Big brother star Zelah's girlfriend has opened up on potential romance rumours once again as she says she "can't catch a break".

Francesca Ridella has been no stranger to defending her relationship online as Zelah continues in the Big Brother house. At first, she was defending her partner against romance rumours with evicted housemate Feyisola after she admitted she would pursue things should he be single.

She previously branded the comment as "weird", but continued to defend her relationship, admitting Zelah had not crossed any boundaries. Now, fans have shared their concerns that romance could be brewing between Zelah and Sam.

Last night (October 27), saw Sam and Zelah's relationship seemingly growing closer after Sam admitted to Big Brother in the Diary Room that they "play into" the flirting.

He said: "I think we were talking about how me and Zelah flirt a lot and obviously I love it and I play right into it, but so does he...

"He said, 'No but it's fine because my girlfriend's really open, really trustworthy, she understands. And she said if I had a crush on anybody in the house I could explore that'."

Now, Zelah's girlfriend has found herself opening up about her relationship online once again after fans raised their concerns.

Taking to TikTok, Francesca shared a video captioned 'I honestly can't catch a break', alongside a laughing face emoji. On the video, she wrote: "When Sam and Nancy think Zelah was dropping hints when he said he was bisexual."

Responding to concerned fans in the comments, Francesca replied: "Not really, I'm ok with flirty banter I know that different people have different boundaries and that's ok."

In another comment, Francesca wrote: "He doesn't need a pass for flirty banter."

After last night's instalment, Francesca uploaded another video of her dancing, where she wrote: "Me after watching tonight's episode and finally seeing Zelah's funny side shine through."

However, some fans are divided on Zelah's flirtatious banter as one person commented: "Girl... you are a better woman than me. My boundaries and Insecurities been pushed to the LIMITS."

Another wrote: "Girl you're allowed to be upset, we promise."

Another added: "I would completely get this if it was polyamorous relationship? This situation feels very Chris and Jojo. Just hope you don't get hurt."

However, Francesca replied: "Different people have different boundaries."

Some viewers have shown their support for Francesca and Zelah's relationship as one person penned: "Ugh you and Zelah's relationship is so beautiful."
