Calum Best is arguably a good looking man however it seems that within the confines of the Celebrity Big Brother house the female contestants are finding him truly irresistible.

We're used to (and secretly enjoy a Big Brother showmance) however the action in the Celebrity version of the house is more like wild animals fighting for a mate than any real affection shining through.

Viewers watched on astonished as Chloe Ferry, Jessica Cunnigham and Stacy Francis pawed at Calum, who has said he wants to put his playboy past behind him, and even got upset in the diary room last week when Coleen Nolan brought up his past.

As Jessica revealed to Chloe she also had feelings for Calum, the pair fought for attention from the former Love Island star. Geordie Shore star Chloe took things a step further when she sat on Calum's knee and attempted to kiss him.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their shock...

Even Eamonn Holmes waded in...

Others took to Twitter to voice their concerns that if the roles were reversed would there be more of an outcry?

Last night’s show ended with Chloe venting her anger at fellow housemate Jessica for flirting with Calum after she’d expressed her interest in him.

With another eviction looming later in the week, will the rest of the house get sick of Chloe’s antics?

Celebrity Big Brother continues every night on Channel 5.
