CELEBRITY Big Brother's Ashley James and Ginuwine are beginning to turn up the romance - by holding hands and even discussing sharing a bed.

In new sneak peek clips, RnB star Ginuwine can be seen sat on the sofa next to Ashley before gently taking her hand in his.

He has also joked with housemates that there's room for the model in his bed, before admitting in the Diary Room that they could end up "kissing in the spa".

Viewers have watched the pair growing close in recent days and these latest clips prove things are starting to go up a notch.

While chatting with fellow housemates on in the living area, Ginuwine can be seen smiling wryly at Ashley, 30, before stroking her fingers with his.

The dad-of-nine then goes one step further and holds her hand, as Dapper Laughs tells the group about his upcoming film.

Once the conversation has come to an end, the contestants suggest asking whether to question 47-year-old Ginuwine next about his life.

But while still holding his hand, Ashley tells the group: "Ginuwine is sleeping."

Not letting go of their clinch, the US star can be heard murmuring.

Later, in another clip, the pair can be seen joking about sharing a bed together while chatting with their fellow housemates in the kitchen.
Rachel Johnson tells Ginuwine that she "saw what was going on" on the sofa, before adding: "I'm not leaving my bed for Ginuwine!"

Hugging her pal, Ashley tells her: "You're not leaving my bed, you're my bed lover."

Ginuwine then hints: "I've got my own bed..."

Dappy Laughs accuses Rachel of "c**k-blocking" Ginuwine, before she replies: "I am I'm going to carry on c**k-blocking!"

Ashley then declares: "Wait, no one is swapping beds!"

In the Diary Room, Ginuwine has told Big Brother that he and Ashley have "made a connection".

He said: "Me and Ashley made a great connection last night, I think she will be a friend that I talk to a lot.

"For some reason we just ended up on the couch for hours talking, we definitely made some type of connection - friends, I don't know, whatever.

"She said she's going to come over to the States, so if I'm home she's gonna come up and we're going to hang out."

He added: "I'm a person who wants to be friends first before anything else.

"But you never know what can happen, you might find us kissing in the spa, who knows!"

well done Rachel
