As rumours of a jungle romance between Emily Atack and Nick Knowles ramp up, the Inbetweeners star's ex boyfriend has broken his silence
Emily has spoken of her heartbreak after her five-year relationship with Jack Vacher broke down earlier this year.
She told campmate Noel Edmonds: “I’m soul searching. I had a difficult start to the year. I had a break-up after being with someone five years.
“I’d go into the habit of needing that security, love and acceptance from a guy to make me happy.”

WATCH Georgia Toffolo reveals the I'm A Celebrity secrets producers don't want you to know
Emily, 29, has struck up a close friendship with 56-year-old DIY SOS host Nick, whose previous partners have included 34-year-old Emmerdale actress Gemma Oaten and (possibly) glamour model and former TOWIE cast member Pascal Craymer, 31.
And ITV bosses are apparently hopeful that the pair will 'do a Katie and Peter'.
“They’ve had a couple of moments on screen that producers thought was a good sign,” a source told The Sun.
“They’re seeing how things develop. Nick has a type and Emily fits the bill. And she hasn’t minded a famous boyfriend in the past. Everyone is watching closely and hoping for a proper spark."
