Rejected: Renee Graziano reportedly approached Stephen Bear and asked him to fake a romantic encounter with her in order to get more air time on Celebrity Big Brother
When host Emma Willis asked why there was so much tension between Renee and Bear, Chloe claimed that the US star asked Bear to make 'a thing' for the show.
Asked if she had any proof, the busty brunette responded: 'What she'd said to Bear about making it a thing for the show. She said it to me before, on Whatsapp.'
A representative for Renee - who is managed by the same PR company as Chloe - told MailOnline: 'When Chloe's name was leaked to the press about her joining CBB, Renee messaged her to ask if the speculation was true. Chloe denied she was entering the house as did Renee.
'Renee told Chloe if they were to do a TV show together one day though, they could "put on a show" together.. Neither of them actually knew the other was doing CBB before entering the house, as they knew it had to be kept confidential because Endemol/Channel 5 keep the line-up top-secret. .

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Channel 5 told MailOnline: 'Before entering the Big Brother house, housemates are told to keep their status confidential.
'Big Brother was not previously aware of any contact between housemates before they entered the house.'
But Twitter went into meltdown after Chloe made the comment, with some viewers questioning whether it showed the series was fixed.

'Chloe just dropped the show in it!' one fan tweeted, 'She was chatting tactics with Renee on Whatsapp!' whilst another added: 'SHE SAID IT TO YOU ON WHATSAPP?? what's going on BB?'
One viewer noted: 'So they all go into the house acting like they don't know each other but they've been in whatsapp groups together #cbb #fix.'
Former Big Brother housemate Georgina Leigh Cantwell also seemed shocked as she asked: 'Did Chloe just say that her & Renee were in a whatsapp before the show and agreed about a showmance ?'
Another curious fan merely added: 'I wanna be in that Whatsapp group.'
Giving it away: As soon as Chloe was free from the house she had no kind words to say about Renee as she insisted the star didn't like her because she had ruined her showmance plan
Oh dear: Twitter went into meltdown after Chloe made the comment, with some viewers questioning whether it showed the series was fixed
Confused: Former Big Brother housemate Georgina Leigh Cantwell also seemed shocked
Searching for answers: Viewers were left baffled and wanting an explanation
Curious: One viewer said they'd love to read all the messages sent from Renee
Caught out: One viewer questioned if the show was a fix or not
Appearing on spin off show Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side, host Rylan Clark offered Chloe the chance to explain herself as he noted the reaction to her comments on social media.
She explained: 'I didn't know Renee before she Whatsapped me,' revealing that she ignored the message that supposedly read: 'Youve got the boobs I've got an a**e let's do the show.'
She added: 'I know she messaged Bear too.'
Something in common: Renee is managed by the same PR company as Chloe and viewers have seen her have several arguments with the Playboy bunny and her beau
In for the long haul: Chloe said she would like to continue seeing Bear on the outside
