Ziggy: Chanelle and I are for real - Sept 18 2007
Ziggy Lichman has apparently dismissed rumours that he and Chanelle are on the rocks - insisting their union is "for real".

The former boyband member told new! magazine: "We can’t believe people think we’d make something like that up. We wouldn’t do something like that. It’s completely for real and we’re enjoying each other’s company and getting to know each other without the cameras."

The star - who enjoyed an on-off union with the blonde whilst they were in the Big Brother house - added that he thinks there is less pressure of them now they are away from the cameras.

"It’s much easier now," he explained. "It’s just really different and less pressure, so we’ll see what happens."

The 26-year-old denied rumours of a "massive bust-up" last week.

"We had a tiff but it was blown way out of proportion," he insisted. "Everyone has little rows and that’s all it was. It not over between us I promise! We made up and had a great weekend!"


Ziggy dated Scarlett? - July 19 2007
Big Brother housemate Ziggy apparently went on a date with Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson - after she asked him out.

The model caught the 22-year-old’s eye when she visited the Movida night club where he was working.

She then arranged to meet him at a restaurant for lunch the next day - and Ziggy couldn’t stop bragging about it to his pals, reports The Sun.

One friend said: "Ziggy couldn’t believe his luck. He was bursting to tell us all that he’d managed to pull Scarlett. Ziggy knew she was coming into the club and he really put the groundwork in with her.

"He laid the charm on thick - he knows how to work the ladies.

"But even we were shocked that Scarlett fell for it hook, line and sinker.

"He had her giggling all night with his flirting - and as she was leaving she asked him out.

"He came up to me and said: ’You’ll never believe who I’m going out for lunch with!’

"He was always on with some girl or another, but by the grin on his face I could tell this was something special.

"Ziggy was boasting to everyone that Scarlett had asked him out. He’s such a jammy bloke, no matter who the girls are they can’t seem to resist him."


Dan lifts the lid on Ziggy romance - July 3 2007
Ziggy’s best pal Dan Corsi has apparently revealed why he thinks the model’s relationship with Chanelle isn’t destined to last.

Dan, 32, who himself has had is fair share of celebrity relationships - including a fling with Karry Katona, said that whilst he thinks the romance is genuine he’s not sure if it will run the distance.

Speaking to New! magazine, the 32-year-old said: "She’s pretty... but he hasn’t seen her acting up in the Diary Room like I have. Once he sees her crying over the hair straighteners, he won’t be impressed."

Also, the Posh wannabe’s pouting may put his former Northern Line bandmate off, Dan added.

"If she comes out of the house posing like Posh, he’ll be like, ’Oh stop f****** posing’. But you never know, Chanelle might be using Ziggy and could end up giving him the elbow."

Slamming rumours that Ziggy is using her, Dan explained: "I think it is a load of s***. She’s a pretty girl and they hit it off. I don’t think he’s used her."
