She wants to marry WHO?

Former Ex on the Beach star Charlotte Dawson opened up about her fantasy about marrying Simon Cowell in a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid with Closer online.

We sat down for a chat with the reality star ahead of the launch of her new dating show, Love Squad, which premiers tonight on MTV.

And before we got into the nitty gritty of what the show’s about – her first ever presenting gig – we thought we’d delve into Dawsy’s own love life with a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid.

WATCH Charlotte Chuffin' Dawson talks all things Love Squad

“I would snog Paddy McGuinness,” she said. “I’m really sorry Christine [McGuinness, Paddy’s wife] because I’m really good friends with Christine, but I’d have to give him a little ‘hello, you’ – just a friendly one, though!

“I’d marry Simon Cowell, because I’m not being funny – but it’s Simon chuffing Cowell, and I want to be a presenter on Britain’s Got Talent.

“And then I’d avoid Pete Wicks,” she concluded. “I really like [him], and I think [he's] a good person, but I’m good friends with Megan [McKenna, Pete’s ex].”

Solid girl code.
