Celebrity Big Brother 2016: Sam Reece 'declined chance' to confront Stephanie in the house
SAM REECE was reportedly given the chance to confront Stephanie Davis once and for all in the Celebrity Big Brother house, but declined the opportunity.
Sam Reece reportedly turned down a spot in the Celebrity Big Brother house
The Manchester-based model, who has been forced to watch his now ex-girlfriend getting close to Jeremy McConnell, was approached by show bosses to appear this week.
Emma Willis confirmed during tonight's live eviction interview with Jeremy that producers had been "unable to make contact" with him.
While many would jump at the chance to square off with a cheating partner and their lover, Sam decided to keep a sensible distance from the former Hollyoaks babe and her Irish beau.
A source previously told the MailOnline: "Sam has been asked earlier in the week and has turned it down."

Jeremy looked relieved to learn that his love rival was not in attendance for his eviction, after Stephanie went head-to-head with him and housemate Tiffany Pollard.
Instead, he waspartying with last week's evictee Megan McKenna at a nightclub event in Kent.
Things have been hotting up between Stephanie and Jeremy in recent weeks, after the pair recently got steamy under the covers and declared their love for one another.
The Scouse star also announced that she wanted to be single, seemingly dumping Sam on television and opening up a guilt-free door to a romance with her housemate.

Stephanie has some harsh realities to face when she exits the house and sees Sam
Sam has retained a very dignified silence throughout his girlfriend's time in the house, with the exception of one comment saying that he wouldn't be supporting her any longer.
His friends, on the other hand, have been very vocal about their intentions towards the tattooed model, with Twitter threats to enter the house and "iron him out".
