PAUL'S NO TO SEX WITH EX
No sex for 3 months..but he turns down saucy offer to wait for Helen WE'RE WATCHING YOU WE'RE WATCHING YOU

BIG Brother stud Paul Clarke TURNED DOWN steamy sex with a former girlfriend when he was evicted on Friday night - because he's saving himself for housemate Helen Adams, the Sunday People can reveal.

Paul's willowy blonde ex was waiting for him in the audience outside the TV studios when he was voted off on Friday.

The lusty lass did her best to drag him off to bed but he said No - despite going THREE MONTHS without sex.

And Paul, 25, who expects a flood of saucy approaches from starstruck girls, promised: "I'll ignore every offer of sex I get. I respect Helen."

A close pal confirmed last night: "His ex was all over him but he managed to resist her demands. She was devastated but Paul is determined to keep himself just for Helen.

"Anyone seeing the show could see they are meant for each other. He is not interested in anyone else."

Five million viewers watched the couple flirting, cuddling and vowing their love for each other during eight weeks in the house - and were on tenter-hooks waiting to see if they would have sex before the cameras.

But the pair parted without sealing their on-screen romance despite a last-ditch attempt by tearful Helen to seduce Paul after dragging him into the Big Brother den.

Now Paul can't wait for the show to end - so he can be with the besotted Welsh hairdresser.

He told the Sunday People: "I haven't had sex for three months. There were a couple of people before Big Brother who I was interested in. I can't say what's happening there because it's personal - but I won't be pursuing it this week.

"I've been with Helen for eight weeks and respect her. I've got her phone number and will call.

"It's really flattering knowing that there are women out there who want to sleep with me but it doesn't interest me anymore.

"This week I will only be seeing my family and friends. That's the most important thing for me. I'll be spending so much time with them that the idea of having sex with someone else honestly isn't an issue."

Paul, who claims to have bedded hundreds of girls, angrily denied claims by housemate Josh that he had been stringing along besotted Helen in a bid to win votes.

He said: "I genuinely fancy Helen. It's quite obvious how I feel about her. I'm not a liar."

Paul, a car designer, confessed he had "really wanted" to make love to bubbly Helen, 23, but was camera shy and worried about her strapping fiance Gavin Cox - Big G.

"I was so close to going for it and having sex. I mean I was really, really close," he said. "If only she'd been single it would have been different. But I didn't do anything because Helen mentioned Big G all the time.

"I was worried. If that was my girl I would be on the doorstep. And I was trying to be a gentleman. The last thing I wanted was to feel I was wrecking something."

Paul only discovered when he emerged from the Channel 4 house that Big G had ditched Helen in disgust at the pair's constant canoodling.

But he insisted: "I wouldn't necessarily have had sex with her even if I'd known she was single. There were too many cameras.

"But on the last night we nearly made it. I admit that at one point my hand was on her bum."

Helen confessed to housemate Brian last night how much she longs to be with Paul again.

She said: "I am determined to have a good time but I miss him. It's hard to get over him leaving. I fell for his personality."

And Helen, who does not know Big G has dumped her, added: "It would have been better for me to have been evicted first. Then I could have sorted out my situation and waited for Paul."

Paul's parents Ken and Jenny are hoping to welcome Helen to their pounds 400,000 house in Reading, Berks.

Ken, 53, predicted: "There will be loads of glitter in this relationship. Helen is like our little Marilyn Monroe, she's a treasure, a lovely little thing.

"She's welcome to come round here for a cup of tea anytime. We'll leave the back door open for her."

Ken, a film set constructor, added: "Paul has had several girlfriends but he is going to wait for Helen. He is a lovely lad and has treated her right.

"Their relationship is coming on beautifully. But we knew they would not have sex on TV."

Meanwhile, Paul hopes Helen goes on to scoop the Big Brother pounds 70,000 prize this week.

He said: "I'll be supporting her but she's so bubbly and cheery that I think the girl can do it on her own.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing Helen in the real world. I'm just overwhelmed by everything."

-BIG Brother favourite Brian has been so popular that BBC and ITV both plan to offer the gay Irish airline steward a pounds 1 million deal to front his own show
