Speaking to The Sun, he added: "I've been a bit like, 'Oh, so whatever'. Yeah, like it's a strange one 'cos you feel like once you're in the bubble and in the community, it's like, you know, you're really you're really close to people and then afterwards you're like, Oh, OK, maybe not so."

He didn't shy away from naming names, adding: "I don't mind saying - it was Stephen who was on Celebs Go Dating. I asked him to come on and the management declined and I thought it was really strange. On the show we were very supportive, but the rest of the experiences in person with all the other families has been amazing!" response.
