Inside Big Brother Daniel’s complicated relationship with girlfriend Ana

What caused the couple to split? - by New Idea
  • 30 Jun 2020

Coming into the Big Brother house, ALF star Daniel Gorringe labelled his relationship status as “complicated” from the moment he walked into the house.

We’d rarely seen any other mention of Ana from the 28-year-old, until now, as Daniel opened up to Big Brother about what really happened between them before entering the show.

Hoping to rekindle his relationship with ex-girlfriend Ana Cannon outside the house, Daniel made his feelings clear when joining the house – well, as clear as can be in a “complicated” situation.

But, during his time in the house, it appears Daniel realised what he really wants – and it’s Ana.

“I miss my girlfriend Ana,” Daniel said while sitting on the house sofa.

“You’ve fallen in love with her from being apart,” Sarah responded, hitting the nail on the head.

Daniel broke down in tears over Ana.

Dan became emotional as he headed to the Diary Room to talk to Big Brother about his relationship with Ana.

“When I get out of here I can go back in her arms and tell her how much I love her,” Daniel told Big Brother before explaining what happened between them to cause their split.

“We broke up because I wasn’t mature enough. She kept telling me to take opportunities and I ignored that.

"The last thing she did at the end of the relationship was push me to do this, and we had a bit of a break there.

"We re-patched things and it was going well but nothing was ever official,” he said.

As it turns out, Ana had also instructed Daniel not to talk about her or the relationship while in the house. While that didn’t exactly go to plan, it appears to have been for the best.

Happy ending spoiler alert, things between Daniel and Ana have been official since he arrived home.

“DG taking another shot at the title,” Ana posted 3 months ago, around the same time Daniel would have returned, suggesting things were back on with the couple.  

Before that, Daniel hadn’t appeared on Ana’s Instagram since June 3, 2019.

Ana also took to Instagram back when the show premiered, confirming the relationship was very much back on.

“We didn’t go into this experience as a couple but we came out stronger than ever.

"Nothing like some enforced radio silence and a bit of help from love doctor @bigbrotherau to sort out the relationship demons,” Ana wrote.

As it turns out, Big Brother did more than a little to help heal Daniel’s aching heart and repair the romance as we saw on TV.

Clearly torn up over Ana and going into the house not officially back together, Daniel revealed he’d even had dreams (read: nightmares) about Ana finding love with another man.

“She is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me,” Daniel said as he broke down in tears.

Playing relationship counsellor, Big Brother surprised Daniel with a call from Ana on the big screen, so he could declare his love.

In a tear-jerking moment the couple reunited, and Ana confirmed she still very much loves him.
