Their under-the-duvet antics were featured heavily on screen and the relationship has left Charlotte so upset at times, that she broke down in tears on a recent episode of Celebrity Juice when she was quizzed about him.
The reality star also recently hinted that she may leave the show during an interview on This Morning.
Charlotte told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that she thinks she’s going to have to quit the show in time.

The former Ttonic barmaid was given an 18-month driving ban in 2012 after police caught her at the wheel while twice the legal limit.
She pleaded guilty to drink-driving and was given a ban and a £250 fine. She was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £15 and £85 costs.
The second conviction seems to have dashed her dreams of breaking America.
