Search: SHOWBIZ CBB Adams Ben doesn't deny Michelle crush SE
Ben Adams didn't deny fancying fellow housemate Michelle Heaton during his time in the Big Brother house.
When quizzed on the "Benchelle" topic by Davina McCall, he didn't deny the fact and simply said: "She's got a lovely boyfriend...she's a lovely girl."
Ben had spent a lot of time with Michelle, leading some housemates to speculate on their feelings for each other. But while some, such as La Toya Jackson, did it on the quiet, others said it to them over and over again.
This upset Michelle but Ben did not let it get to him. He simply told Big Brother he was not attracted to her and that he would never want to split her up from her boyfriend.
Ben also admitted to Davina that he had been able to come out of himself a bit more towards the end of his time in the house.
"When people tend to be very noisy, I tend to go into my shell a bit... as there were less people it made me be a bit more vocal than when I first went in," said Ben - who was often criticised by housemates for being too quiet.

to say about Coolio, who was the most outspoken in his speculation about Ben and Michelle liking each other - and who some female housemates took objection to."He's very funny. He's had a lot of experiences in his life that I haven't. It was interesting," he said.
Ben added he was surprised to be in the final five but pleased to have made it so far.
Neither did he regret his time in the house, a lot of which was spent doing various silly tasks.
He most memorably dressed up as a big green dinosaur for the toys task and was told by Big Brother that he had an hour to scare someone. He ended up frightening the life out of Ulrika Jonsson by hiding under a duvet in the bedroom and jumping out - passing his part of the task.
The green dinosaur head reappeared for the Big Brother movie task when he and Michelle sent up the rumours of them being a couple. In their scene, Michelle was in the bath - apparently topless - and La Toya came in to ask where Ben was. As she left the bathroom, Ben emerged - wearing the dinosaur head, and the two pretended to kiss.
The former A1 member's musical talents came in handy too. He got the ladies hot under the collar when he sang one of the band's songs for the very first talent task, and he composed the melody for the Big Brother rap - with help from Coolio and La Toya.
His wholesome good looks lent what Tina Malone described as "eye candy" to the house, but whether Michelle agrees is yet to be seen.
