’s lots of things happening.”

Unaware of what has been going on outside the house, the TOWIE star had told housemates how excited she was about seeing her boyfriend as she was evicted on Tuesday.

During her time in the house, allegations that Stephen cheated on Gemma also emerged.

It’s claimed Stephen slept with Rebecca Smith behind Gemma’s back, with Rebecca telling The Sun: “He is desperate to be famous and is only using Gemma for her celebrity status.

“I was devastated to find out that he was two-timing us. I feel used.”
