Stephanie Pratt claims ex-boyfriend Joey Essex “hates” her and she has no idea why after their ill-fated relationship
The Made In Chelsea star and the ex-Towie star dated for three months in 2016
STEPHANIE Pratt says her ex-boyfriend Joey Essex now ‘hates’ her – and she has no idea why.
The 31-year-old Made in Chelsea beauty and the 26-year-old former The Only Way Is Essex hunk had a doomed fling in 2016.
They had seemingly fallen for each other while both looking for love on E4’s Celebs Go Dating.
Instead of finding love with members of the public, the two ended up falling for each other.
They then embarked on a short but passionate love affair – which burned out quickly, ending just three months after they first locked lips.
Stephanie is far from bitter about the romance, but says Joey is bad mouthing her following the collapse of their romance.
Continuing, Stephanie added: “but he did In Bed With Jamie [Laing] and said some rude things about me."
The reality star added things between them weren't "balanced" when they were together.
And it seems Joey wasn’t very gentlemanly when it came to ending the romance.
"We broke up over the phone when I was in LA and I've not seen him since," she said.
Looking towards happier news, Stephanie says she can’t wait to be an aunt again.
The reality star will see her family expand later this year as her brother and The Hills co-star Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag welcome their first child together.
"Of course, although I had no idea Heidi was pregnant,” she said when asked if she was excited for her brother’s news.
“Spencer and Heidi tend to do things in their own way. I'm really happy for them both. Heidi has wanted a kid for ten years, she's born to be a mum," she gushed.
Meanwhile, Joey Essex is said to be making a return to Celebs Go Dating for a THIRD time.
Bosses are hoping they can score a hat trick with Joey by getting him on the E4 show for the third series in a row—as he continues his quest to find Mrs Right.
Meanwhile, producers are also looking at his cousin Chloe Sims after they struck lucky with fellow The Only Way Is Essex star Ferne McCann on the last series.
A source said: “Joey is really keen to do the show again after proving a hit on the last series.
“He is really keen to find Mrs Right and hopes that bosses consider him. Chloe on the other hand is totally up for going on the show and trying her chances.
“Now is the time for her to find Mr Right and what better way than on Celebs Go Dating.”
