Looking happy and healthy, he told Ruth and Eamonn: “We are friends. I saw her at V Festival. We had a catch up.”

And when asked if the on-off couple could ever be on again, he responded: “As far as I am concerned I am just concentrating on myself, so not as far as I know.”

The star, who recently returned from a 10-week stint in Thai rehab, went on to discuss how he got on in the dating show.

He said: “I was fortunate enough to meet lots of lovely ladies.”

But he revealed that there was one thing that kept holding  him back: “They were concerned I was eating too much, too quickly. My dates actually went pretty well – but a lot of my feedback was ‘he’s hungry’.

“The truth of the matter is I am still eating a lot but eating the right things.”

The star continued:  “Even if they don’t fancy me. I want them to say I was a nice guy.”

She said: "I realised I was dating clones of each other. I wasn’t having much luck. I thought it was either me or the type of guy.

"For me I am like a homing pigeon. I felt very comfortable with the guy in the corner with the loafers on."

And Sarah Jane Crawford confessed she often went into interview mode while on her dates.

"It’s just my natural default setting. I thought it would make it easier but I realised I was always going into interview mode," she admitted.
