The former 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' star has been living with both Andy and her ex Harry, as well as his friend and fellow swimmer Michael Gunning, during lockdown.

Harry and Rebecca split in 2016 after 18 months of marriage, but they are on good terms and he came out as bisexual during lockdown.

He said: "This is a question I've avoided everyday of my life so far, mainly because I strongly dislike labels despite not knowing a solution to avoid them.

"But if I had to answer I would people that I've always been bisexual."

Rebecca recently admitted Summer "gets the best of both worlds" while spending time with her and Harry.

The star explained: "She goes to Harry's for three days, she comes to mine for three days. We have co-parented really well and found our routine. She gets the best of both worlds."
