BEAUTY and the Geek star Jordan has revealed she and "geek" Lachlan slept together while they were filming the hit reality show.
Jordan, a dancer from New South Wales, confessed to the steamy encounter during an interview on Kyle and Jackie O’s breakfast radio show.
Asked by Sandilands if the couple had had gotten “naked with each other” while in the house, law student Lachlan said, “A gentleman never tells”.
Watch the awkward scene below
But, his “beauty” was more forthcoming, telling the radio hosts the couple had sex during the show.
“He was a virgin…He’s secretly proud,” Jordan said.
Lachlan also revealed they're still dating and he is considering moving interstate to make their romance work.
Meanwhile, the show will be rocked tonight when a beauty makes a shock exit from the house.
The beauty breaks the heart of her geek when she announces she must leave due to personal reasons.

That's certainly not maternity wear! Pregnant Beyoncé dons barely there swimsuit for her Party music video... but where's her baby bump?

She might be expecting her first child but Beyoncé's style in her new video is anything but mumsy.
In fact, the singer has donned a series of barely-there ensembles, for her latest video.
Beyoncé invited J.Cole, who performs on the track, her Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland and her sister Solange to appear in the celebrations.
And just one week after debuting her boy-band tribute video for Love on Top, Beyoncé is back with the Party video but one very big thing is noticeably missing.

Where's the bump? Beyoncé gets racy in the video for her new single, Party
The 30-year-old starlet shows no signs of her pregnancy in the video for her J. Cole remix of Party, which debuted tonight on BET's 106 & Park.
In the video, which was shot in August, just before she announced her pregnancy at the MTV VMA's, the mother-to-be has a few cocktails, wears a skimpy, hot pink bathing suit and generally parties like a rock star.
Her outfits get racier and racier in each shot as she prances around playing party host in a slew of outfits ranging from a skimpy yellow tank top and underwear to a leopard print leotard to a crocheted bikini.
Her sister Solange, 25, plays DJ in the video, spinning sweet tunes presumbably sung by her famous older sibling.
Her former Destiny's child bandmate and current X-Factor UK judge Kelly Rowland also makes an appearance.

Chef B: Beyoncé fries you up a party surprise but her baby bump remains out for view in the video
J. Cole shows up midway through the song in his glittering car to rap on the track.
There is a rational explanation for the fact that Beyoncé is bumpless in Party.
Her fans learned there would be a clip back in August, when she was spotted shooting in New Jersey's Oakdale Mobile Home Park.
She has also shot various other videos from her album, 4, including: Love on Top, Countdown, 1+1, Run the World (Girls) and Best Thing I Never Had.

Errr....The Love on Top singer seems to be overly stimulated in this photo
Still, it isn't the image a woman embarking on motherhood is typically likely to present to the world, but then, nothing about Beyoncé's pregnancy has been typical.
She's become a fashionista for the mummy crowd, wearing skimpy skirts, plunging necklines and sky-high heels while carefully hiding her bump.
However, lately she's been keen to show off her bump after being at the centre of claims that she wore a fake bump for a television appearance, earlier this month.

Her representatives quickly dismissed the reports as 'stupid, ridiculous and false' - but not before footage of her sporting an apparent 'squished' bump on Australian TV became a YouTube hit.
Viewers noted how at one point the cameras appeared to show Beyoncé's bump being squashed as she sits down.
During the interview to promote her new album, 4, she revealed she is due to give birth in February, adding that she feels 'grateful' and 'blessed' to be expecting her first child.

The footage promoted speculation on gossip websites that she is wearing a prosthetic bump.
U.S. blog Media Takeout was the first to highlight the peculiar moment, citing it as 'evidence' she is exaggerating the look of her bump.

Other news outlets also weighed in, with The Washington Post calling it 'weird' while ABC News asks: 'Is Beyoncé's bump as big as she’d have us believe?'
It even triggered wild 'conspiracy theories' that she was faking her pregnancy while a surrogate mother carries her baby.
However, the claim carries little logic considering she was photographed wearing a bikini on September 6 while holidaying in Croatia and sporting a visible bump.

