Erica responded by branding his words "bullsh*t" and claimed he'd made no effort to win her back.
She fumed on social media: "There’s been absolutely no fight on his behalf. If you really wanted to make this work, you would try, you would do something. He’s literally done f**k all, so I don’t know what this means, I don’t know where this has even come from."
Jordan addressed the backlash on Instagram yesterday, telling fans: "Thank you to everyone who has supported and understood me.
"To those that haven't, I'm aware you are supporting another person and I commend you for that and will not ask you to stop.

He then asked fans to read the article before judging him and that there is no villain in the fallout.
Jordan continued: "It breaks my heart to know the most important person to me is hurting. However, I do have peace knowing the full situation and just really want happiness for everyone as soon as possible."
In his first interview since their break-up, Jordan exclusively told The Sun: "It did seem like a fairytale and in my heart I believed we were going to be together forever, which is why I think it hurts so much now, as I didn't see it coming.
"We fought through everything together, of course people saw us fight on-screen, but the amount of stuff that we fought through as a team on-camera/off-camera - we fought through so much and we were the best team.

"I didn't think anything would beat us really."
Jordan revealed the reason behind their split and said the "break up was the worst thing in the world", but is hopeful that they can rekindle their romance after some time apart.

"It's sad, we had a really nice conversation that we left it on and there was no bad blood, there is no anger, going forwards we thought it might not work," he told us.
"But we even said, the way we feel about each other...maybe this is just how we feel now and we can't move forward, but maybe in a week or two that might change - because the way we feel about each other is just so strong."
Jordan explained that living arrangements may have triggered a few arguments, he continued: "Making it work from Edinburgh to Sheffield - we weren't really settled and those stresses can build up and it can lead to a few niggly arguments.
"We were looking at houses in February - I don't think either of us saw this coming.
"But there was nothing major - breaking up with each was the worst thing in the world, but the break-up was the best it could have gone.
"There was no horrible reason why. We knew we needed to work on things like every couple, like when we argued and how we dealt with it...how I dealt with it.

"There is no one to blame, the way our lifestyle was, travelling out of a suitcase and not having a settled home and base.
"That can get on top of you and stress you out...it was an accumulation of things."
He went on: "But because we had gone through so much together we didn't think that would end up doing it.
"I still can't get my head round it, I still can't believe that we're not going to be together going forward, not only am I heartbroken because we're not together anymore.
"I've lost the future I thought we were going to have, it's really hard to plan for the future as I'm almost grieving that I've lost my best friend and this person that I loved and this relationship that meant the world to me.
"The whole journey we went through was the best journey and only us will know what it was like.
"I think we were just tired, we had fought so much to get through so much, I think we lacked a bit of fight towards the end.
"It's a real shame as I think it could have gone so differently - if we found a house in Manchester and got a job - we could still had our picture perfect future."
Jordan said hopes of them getting back together have become slim after Erica unfollowed him and deleted some of their memories from her Instagram grid.
"In my heart I will always have that hope [of getting back together] because of the way I feel but if I go off that, I don't think she's following anymore on Instagram, if she's taken off a couple of posts that really meant a lot to us," he shared.
"It was a more of a case of 'we don't think it's going to work going forward but because of the way we feel about each other, maybe we will still want to be together and try and make it work in a few weeks - but there were no promises and for now that was it'.
"I always had that hope that we could come together again and try and make it work. But it's hard to know how she feels. I feel the longer it goes on, the less likely it is to happen.
