CHARLOTTE Crosby reckons she's found 'the one' after being "cheated on" and "used" by a string of exes.
The TV personality - who rose to fame on hit MTV show Geordie Shore - opened up in a candid YouTube video as she gushed over boyfriend Jake Ankers.
Charlotte, 31, split from videographer Liam Beaumont last summer and previously dated fellow reality TV stars Joshua Ritchie, Stephen Bear, and Gaz Beadle.
The star said unlike her past relationships she has kept Jake out of the spotlight, and has refuses to post photos of the couple on her Instagram because she can't stand trolls judging her.
She said: "I've enjoyed getting to know someone and falling in love with someone behind closed doors, without people having their opinions.
"Without 'Sandra Brown' saying 'oh not another one, not another one!' which by the way can I just say right, something I don't like about this comment, if someone has had a few boyfriends, don't make that out to be a negative.

"Because at the end of the day it shows that that person would not stand for s**t, and if that person was being disrespected, they respected themselves enough to say 'I'm getting up and I'm off mate, this is not the life I expected.'"
Charlotte continued: "Not all of them, but a lot of men in my life have turned out to be that said person, in it for the wrong reasons, uses you, cheats on you, not the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

"So those comments, do you want us to be with Stephen f*****g Bear? Just be with one person who was an absolute s******d. I'm not going to settle until I know that this is perfect.
"Until I meet the man of my dreams who treats me nothing less than amazing. Who will treat me who I've treated everyone else who has been in my life."

Charlotte said Jake has shown her a different side to dating, adding: "I can honestly say this, I have never met anyone who has been so amazing. He is everything I've just said there.
"I feel myself getting emotional. Because I've been through all of those s***heads, and all them k*******s and it was all for a reason. It has led me to that happy ever after."
Charlotte met Gary Beadle in 2011 when they joined the cast of Geordie Shore - they split six years ago after she suffered a horrific ectopic pregnancy.
She went on to date Stephen Bear in 2017 and split from Joshua Ritchie in 2019.
