John James Parton has admitted that he does have a new girlfriend, but is hoping to keep her identity a secret from Josie Gibson and her legions of fans.

The Big Brother star had been dating his former housemate since last September and had been living with her until he dumped her at the end of March.

He then took off to the bosom of his family in Australia, but last week returned to the UK and the arms of his new woman.

So who is this girl that’s broken up JJJ?

John James isn’t saying. He told Now:

‘She’s a Brit and a year younger than me.’

‘She didn’t watch Big Brother, which is a big plus as I was painted as a bit of a villain.’

‘She’s really lovely but it’s early days, so I want to keep her away from the public eye.

‘I don’t want anything to go wrong before we’ve got to know each other properly.’

Maybe the mystery woman will think twice about John when she hears what Josie has to say about him.

The busty Bristolian hit out at her ex on Loose Women yesterday, when she blasted:

He’s turned out to be the most manipulative, calculating guy ever.
