Charley, who shot to fame on the eight series of Big Brother in 2007, has battled a rough few weeks following a nasty car smash, which saw her left in hospital after her vehicle was hit by a truck.

Now Charley, 40, has found fresh happiness with her man, 43, who she has been dating since late last year but has not named.

In a clip uploaded to her main grid, the spy house contestant was seen admiring her new bling as she perched on a sofa in a grey robe.

She flashed an adoring glance at her left hand as she held it up in front of her face.

Charley then panned in for a close-up of the sparkling diamond before she added the caption: "A real man leads with love, protects with presence and builds with purpose."

In her caption Charley, who stunned fans with her unrecognisable look last year, she continued in her caption: "Two things I know for sure — I'm not where I used to be, and God is still leading me somewhere greater."

 

One fan then posted: "Congratulations beautiful God bless your union."

A second posted: "Jheeeeeezzzeee love to see this Congratulations to you both."

A third wrote: "So happy for you."

One then added: "I know that’s right … A REAL MAN GONNA STEP !!!EVERY TIME CONGRATS QUEEN."

STRONG BOND

During her time on Big Brother, Charley was known for her fiery temper.

She often clashed with fellow housemate Chanelle Hayes, 36, and had a memorable 'fake' eviction.

Charley was evicted on day 59 of Big Brother 8, placing her in 14th.

Recently, the star stunned fans as she posed in a series of semi-sheer lingerie and showed off wads of cash.

Alleging that she was her "own bank", Charley wrote: "F*** a bank lol.

"I have my own bank."

Earlier this year, Charley and her man went viral after she admitted he covered all her expenses - despite only being together for five months at the time.

As the interviewer asked if their relationship was leading to marriage she said: "I hope it is, because I love him."

He replied: "Yeah I am proposing to her soon, she changed my life.

"Literally, the way she love me is way different to how any other woman has loved me.

"It's not about money I'm a very successful seven figure entrepreneur.

"So it aint about money or luxury, she loves me for me."

He added: "I pay for everything, there aint no 50/50 in this relationship," before Charley insisted she paid for the "odd meal."

HOSPITAL HORROR

Just last month, Charley posted a clip showing her in hospital after her horror accident. 

She said: “Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me, then leaves me [for] dead on the side of the road.” 

 

Iconic housemate Charley looked to be in a lot of pain as she showed off some nasty bruises on her face. 

She added: “Bless my nurse brushing my hair out, I can’t really use my arms atm I’m so weak.”
