Describing his previous relationships, the reality TV star admitted he doesn’t have a type because he’s “dated them all”.

“I’m pretty open… I’ve been with bigger girls, skinny girls, girls that look like they’re on heroin, girls that look like they’ve been to Hungry Jacks nine times a year – it doesn’t really matter.”
John James, 32, also said his pals called him “Johnny three months” and said his last serious relationship was with a 19-year-old.

It’s this she believes to be the reason they split and said they even drew up a “love contract” to try and work through their issues.
She told The Daily Star at the time: We spent every minute of the day with each other in the Big Brother house and moved in straight away after leaving the show. We didn’t want to be apart.
“But the honeymoon period was over. We argued all the time. John wanted me to stop weeing with the toilet door open and I wanted him to stop moaning and to see things from my point of view.
“It was hard for us to stick to them, though, because we are both very stubborn.”