TROUBLED actress Lindsay Lohan will pose nude for Playboy magazine, and will earn nearly $1 million for her efforts.
Lohan knocked back Playboy's initial offer of $750,000 to strip, but eventually agreed to sign a deal when they came back with an offer closer to her request for $1 million, the celebrity website TMZ reported.
The 25-year-old's nude photoshoot started over the weekend, sources said.
Lohan's representative said they could neither confirm nor deny the report, while Playboy did not immediately respond to TMZ's request for comment.
News of Lohan's Playboy deal comes just days after she was handcuffed and briefly jailed last Wednesday, when her probation was revoked for not adhering to the terms of her community service - set for stealing a $2500 necklace from a Los Angeles boutique earlier this year.
The judge advised Lohan to complete 16 hours of service at a morgue before a probation violation hearing set for November 2.

Bottoms up! Nude Irina Shayk shows off her perfect derrière for a new book...

She has become one of the most in-demand models in the world, and judging by the latest photograph of Irina Shayk - it's not hard to see why.
The 25-year-old Russian model shows off her perfect figure in a new coffee table book Culo.
Lying naked face down on a rumpled bed, Irina smoulders at the camera while a well-positioned ink spot protects her modesty.

The book, a collaboration between Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine and fashion photographer Raphael Mazzucco, features a collection of 248 photographs to celebrate the female backside.
Musician and businessman Combs, who served as executive editor on the project, paid tribute to Mazzucco's work.
'Raphael is a true artist,' he said. 'He relies on instinct - capturing a raw, natural sense of beauty through his lens in CULO by Mazzucco that celebrates the female form. His work is passionate and powerful.'

Happy together: Irina has been dating Real Madrid footballer since last spring

Earlier this year, Irina revealed how she keeps herself in such good shape.
'I really love doing something for myself,' she said. 'When I have a free time, I love going to the spa for a massage.
'I work out four or five times a week with my trainer not because I want to be skinny, but because it just makes me feel good to start my day with a workout.'
Irina, who has been dating Real Madrid footballer since last spring, has been working hard on her modelling career since she landed the prestigious cover of Sports Illustrated earlier this year.
Talking recently about the honour, Irina told Forbes magazine: 'It’s one of the most important things that can happen to a model in her career. People now recognise me on the street.
'A couple of days ago, I took a shower and then was walking my dog, and a man came up to me with a bag full of magazines. He came from New Jersey, and was like, “Can you sign these magazines?” It was about 10 p.m., and here I am with wet hair!'
And, referring to how the cover has changed her life, Irina said: 'The cover has launched countless modeling careers. I did receive requests to be in movies, but I want to concentrate on my modelling.'
Culo will cost $65 and be released in stores on November 22.

Rihanna strips off for nude photo shoot

It was the most disturbing celebrity split of the last decade, but Rihanna has revealed in a new interview that she's no longer angry with former boyfriend Chris Brown.
The 21-year-old is serving five years of probation after pleading guilty to felony assault for the attack on the pop superstar in the early morning hours before the 2009 Grammys.
But the singer told Esquire that harbouring resentment towards the R'n'B star 'was taking up way too much of my time.'

Laid bare: Rihanna is the cover girl for Esquire's November issue, and she opens up about her ex Chris Brown and the attack upon her in 2009

And she even revealed that she's pleased that her ex has found renewed success in his career after the attack tarnished his reputation.
It's a generous move from the hugely successful star, who is celebrating her 20th song, We Found Love, hitting the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart since she debuted in 2005.
The 23-year-old said: 'It was way too much anger. I'm really excited to see the breakthrough he's had in his career.'
Brown's latest album F.A.M.E (Forgiving All My Enemies) debuted at No1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in March, it went gold and has produced hits Deuces and Look At Me Now.

Intimate portrait: Rihanna talks freely about Brown in the revealing interview, which is accompanied by stunning portraits of the star

But it didn't look too good for him in the initial aftermath of the assault.
The album Graffiti, which was released ten months after the attack, was a commercial disaster, as his reputation took a nosedive in the wake of his terrible behaviour.

But amazingly, Rihanna is leading the cheers to his rehabilitation.
She said: 'It's incredible to see how he pulled out the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know? '

'I really like the music he's putting out. I'm a fan of his stuff. I've always been a fan.'
Rihanna, who since the attack has released platinum albums Rated R and Loud and has new long player Talk That Talk out next month next month, concludes that she wishes her ex well.
'I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have,' she said.

'Humiliated' Demi seeks divorce after last-ditch bid to save marriage fails

Demi Moore has consulted a divorce lawyer after the failure of a last-ditch bid to save her marriage to Ashton Kutcher.

