‘The Only Way Is Essex’s Dan Edgar says he and Amber Turner have split for good.
The reality television star has declared he and his former co-star are well and truly over, as he admits that although they recently went on a secret Valentine’s Day date, they decided that they were better off apart.
Dan told The Sun Online: "We started speaking again and decided to go out and have a chat to see what both of our views are, but we came to the decision it was best left."
The television hunk thinks it is best that he and the curvaceous blonde – whom he broke up with at the end of December after they got together last May – remain apart as he thinks that is what is "best for both of us."
He said: "We aren’t together anymore. We got to Christmas and it wasn’t working out, so I had to walk away from it and I think that’s for the best for both of us.
"I just wasn’t happy at the end and I thought it was the right thing to do.
"There were reasons why it didn’t work before and those haven’t gone away."
And Dan – who says he is now "single and ready to mingle" – is enjoying not having to deal with the stress of a relationship and says he doesn’t miss "the arguments and fall outs" he had with Amber.
He explained: "It is a relief not to have the agg and to have to deal with the arguments and the fall outs.
"It is nice to be able to come away and relax and have a laugh. It’s nice not to have the worry of the relationship going round in circles."
