'I've met a lot of superficial girls who were all over me when I came out of the house. It was terrible, But Gemma was genuine. After we'd been seeing each other for a week, she said "it's nice going out and all that, but can't we just stay in together?" That's when I knew it was proper, because she wasn't just interested in being seen with me,' he explained.

George, his mum Linda and her husband Pete became instant favourites with Gogglebox viewers when they joined the show in September 2013.

But a year later they were forced to leave the series when George chose to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house on rival Channel 5, deemed a rule break by producers.

George, who finished in fourth place on CBB and later had a brief fling with housemate Edele Lynch of B*Witched, has admitted that he couldn't turn down the opportunity to make a reported £100,000 from the reality show, despite it meaning he and his family had to leave Gogglebox.

George has insisted he understands the show's decision, explaining: 'I think the producers thought I'd get big-headed and they want normal people. If they don't keep it the way it is, the don't have a show. It was a hard decision, but every hour I spent in the CBB house I earned double what I would for a whole day on a building site, so I had to do it.'

The star admits that he has blown most of his CBB fee, losing £12,000 in one night at a casino, and is now back working as an electrician.
