Jermaine Pennant arrives at TV awards with wife… and nearly comes FACE-TO-FACE with Chloe Ayling

He hid his wedding ring, refused to admit he was married and flirted shamelessly with Chloe Ayling during his stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house this summer.

And ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant looked to be facing more drama on Tuesday night as he arrived at the National Reality TV Awards with his glamorous wife Alice Goodwin in London – where Chloe later arrived too.

While model and kidnap victim Chloe had still not arrived as Jermaine and Alice hit the red carpet ahead of the awards, she later turned up just as they headed into the event.

Jermaine, 35, arrived smartly dressed in a fitted grey blazer with black satin lapels, a black shirt and black slacks.

He added black and white trainers to the look and flashed his previously-unworn wedding ring as he posed with Alice on the red carpet, at one point seen kissing her.

Alice slipped her frame into a plunging, gold beaded mini-dress, teasing her ample bust and lithe limbs.

She added matching stilettos to the ensemble and swept her sleek raven tresses back behind her shoulders.

Sporting a bronzed glow, Alice swept a brush of clay shadowing to her eyes and added a slick of matching gloss to her pout.

Chloe, meanwhile, gave the footballer’s wife a run for her money in a red one-shouldered gown, with a daring split up to her thigh.

She wore her blonde mane in dark waves around her shoulders and accessorised with a gold necklace and martching earrings.
