Charlotte Crosby has gone off men.
The 'Geordie Shore' star split from her on/off boyfriend Gary 'Gaz' Beadle last month following four years of turbulent dating and, although she and the hunk still have a strong bond, she has admitted she wants to stay single for now.
She told Closer magazine: "I'm not speaking to any blokes at the moment. I'm off men and think I'm going to be single for quite a long time. I'm enjoying doing my own thing."
However, when she does eventually decide to give love another go, the blonde beauty has admitted she has a strict criteria when it comes to men.
She said recently: "I need someone who has his own life, has his own things going on and is mature."
But the 25-year-old beauty doesn't' think she'll have much trouble finding someone in the future because she's got bundles of confidence since shedding two-and-a-half stone last year and having a nose job earlier this month.
She said: "I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. All the worries I used to have haven't entered my head once. When I looked in the mirror [after the op], I felt like it was a different person staring back, because it has changed my face a little bit. But I loved it. My old nose was awful."

Ant & Dec have been asked to present on an "online platform".
The presenting duo - whose full names are Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly - are signed to ITV in a multimillion pound 'golden handcuff' deal, but that's coming to an end later this year which will leave the household names open to other offers.
Ant confessed the pair could be lured away to Netflix or Amazon Prime, which have attracted huge viewing numbers over the past two years.
He said: "We have been approached about doing something for an online platform."
Dec - who currently presents 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here', 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'Saturday Night Takeaway' with his co-host and friend - added: "We have got three of the biggest shows on ITV, so right now, it's the best home for us, but you never know."
The pair reportedly earned a whopping £8.4 million between them in 2014, which works out at £23,000 each a day.
But asked where they see themselves in five years' time, they admit they will be "slowing down".
In an interview with The Sun's TV Magazine, Ant said: "We do think about slowing down, work wise. Because you don't want to kill yourself. We never want to hate what we do.
"It's not just terrestrial channels - there are other options nowadays, such as Netflix, and Amazon Prime. There will be a whole wealth of stuff for when we decide to do something different."

Gary Barlow is launching a talent show which is set to rival Simon Cowell's 'The X Factor'.
The Take That star and former judge on the music-manager's show has been drafted in by the BBC to front his own talent series that will replace 'The Voice' when it moves to ITV next year.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: "This is Gary's own format that will be made by the BBC entertainment team.
"If it is a success he could make hundreds of millions of pounds around the world like Cowell has with X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. Cowell is going to be furious because he thinks it was X Factor that gave Gary the experience working on a show like this. Now he's gone and set up a direct rival."
Gary's 'X Factor' stint ran for three series from 2011 to 2013.
And Simon, 56, has been "paranoid" and had it in the back of his mind that the 45-year-old singer might one day follow in his footsteps.
The source added: "He's always been paranoid about Gary trying to set up a huge entertainment company incorporating music and TV, which seems to be happening."
However, no further details have been revealed and the BBC are yet to confirm the news that the 'Back For Good' singer's show will take the slot.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "This is one of a number of ideas being considered for Saturday nights on BBC1."

Chloe Lewis wants to move in with Jake Hall this year.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star is desperate to take her eight-year relationship with the handsome designer to the next level in the next coming months and believes the next most logical step is to set up home together.
She explained to Star magazine: "Hopefully we will have our own place by the end of the year."
And, although they're just two years short of hitting a decade of dating, the brunette beauty doesn't think marriage is on the cards just yet because she's enjoying her relationship as it is.
She said: "I'm not in a rush for marriage. If he asked... well, I'm not going to tell you the answer!"
However, Chloe has admitted she'd be appalled if Jake got down on one knee and popped the question on 'TOWIE' following their highly-publicised split last year.
She added: "I'd rather he didn't [propose on the show]. Our relationship has been brought onto 'TOWIE' and it makes things hard. We've got a lot of respect for each other after all the drama. Hopefully it was all for the best."

Paul Hollywood once dragged Mary Berry to McDonald's.
The 'Great British Bake Off' judge, 80, has admitted her handsome co-star forced her to go inside one of the fast food chain's restaurants a few years ago but she refused to eat anything because she won't allow processed grub through her lips.
She told heat magazine: "I never have takeaway. When the children were little, I had one once. With takeaways, you have to go and fetch them and I would far rather cook something in my kitchen. It doesn't take long to rustle something up ... I have visited McDonald's once - this is absolutely true! Paul Hollywood took me to one after 'Bake Off'. He drove into one and said, 'Bezz, come on!' He loves them, but I didn't have anything. I like my own burgers with Parmesan on top."
And, although she's not keen on chomping down on a meaty burger made in bulk loads, Mary is partial to an alcoholic beverage once in a while.
When asked if she ever has a few too many drinks, she said: "Oh no, I am very careful, as I am nearly always doing something interesting the next day. In my youth, I might have done but, good gracious, not now."

Arnold Schwarzenegger has landed his first UK presenting gig.
The Hollywood legend is set to front 'Arnie's 50 Greatest Ever Stunts', a new two-hour special set to air in the spring, as he slips into his tight blue jeans and black leather jacket to describe various feats it takes to become a daredevil as he goes behind-the-scenes of some of the world's most mind-blowing and life-threatening stunts.
A spokeswoman explained: "In addition to commentary from fans, comedians, stunt coordinators and daredevils, this celebration of skill and courage will take a behind-the-scenes look at how these jaw-dropping stunts came together with Arnie offering insight into what it takes to be a real life action hero."
Meanwhile, even though the show, which will show martial arts star Jean-Claude Van Damme's car commercial where he did the splits between two lorries, will air on UK television screens, Arnold, 68, actually shot the programme in Los Angeles.
And it seems the former professional bodybuilder got the nibbles while he was on set as he reportedly kept running off to pinch snacks from Will Smith's nearby studio.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "While Arnie was shooting he kept disappearing and coming back with biscuits and chocolate cake. It turned out he was raiding Will Smith's catering area. When Will found out he was thrilled to see who it was!"
The 'Terminator' actor's previous experience on television includes his recent stint on the US version of 'The Apprentice'.

Rik Makarem has quit 'Emmerdale' - again.
The 34-year-old actor - who plays handsome businessman Nikhil Sharma in the soap - has decided to turn his back on the long-running show once again, following his return just four months ago, in order to pursue his music career.
Speaking on 'This Morning' today (19.02.16), he said: "Part of my decision for not staying with the show on a permanent basis was because I decided that 2016 really has to be the year where I get the music and songs that I am writing in front of the correct Artists and Repertoire people. It took a couple of months to really consider whether it was the right choice. "
Rik - who joined the soap in 2009 - walked away from the programme in 2013 when his on-screen wife Genesis Walker is murdered and he flee to Canada with their daughter Molly.
He then made a shock return last October when he his on-screen father Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patel) begged him to come back to the Dales and take control of the factory after his brother Jai Sharma's near-fatal drugs overdose.
Meanwhile, Rik's alter-ego is set to walk away from the village in tonight's episode (19.02.16) after he and Jai come to blows over his fiancée Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi).
He said: "Nikhil being back in the village was a surprise to everyone, including me as an actor.
"He is head over heels for this girl but there are a few little signs saying it isn't going to be right.
"When you are stepping back into old shoes, you want to add something to it and bring more layers into the mix."
