‘Do I still love him? I do still love him, yeah’

The TOWIE star confessed her feelings on today’s This Morning, and also said she thought Joey’s jungle companion Amy Willerton is playing up to the cameras by flirting with him.

‘I haven't watched one episode,’ she said. ‘It's not because I don't want to, and its one of my favourite programmes, but obviously when you still have feelings for someone that's an ex, I just didn't feel the need to watch it because it might play on my mind more.

‘But I should just watch it because I'm getting tweets everyday and its in the papers, so I might as well just watch it!’

'I do think that she might be playing up to it a little bit'

And talking about the chemistry between Joey and Amy, Sam said she couldn’t see it going anywhere.

‘If I'm completely honest, I do think that she might be playing up to it a little bit only because of how popular Joey is,’ she said.

‘He's so popular in everything that he does but at the same time why wouldn't she flirt with him? They are both single, she's a beauty queen... I'm not silly, I knew straight away when Joey was going in there that there would be someone for him to flirt with.’

‘But Joey's not really a ladies man,’ she added. ‘They probably thought it'd go further but I haven't watched it... but I don't think so, I might be wrong.’

Sam said she’d already warned ex-fiancé she wouldn’t be tuning in to support him.

‘Before he went into the jungle, when we filmed the last [TOWIE] scenes, we had five minutes with each other and we cuddled and I said that I probably won't watch it and made a joke of it but that I'd always support him and good luck.’

‘Do I still love him? I do still love him, yeah.’

What do you think? Could there be a Joey and Sam reunion on the cards?
