He said on This Morning: "Right now I am grateful I even got the opportunity to do it and I still want to support the fire service."

"I want to do a fireman calendar and I want to donate a lot of the money to the firefighter charity."

The bitter ex was stunned into shock on Monday night when Amber won the show with new boyfriend Greg O'Shea, taking to Instagram to broadcast the moment live.

Admitting he didn't expect Amber to win, he simply jumped around screaming: "Oh s***."
