Rumoured Celebrity Big Brother contestant and Married at First Sight guinea pig Ben Jardine is apparently expecting his first child. He doesn’t move slowly, this one.
Ben, who recently announced that he and his First Sight wife Stephanie were divorcing, confirmed the news to The Sun, saying it will be ‘the making of him’.
Conveniently hitting the headlines ahead of his expected Celebrity Big Brother appearance, Ben called the news “beautiful”, adding, “I have been blessed.”

“They say ‘God loves to turn purposeless chaos into something beautiful’ and he (or she) really has in my life!” he said. “I have been blessed. Out of all the chaos of this past year something beautiful has happened, which I will forever protect and be grateful for.”
Departing yet more wisdom, Ben added: “I never thought it would happen to me. Everything happens for a reason. It’s going to make a man out of me and I’ll be a great dad.”
Ben first hit our screens in Channel 4’s experimental series Married at First Sight, which very much does what it says on the tin.
After committing to Stephanie in a moment of apparent wedded bliss, Ben dropped the bombshell back in March that the couple had decided to split despite their promising start.
“Stephanie and I are still friends but I couldn’t give her what she wanted and what she needed, and time is of the essence,” he said. “And why waste someone’s time if it’s not there?”
“It killed me,” he added. “After the end of the show we were giving it a go, but as my mum said, you don’t know someone until you’ve lived with them.”
Speaking of living with strangers, Celebrity Big Brother will start tomorrow (August 16) at 9pm on Channel 5.
