Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe Goodman has spoken out for the first time since leaving the UK’s most house.

During her stay, American child star Jeremy Jackson was thrown out of the house after groping the model in the toilets.

The 21-year-old has now admitted that her experience with Jeremy brought back ‘haunting’ memories of a previous sexual assault.

When the Ex on the Beach star was just 18, she as attacked by a photographer.

Chloe told The Sun: “Anyone who says I over-reacted doesn’t know what it’s like to be totally powerless at the hands of a man.

“I was absolutely terrified and it brought all those painful memories back. I consider myself a strong woman, but in that moment with Jeremy, I couldn’t do anything.

“I was terrified. It took me right back to when it happened before. That incident when I was 18 really affected me. I thought I had dealt with it, but I obviously haven’t.”

The photographer allegedly tried to make Chloe pose in positions that she wasn’t comfortable with. He then sexually assaulted her.

“He put his hand down my knickers. I was absolutely stunned — I didn’t know what to do. I was s***ing myself, but I managed to get away.

“I got my phone out and I pretended I was speaking to my mum and that she was outside to pick me up, then I ran out of the studios.”

Chloe was too scared to report the incident to the police.

“I didn’t want to go to the police, because I knew if it went to court I would relive the whole thing. I never wanted to see his face again.”

Jeremy has since been pictured apologising to Chloe’s sister, Lauryn, but has now flown back to his home in the US.
