Different plant within my Clematis pot?? Newbie advice needed.

Hi, I'm rather new to gardening and I started a clematis in a pot which has grown wonderfully so far, however near the main stem there was an offshoot that at first I thought might be another part of the Clematis (Pillu). I think this is a rogue seed/plant that has found its way into the pot, photos attached, it's not too bad a plant and is about to flower, but should I just get rid of it, does anyone know what plant this is, or would you guys just leave it, I don't want it taking over the clematis' pot/nutrients in the long run.

Any info would be appreciated.

    It's a Rosebay Willow Herb, remove it, it is a weed.

    Do it ASAP as the seeds go everywhere and these weeds make deep roots that grow back from the tiniest bit when you pull them out. Horrible stuff.

    * see you have already done it.  :)