The 48-year-old actress’s marriage hit the rocks after allegations that Kutcher cheated on her.

Kutcher, 33, is alleged to have had sex with 23-year-old Texan Sara Leal
in a hotel at the end of September – at a time when the actor should have been preparing to celebrate his sixth wedding anniversary with Miss Moore.

Parting: Ashton Kutcher and actress Demi Moore

Last night an entertainment industry insider said: ‘Miss Moore has been totally humiliated. On Friday, therefore, she consulted a lawyer about getting a divorce.

'The discussion included her living arrangements and how a divorce would impact her assets. She is worth about £97 million and Kutcher is also worth close to that.

‘This is a huge and very tough decision for Miss Moore to take. But her trust has been shattered.’

Sex claim: Sara Leal, who allegedly had a liaison with Ashton Kutcher at The Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego

Miss Moore already had two broken marriages behind her – to songwriter Freddy Moore and actor Bruce Willis – when she wed Kutcher in 2005.

‘She desperately wanted to save their marriage,’ the source added. ‘But the Sara Leal story was a hard one for Kutcher to deny because it was backed up by the seedy photos of him partying.’

Miss Moore reportedly agreed to go to Kabbalah counselling sessions with Kutcher.
‘But it hasn’t worked,’ the source said. ‘She is done with him.’

Miss Moore’s publicist did not respond to a request for comment. And Kevin Marks, the lawyer who handles her acting career, refused to comment.

Tori Amos Makes Billboard History

Tori Amos' first album in two years is not only a hit, but it's also breaking Billboard records.
The American singer/songwriter's "Night of Hunters" has landed her in the top 10 of the Classical, Alternative and Rock lists simultaneously, making her the first woman to do so.
And while "Night of Hunters" may be a hit, it might take a full night to listen to Flaming Lips' newest song "Found a Star on the Ground." The six-hour song is not only unique for its length, but also aids a great cause. Fans donated $100 to hear their name sang by the rock band along with invited guest, Sean Lennon. Proceeds from the unique project go to The Central Oklahoma Humane Society and The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma.
Another band who is using their musical talent for a good cause is Jack's Mannequin. They are preparing for the second annual Dear Jack Benefit for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, an organization that is close to front-man Andrew McMahon’s heart. A cancer survivor, McMahon tells Fox411 that “People and Things,” which is currently available for purchase, deals heavily with his experiences. He says, "the subject of the album is very much about love and very much about relationships and what two people go through when they are faced with a certain set of challenges they weren’t expecting.”
Another young artist who is releasing new music is the soulful Rachael Yamagata. She sat down with FOX411 to dish on how she took an unorthodox approach to producing her latest album "Chesapeake.” She ditched the formal studio album and says she “got this house and converted it into a studio and pitched tents and made dinners and tracked at weird hours of the night.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley maintains fitness with three personal trainers

British model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has revealed she has three personal trainers in London, Los Angeles and New York, and therefore has no excuse to skip the gym.
Huntington-Whiteley, 24, who is the face of fragrance Burberry Body, has trainers in all three cities as she needs to always be in the gym to maintain her trim physique.
"It takes lots and lots of hard work. I have three personal trainers -- James Duigan in London, Jason Walsh in Los Angeles and my friend Justin in New York. That means there's no excuse not to be in the gym wherever I go," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
Apart from following a strict exercise regime, she controls her diet, and tries to put few carbohydrates into her body.
"Everything starts with exercise. Then you want to look after yourself and put good food in your body," she was quote as telling Britain's Grazia Magazine.
"I have a really good response when I cut out carbs so that's something I always do before a great event. I eat a high-protein diet and lots of greens," she added.

Eating and workout secrets behind Daisy Lowe's curvy body

British model Daisy Lowe has revealed that she toned up her body by eating more than she used to and by exercising daily.
"Diets don't work for me. If I'm told I can't have something, I just crave it more," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Grazia.
The 22-year-old model's personal trainer, Nicola Addison, insisted that she was not eating enough and suggested she increase her intake of protein and do some weights.
Lowe's calorie intake, and the number of calories she burnt, was closely monitored and Addison's team created a tailor-made menu, with meals delivered straight to the model's door.
A typical day included an omelette for breakfast, a protein bar snack, a vegetarian salad for lunch, some nuts and berries and salmon for dinner.
"It was difficult. If I hadn't started seeing some benefits after a week, I would have given up," Lowe admitted.
The looker has now shown the benefits of her diet by going topless for Esquire Magazine and in the interview admitted she is jealous of Lara Stone's "perky" breasts and thinks that she has a perfect body.
Lowe talked about the body shape of women in the fashion world, and said she envied Lara Stone her "massive" assets, branding her husband, comedian David Williams, a "lucky man".
"There's definitely been some sort of a shift, because I think women want to buy clothes that suit their bodies and the average women is not a stick," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Esquire.
The model also revealed that she is proud of her curvy body as compared to the ultra thin models in the fashion world.

