How would you feel if one of your ex's was on BB? Especially if you saw them getting flirty with a fellow contestant.

I started thinking about this on another thread when we were talking about Big G having a nation glad he was dumped, but having a former partner talking about their past, their sex life or getting together with someone new would all be pretty wierd.

Assuming I didn't have any real contact with him anymore, I'd probably encourage my friends to keep quiet. It would depend on how serious the relationship was, but you'd risk having the tabloids seeking you out for some gossip. I definitely wouldn't be selling my story, but we all know how easy it is for them to get quotes from 'friends' if people aren't on their guard.

It's probaby really shallow, but if people at work didn't know who they were I'd not say anything for a bit. I'd perhaps say I knew them through friends or something vague, so as not to lie completely, but it could get really stressful if they turned out to be a person the country thought was the biggest loser in the land. It must have been really hard for Liz's friends having her slagged on the radio most days and people in the street assuming you too think she's awful. It might be hard, but can you imagine being an ex-boyfriend - especially seeing what she replaced you with!
