"By no means am I saying I was the perfect girlfriend but I adored Charlie from the bottom of my heart and he knows that.

"I know everybody is waiting for a comment from me on this whole situation but I really just don't know what to say."

Mr Colgate looks completely different in this old photo of him in the boxing ring. The self-proclaimed pen salesman has definitely found himself (and a self-tan mitt) since then and is now giving use all the feels with almost-girlfriend Dani Dyer.

It was later reported that Ellie broke things off with Charlie after she was sent pictures of him out for dinner with another girl.

But Charlie denied any allegations of cheating, with a source telling The Sun: “Charlie has told everyone he is the one who dumped Ellie because he’d just had enough of her. He said it had been coming for weeks.