Holly Madison insures her breasts for whopping $1 million
Holly Madison, the former girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, has reportedly insured her breasts for 1 million dollars.
Madison, 31, said that she insured her famous assets with Lloyd's of London to protect them while appearing in her Las Vegas production, 'Peepshow'.
"I've heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not? Because if anything happened to my boobs, I'd be out for a few months and I'd probably be out a million dollars," she told People Magazine.
"I thought I'd cover my assets," she added.
Madison, however, also comprehends the quirkiness of it.
"I think it's kind of funny. I think they're getting the credit they deserve. They're my primary money makers right now," she added.

Kristen Stewart dishes relationship advice as she poses in sexy photoshoot

When it comes to love, Kristen Stewart is a fan of her own advice.
Given that her interviewer was Twilight scribe Stephenie Meyer, the usually close-mouthed starlet finally seemed comfortable enough to chat candidly about love.
'Hmm....good relationship advice for me tends to be being honest and knowing yourself,' she says in the American magazine's November 2011 issue.

Cover girl: Kristen Stewart's style is easy and breezy in the November issue of America's Glamour magazine

'Don't be an a-hole. That's my advice,' she adds. 'Don't be mean. Don't take s**t. Don't settle.'

Settling is the last thing the 21-year-old actress can be accused of doing, given that her boyfriend is heartthrob and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.
The two started dating shortly after filming the second Twilight Saga series film, New Moon, in 2009.

Twilight of her life: The 21-year-old Breaking Dawn starlet is interviewed by Twilight scribe Stephenie Meyer

It's easy to see why the 25-year-old actor fell in love with his co-star, given how stunning she looks in these photographs.
Her mile-long legs are endlessly long in a white lace Stella McCartney dress and while most actresses would have gone for a sky-high stiletto, Kristen seems far more at home in these chunky Ash boots.
She mixed that same blend of masculine meets feminine style in a simple Sosume T-shirt, sexy black lace Peter Som shorts and racy Alexander Wang snakeskin heels.

Glam gal: Kristen Stewart wears Bottega Veneta and Current/Elliott jeans on the cover of Glamour magazine¿s November 2011 issue

But it is her typical uniform of jeans, a T-shirt and Chuck Taylors, hair in a ponytail and face devoid of make-up, that both Meyer and Pattinson seem to prefer.
It is also how she feels most at ease, although she did recently confide to GQ magazine, 'I looked like a boy for a long time. Now I feel like a woman.'
She still seems to prefer being one of the guys, especially when she's buddying around with on-set best friend Taylor Lautner.
The Abduction star plays Pattinson's love rival in the films, but, just like her onscreen character, loves both men in very different ways.
She says she can actually sit and watch the Twilight films with her best buddy, as he's actually as much of a fan as she is.
'It’s fun to watch with him because we actually sit and watch it. Me and Taylor are actual Twilight fans, so we can sit there and be totally into it!' she reveals, adding, 'Whereas I sit there with Rob…he likes it, but he has just such a different energy.”
The full interview hits American news stands on October 11; the fourth Twilight film, Breaking Dawn: Part 1, will be released on November 16.Twi-hards will both love and loathe November 16, 2012, the release date of the fifth and final film in the Twilight series.

Cheryl Cole in The Army

'Nothing would have stopped me': Fearless Cheryl Cole says she was ready for anything in Afghanistan, even being held at gunpoint

Cheryl Cole has admitted that she was frightened by the training she received before her trip to Afghanistan but she revealed that nothing would have stopped her traveling to the middle east to boost the morale of British troops.
The 28-year-old singer went on the visit to British troops last month and says she was prepared for the worst - including having a gun held to her head.
She braved the dangers of war to spend time with troops in the treacherous Helmand Province.

