George asked Caroline if she had any children, to which she responded: “I couldn’t have them because I had cancer.

“But I never fell in love and then when I knew I couldn’t have them, that’s why I couldn’t be bothered to get married because I didn’t see much point because you get married, have your children and all of that stuff.

“I love kids though, I love them, I am a kid,” she joked before explaining further: “I have nothing, my mum and dad have got no grandchildren but that’s life innit.”

Caroline’s revelation comes after she told her fellow housemates about her secret breast cancer battle she faced years before entering the house.

The PR Executive discussed how she had undergone surgery during her illness but felt she “should be dead” after the disease took over.

Speaking with Feyisola in the bedroom, her co-star complimented her breasts to which Caroline quipped: “Oh they aren’t real because I had breast cancer.

“I should be dead; I should be dead. If I hadn’t have gone when I did…”

Feyisola asked more about her time with the condition and why Caroline decided to have her boobs checked out to which she responded: “I was playing with my necklace.

“I had a cross necklace on and I just thought [feeling her chest], ‘oh, what is that, there?’.

“I went to the doctor and he sent me to the hospital. The woman went, ‘oh my god’. “I had a lumpectomy.

“I still have my nipples thank god. But he put a boob in there and then he said, ‘I might as well put a boob in there too’.”

Caroline started her career in celebrity PR and has rubbed shoulders with a slew of stars over the years.

She was also previously involved with TV presenter, Matthew Wright.

They dated from 2003 while Matthew was hosting his own Channel 5 show The Wright Stuff.

In 2005, while out with Matthew and her mum in Primrose Hill, north London, Caroline was the victim of a “happy slapping” attack.

At the time, she had suffered hair loss from breast cancer treatment and was called a “slaphead” and knocked to the ground by a gang of teenagers.

“Happy slapping” was a new crime phenomenon in the early 2000s where gangs attacked random victims and filmed it on mobile phones.

 

In her introduction video during Sunday night’s launch show, Caroline revealed she’s been engaged five times, adding: “I’ve tried to live with men and I just can’t.

“There’s something wrong with them.”
