Aaron, who is coupled up with Sharon Gaffka in one of many fragile pairings in the villa this year, opened up in a TikTok video before the show.
Appearing topless – how we are used to seeing him thanks to the show – he told fans: “Stretch marks, look we’ve all got them.
“I got them them there, I got them on my elbows, I got them on my knees, I’ve got them on my back.
“I used to be ashamed and I used to be trying to get Bio-Oil and rub it in and try and get rid of them. But here’s the thing, these scars as well as all the others scars have just shown me the battle.
“These scars are showing me my progress. So why would I be ashamed of them? If anything, embrace them, own them, celebrate them.
“I love my stretch marks, you should too.”
Stretch marks and most often seen in pregnant women but can be found on anyone and are very common.
Last night, Aaron and Sharon became the first couple to have an under-the-covers fumble.
