The 34-year-old reality star is so loved up with the model that he has even introduced her to his mother.

‘My mum can see how crazy I am about Ianthe, and she’s thrilled that she’s come into my life at a really good time because everything is positive and I’m in a really good place’ explained Calum.

‘I have honestly never felt this strongly about anyone before or wanted to evolve a relationship as much as I do this one. And that feels really great.’

Viewers expected Calum and housmate Cami to hook up

Viewers of 2015’s CBB may be confused at Calum’s latest revelations, seeing as he and Cami Li seemed destined for a showmance throughout the programme.

But Calum said being apart from the stunning model only made him care about her more.

'I have never been so desperate to see someone as I was by the end of that four weeks.’

‘What is it they say? Distance makes the heart grow fonder?

'And it’s true, because I have never been so desperate to see someone as I was by the end of that four weeks.’

It appears the feeling is mutual, with Ianthe saying: ‘What I know of him so far is that he is the sweetest, kindest, most considerate man I have ever been involved with. He is, as people are now realising, a real gentleman and I find that really refreshing.’