In the thick of it: Cheryl Cole takes part in a demonstration by 42 Commando Royal Marines in Helmand Province conducting a compound clearance followed by a casualty evacuation via a Chinook helicopter

Up close and personal: The singer witnessed dramatic demonstrations during her time with British troops in Afghanistan

Cheryl, who was followed by the Daily Mirror as part of their Pride Of Britain awards, revealed to the newspaper: 'Before I went out I was given war training which was pretty full-on and quite scary.
'They warn you about coping with all kinds of scary scenarios - things like having a gun put to your head.
'I was warned before I went out there that it could be dangerous. But nothing was going to stop me from going. And I'm just so glad I did.'

Trigger happy: Cheryl waits to be handed a rifle by one of the troops during her morale-boosting visit

Left, right, left, right!: The former X Factor judge is put though her paces in a training session

The former X Factor judge took part in a demonstration by 42 Commando Royal Marines conducting a compound clearance followed by a casualty evacuation via a Chinook helicopter.
She said that she had never experienced so much dust in her life after the helicopter came in to extract the casualty.
Cheryl also spent time with members of the Afghan national army, as well as our own British troops.

Taking it in her stride: Cheryl said she'd been scared during pre-Afghanistan training but she ready for anything - even a gun to the head

No messing around: She was placed in real-life situations during the demonstration - here a 'casualty' is tended to while they await help

She added: 'Afghanistan was an unbelievable experience. The whole trip was incredible. The men and women I met out there were inspirational, and so amazingly brave and dedicated.
'I've stayed in touch with some of the troops through Twitter and they've been sending nice messages. It was a privilege to see what goes on out there.'
Cheryl also revealed she had exchanged numbers with one soldier and was planning to call him.

What a carry on: Cheryl joins in as troops carry a 'casualty' to their pick up point

In the driving seat: Cheryl also took charge of a Jackal vehicle during the visit to Camp Bastion

She said: 'Not only are the soldiers incredibly brave, a few were also incredibly cute. I came back with a phone number.
'He started chatting to me - I think it was for a dare - after I'd been 'shot' during a training exercise. It wasn't real ammunition but it was still terrifying.
'I think I'll call him this week and we'll see what happens. I'm sure he's not expecting me to ring but that's why it'll be funny - and that's why I'm going to do it.'

Keeping watch: Cheryl crouches beside a soldier from 1 RIFLES during an exercise at Camp Bastion in which soldiers carried out a patrol, held a shura and dealt with a casualty

Safety first: The singer makes sure her helmet is securely attached to her head as she prepare to get involved in a demonstration with the troops

She travelled to Helmand Province to mark 10 years of British operations in the country.
Cheryl boarded a troop carrier plane at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire for a 12-hour flight in the middle of last month, having previously undergone hostile environment training to prepare her for the trip.
On the way to Afghanistan, Cheryl made herself useful on the flight, serving drinks and dinners of sausages and mash to her fellow passengers, who were flying out for a six-month tour.

Fighting spirit: Cheryl met troops from 3 Commando Brigade who are serving as Task Force Helmand and personnel from Joint Force Support in Afghanistan who are currently deployed on Operation Herrick

Once in the Helmand Province, Cheryl was given her own army fatigues and took part in a mock gun fight, which she deemed 'terrifying'.
She added: 'I went into the room and heard an explosion.
'It was scary. I was terrified. I'm not ashamed to say I screamed and uttered a few expletives.'

Lifting spirits: Troops were buoyed by Cheryl's appearance - here she poses with members of the Afghan National Army

Task Force Helmand chief, Lt Col Tim Purbrick, told the Daily Mirror: 'Cheryl was not afraid to get her shoes dirty.
'When everyone heard she was coming we did not know what to expect as she’s a huge star.
'But whatever preconceptions we had went out of the window as soon as we met her.
'Her smile is infectious, she was up for doing everything we suggested. She was like one of the lads.'

Happy to be here: The Girls Aloud star poses with members of 3 Commando Brigade's Brigade Reconnaissance Force, an elite unit of soldiers and Marines who are part of 30 Commando Royal Marines

Cheryl added: 'I always had admiration for what the guys do out here, but seeing them here at work is awe inspiring.
'I'm delighted to be here to recognise all the hard work they do. Every one of them is a hero in my book.'
One solider said of Cheryl's trip: 'She's a stunner and having her out here has lifted morale.
She's probably the biggest star to visit. Fair play to her, it's a dangerous place to come.'
