Ron revealed that the break-up took a toll on him and said he struggled to bounce back.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Ron said: "I will never do a dating show again, I will never have a relationship in the public eye again because I think it ruins it.

"It played a part in mine and Lana's relationship.
"I think relationship programmes are quite forced and it doesn't happen naturally, it's great and it works.
"It worked for me because I didn't expect to fall in love. But I think sometimes it can play with peoples feelings too much."
Ron said that he is still good friends with Lana despite their public split and still cheers her on from a distance.
He said: "Me and Lana are really good, we chat every now and again. She's just done an amazing collab, I'm so proud of her.
"She's smashing it, I can't tell you how proud I am of her, doing her thing, what she said she wanted to do.
"She's killing it and it's nice to know that the good ones out there are getting the things they want.
"It's difficult, every now and again you might say congrats or you might see her somewhere.
"But it's always going to be difficult, we don't talk everyday because lets be honest it would be hard to do.
"But it's not like a typical ex where you hate each other, we didn't."
While Lydia was a Casa Amor bombshell in 2023.
