Celebrity Big Brother: Rhian Sugden's friendship struggle with Ashley McKenzie

BB BEAUTY Rhian Sugden is battling to make her friendship with Ashley McKenzie work — as he told Big Brother about his feelings for the stunner.

The 23-year-old judo ace admitted his crush in the diary room, saying that he was getting mixed messages from the Page 3 beauty.

He said: "She also says mixed things to me and says we’ll talk on the outside. Every day that I see her, I get more hurt."

And he said while he knew that the blonde babe had a boyfriend outside the house, he was confused by her behaviour.

Rhian, 25, later told pal Danica how difficult she was finding the situation with Ashley, as she tried to keep their friendship going.

She said: "We just get on more with guys than we do with girls."
