THE heartbroken girlfriend of flirting BB star Luke Marsden has dumped him today — on his 21st birthday.

Devastated Gina Bannister, 17, has had to watch her fella kiss and cuddle housemate Rebecca live on telly.

The sweethearts, who have been dating since February, were madly in love before Luke said he was going to London for jury service — only to appear on Big Brother.

Now tearful Gina has told The Sun it’s all over — because she cannot bear seeing his saucy flirting with Bex.

Last night she said: “I don’t think Luke and Bex have had sex but they have been caught kissing and that left me in tears.

“Luke is a great guy, funny, charming and I thought we had something special before he disappeared to go into the house. He told his family about Big Brother but not me — he lied and said he had to go to London for a few weeks on jury service.

“Next thing I know he was on my TV — but I stayed loyal and printed up T-shirts to support him and wore them round my college.

“Now he is walking all over me by kissing Bex and I’ve had enough.

“It’s his 21st birthday on Wednesday and his present from me is being dumped because I just can’t take the humiliation any more.”

Pretty college student Gina met wrestling MC Luke last summer when they both worked part-time in a bread factory in their hometown of Wigan, Greater Manchester.

After months of friendship the pair finally started dating in February — and a week later on Valentine’s Day Luke presented Gina with a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a card.
Inside he wrote: “Gina, I’m very glad we got together. You have made me happy in a short amount of time. I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day, love Luke xxx.”

Gina then saved up her £35-a-week Saturday job wages to treat them to a weekend in London and £60-a-head tickets to see the stage musical Wicked. But in May he dropped the bombshell that he had to go to the capital for a few weeks of jury service — and Gina believed him.

She explained: “He studies politics at university so I knew he would take jury service very seriously.

“Next thing I know it was a Thursday and he was walking into the Big Brother house — I was speechless.

“The next day his sister Chloe and I had lots of T-shirts printed up saying ‘Support Luke’ and I was actually proud — even if I was lied to.

“But as time has gone on I feel like he’s walked all over me. Why didn’t he tell me he was going in like he told his family?

“I knew I loved him because I missed him so much but he has acted like he’s single and because I’m 17 I’m not allowed to go to the Big Brother eviction nights
If I meant that much to him, how come he never talks about me?

“Now to see him kiss Bex has been really difficult. I do not understand why he is doing this to us. He is being so selfish.

“Clearly winning £100,000 is more important to him than being my boyfriend.”
Teetotaller Luke, who will celebrate his 21st with a party tonight, is unaware of Gina’s anger. She added: “He is not the person I thought he was — he must know I’d be watching so why would he cuddle under a duvet with another woman?

“He is being flirty and bitchy and I never knew he was like that. It’s too late for him to apologise now though — I want to move on. He seems to have done that already.”

Yesterday leading bookmaker Sky Bet put 6/1 odds on Luke and Bex to bonk in the house by the end of the series.

This follows the pair’s passionate kiss on Friday and Bex’s admission that she could not cope without Luke if he had to leave to seek external medical assistance after he fell ill.

A Sky Bet spokesman said: “Luke and Bex’s relationship has really come on in the past few weeks, leading to their cheeky kiss. Who knows, maybe Luke will get more than he bargained for on his 21st birthday!”
