Dan Edgar will "always have feelings" for Kate Wright.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star split from the busty blonde last year following six years of on/off dating and, although she’s now moved on and is rumoured to be seeing someone else, the hunk doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to get over his former flame.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the National Television Awards, held at London’s O2 Arena, on Wednesday (25.01.17), he said: "It didn’t work out. We’re good friends. I haven’t spoken to her for a few weeks. I was with Kate for a long time so I think there will always be feelings there. She has an amazing body."
And, although he’d like nothing more than to get Kate back, the 26-year-old heartthrob has admitted he’s now learnt his lesson and will try and keep any future romances away from the camera because he thinks an on-screen relationship is too much pressure.
He explained: "I’m not dating at the moment. It’s not easy having a relationship on TV, I know that now, but I guess it depends on the circumstances."
Despite the heartbreak and arguments he was heavily involved in last year, Dan has no plans to leave the popular ITVBe series but would like to try his hand at ‘The Jump’ after his co-star Lydia Bright signed up to the winter sports show this year.
He said: "I think at the moment I’ve had quite an intense year last year so I got through that. At the moment I think it’s a good platform to be on.
"I like ‘The Jump’. I would love to do it, I love skiing, I went in January. I’m not a bad skier. Never been approached for it before but who knows what could happen."
