Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe Goodman is engaged to her footballer partner Grant Hall, who she met at a ‘really bad time’ in her life.
Chloe, who is pregnant, was at a low point when she met Grant, having just ended an engagement and losing a child.
At around the same time Grant, who plays for Queens Park Rangers, had also ended a relationship and was having a hard time with his football because of an injury.
She told The Sun: ‘For two years I had no idea that he was struggling with mental health; when he was doing the campaign he did a long radio interview and sent it to me to listen to because he couldn’t tell me exactly how he felt.
‘I started bawling my eyes out, I had no idea he was in that much of a bad way – I had no idea it was that bad.’
She confesses she didn’t realise how much her partner had been struggling, but the footballer credits her for saving his life.
Grant explained he would try and run away from his problems by going out drinking ‘five, six weeks in a row’, and it was around that time he met Chloe.
He said: ‘I got back on track, we started keeping busy, in a way she did actually save me. She has been great, she has opened my eyes.’
He asked for his partner’s dad’s blessing about eight weeks before popping the question in front of their friends and family at the gender reveal for their baby girl.
The model nearly didn’t realise she was being proposed to as there were fireworks going on at the party at the time.
‘It was a complete shock – I wish that I did kind of have an inkling because then my facial expressions would be a little more attractive!’ she joked.
Chloe is best known for her appearances on series one of Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
In that series, contestant Jeremy Jackson was removed from the house after he pulled open Chloe’s dressing gown in the bathroom.
