Grace revealed in an interview: ‘Mario has asked me out for years. My ex actually had an argument with Mario, before he was every with Lucy.’
The TOWIE star also denies keeping her long standing flirtation with TOWIE lad Mario a secret and says she didn’t go to Marbella with the former cast member like reports claim.
‘I didn’t go on holiday with Lucy. We have a mutual friend. We’ve never had each other’s numbers, we don’t have any loyalties and it’s not like she’s just split up with him.’
Lucy then retorted: ‘We spent every day out there in each other’s company because her best friend is a close friend of mine. Our mutual friend asked her if she’d gone out with Mario and she played it down and said she hadn’t, so she lied.’
The hidden secrets of the TOWIE girls
Grace revealed in the interview with the UK magazine that there was ‘no chemistry’ and they went on ‘just one date, we never even snogged.’
‘He’s a good-looking guy, he dresses well- it’s a shame his personality doesn’t match his looks,’ she added.
In an attempt to dispel a potential feud, Grace continued: ‘I think he genuinely regrets everything he did to Lucy and still really loves her.’
Lucy responded to the reports about Grace and Mario, saying: ‘I hear things have cooled off between her and Mario and that he’s decided to be celibate for a month,’ before adding sarcastically: ‘Yeah, course he has!’
