Lydia Bright has admitted feeling "disappointed" after sleeping with ex-boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent.
Fans of 'The Only Way Is Essex' watched as the exes revealed they had slept together recently after breaking up in 2012.
The clothing designer has now opened up about getting closer to Arg and admitted she didn't plan for anything to happen between them.
She shared: "I was fighting my feelings towards him as I didn't want anything to happen. I was really scared and met up with my friends and cried. I felt really disappointed in myself for getting feelings towards Arg again.
"I never thought it would happen and didn't want it happen."
The blonde revealed that she started to feel differently towards her ex-boyfriend when they filmed scenes for 'TOWIE' together. The pair even went to the Duke of Essex Polo, the place where they first met six years ago.
Lydia told heat magazine: "We've been filming together loads and really enjoyed each other's company.
"Going back there brought back a lot of memories."
However, she did add that she doesn't regret sleeping with Arg as she believes it was "inevitable".
She explained: "I panic and worry about what other people will think, but I don't think it was a mistake.
"I don't regret us sleeping together, as it was inevitable."

Jacqueline Jossa thinks Dan Osborne is "hot stuff".
The 'EastEnders' actress has been dating 'The Only Way Is Essex' hunk - who welcomed his first child with his ex-girlfriend earlier this year - for over a month and she's revealed she loves his muscular physique and body art.
Quizzed on whether she liked his new tattoo - his son Teddy's name on his ribcage - she responded: "Yes, I'm a fan of all his tattoos. He's hot stuff."
The 21-year-old beauty, who plays the unlucky-in-love Lauren Branning on the BBC One soap, also confessed that while she hasn't got any tattoos of her own, she wouldn't rule out going under the needle.
She told new! magazine: "I haven't got any but I wouldn't say I'd never get one. But at the moment there isn't one I'd get."
Jacqueline claims she wouldn't try and give anyone health and fitness advice as she eats "junk food" and doesn't go the gym and admits she'd much rather stay in and watch a movie with Dan than go out for a fancy meal.
When asked what her ideal date would be, she said: "A takeaway and DVD night in."

Kiefer Sutherland and Stephen Fry are to star in 'Marked'.
The '24' star and the 56-year-old funnyman are to appear in the one-off drama, created by Sky Arts' popular comedy and drama strand 'Playhouse Presents'.
'Marked' will follow the story of James (Sutherland), a seemingly regular guy who's ground down by the pressures of work, family, money and life and - when he hits crisis point - agrees to an unlikely opportunity to make some easy money.
James' disgruntled neighbour - played by 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Kevin McNally - asks him to do a "hit" on a man in return for a large pay-cheque, however, when he arrives at the victim's house he discovers things aren't as they seem, and comes face-to-face with the last person he expects to see (Fry).
The drama was written and directed by Greg Ellis and reunites Sutherland and Fry, who both starred in the recent '24' reboot '24: Live Another Day'.
'Playhouse Presents' is renowned for a number of acting, writing and directing debuts and the previous series of the 30-minute drama and comedies saw Cara Delevingne make her first television appearance in 'Timeless'.
Director of Sky Arts, Phil Edgar-Jones, said of the upcoming episode: "When Stephen and Kiefer agreed to do a 'Playhouse Presents' ... It was like all my Christmases rolled into one."
'Marked' will air on Sky Arts 1 in December this year.

Karen Gillan watched "a lot of American TV" to prepare for her new US sitcom.
The former 'Doctor Who' star is set to make a splash across the pond later this year in new comedy 'Selfie' and she prepared for her part as a vapid American girl by studying accents on TV.
She said: "It's a comedy about a really narcissistic, self-obsessed girl. I took lessons, dialogue lessons, and I listened to a lot of voices on American TV.
"I [also] went to this spinning class in LA and there were a lot of girls that sound like that so I was like, 'This is perfect, I'm just going to absorb this while getting fit.' "
The Scottish starlet, who played Matt Smith's companion Amy Pond on 'Doctor Who' from 2010 to 2012, is excited to watch the eighth series as a fan and thinks new Doctor Peter Capaldi will be "amazing".
Appearing on ITV's 'Lorraine' today (24.07.14), Karen, 26, said: "I've seen the trailers like everybody else. I'm hugely excited.
"I was actually there when he came on to set for the first time because I was there for Matt Smith's regeneration so it was really weird because it was literally one in, one out. Matt Smith left the studio and then Peter Capaldi walked in and I was like, 'It's him!'
"I think he's going to be really good, I mean, he's an amazing actor. I think he's going to do an amazing job."

Heston Blumenthal has undergone a hip operation.
The celebrity chef, 48, has been suffering from severe pain over a number of years and recently decided to go under the knife to relieve his ailments.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I've got a new hip. I'm getting better, I mean really surprisingly quickly.
"I'm told the crutches are there for a reason - to slow you down."
Heston - who owns the Black Duck restaurant in Bray, Berkshire - is younger than most people who have hip ops, but explained that it became unavoidable due to various physical troubles.
He explained: "I broke my leg when I was nine when I fell off a roof. You are put into traction until your bones knit. My right leg got longer than the left one.
"I then did kickboxing for 15 years and the combination of that and going into the kitchen, I got a knackered back. I had a back operation and this is a hangover from all of that."
The chef, who has fronted shows like 'Heston's Fantastical Food', recently appeared on 'MasterChef Australia'.

The next series of 'The Only Way Is Essex' is to be filmed in Ibiza.
The ITV2 reality series' stars have been warned they must be on their best behaviour after show bosses decided to launch the next series in the Spanish party hotspot.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses think having the cast in Ibiza will look great on telly.
"But there are, of course, other temptations on Ibiza and everyone has been warned not to get up to mischief."
The cast - which includes James 'Arg' Argent, Tom Pearce, Gemma Collins and Ferne McCann - will be flown to the Balearic island in September for the nightclubs' season closing parties, which are notoriously wild.
However, bosses have been forced to give the stars a stern talking to, to ensure their drinking doesn't get out of control and that they don't get involved in any more drugs scandals.
Cast member James 'Lockie' Lock recently returned to the show after being given a conditional discharge for pleading guilty to possession of ketamine.
Meanwhile, Mario Falcone is currently suspended from 'TOWIE' following the emergence of video footage of someone, believed to look like him, snorting cocaine while on a night out.
The hunk also missed out on the cast's annual trip to Marbella, Spain, because of the alleged incident.

Kimberly Kisselovich "forgot about the cameras" when she romped with Steven Goode on 'Big Brother'.
The former Playboy model, who abruptly left the house last week due to a medical issue, has opened up about having sex with her fellow housemate on the Channel 5 reality show and says she isn't surprised by viewer reaction to the steamy scenes.
In an interview with 'Big Brother' host Emma Willis on 'Bit on the Side' (23.07.14) last night, she said: "Not really, [I wasn't surprised], every time someone has sex on TV people have an opinion. As you become more comfortable you forget about the cameras."
Kimberly also claimed that despite sharing a bedroom with all of the other housemates, "no-one noticed" her sex sessions with Steven "apart from Ash [Harrison] and Helen [Wood]".
The 23-year-old reality star dismissed claims Steven was controlling of her, saying: "It didn't feel that way".
Kimberly added that she is usually the controlling partner in relationships and it was "nice to take a back-seat".
She said of her romance with Steven: "I never felt that I was in a position where I couldn't talk."
The brunette model admitted she wants a relationship with Steven, 23, and found herself falling in love with him.
She explained: "We're definitely on the same page ... I noticed I was falling for him the first time he faced eviction and thought, 'Why do I feel this way? I don't want to feel this way.' "
