Pennant, currently contracted at Billericay Town in the National League South, hit the headlines this summer following his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

During his time on the show, the former England international enjoyed a very public flirtation with fellow housemate Chloe Ayling.

Pennant failed to disclose to the model that he had been married to his wife Alice for the past four years, leading to a public outcry.

Viewers were stunned to see husband and wife make an appearance on the popular chat show.

'I was a bit upset. I was sat at home waiting for him to explain himself. I was a bit p****d off because he acted immature in there, there's no doubt about that.," said wife Alice.

"He acted a bit childish for sure. But like I say nothing physical went on, it got blown out of proportion. I was never going to leave him. He’s never cheated on me."

When asked about his flirtations with the young model, Pennant continually described the dalliance as 'just banter.'
