Stephen Bear wouldn’t have been interested in Vicky Pattison if she hadn’t lost weight.
The ‘Ex on the Beach’ star has been dating the ‘Geordie Shore’ beauty since June and though they are now smitten with one another, he admits he wouldn’t have approached her if she hadn’t gone from a size 16 to a 6 before they met.
He said: "I know this is going to sound shallow but I wouldn’t get to know that person.
"You’ve got to be physically attracted to them. I wouldn’t invest my time in someone like that."
The couple – who met on the third series of MTV’s ‘Ex on the Beach’ – recently split but are now back together and Stephen says she has moved in with him.
He told new! magazine: "She’s moved into mine.
"This past week we haven’t really been speaking. She loves me but she can’t be with me. It’s just been horrible.
"I haven’t been able to sleep and nor could she. Then we realised that we couldn’t live without each other. I cleared the right hand side of my wardrobe and my drawers."
However, Vicky insists Stephen has got "carried away" and says she has no plans to live with him just yet.
Writing in her column for the magazine, she explained: "I think he’s got a bit carried away. I stayed at his one night and left my big case as I was travelling into London for meetings – but FYI Mr. Bear, that was just for convenience.
"Don’t go cleaning out the cupboards for us just yet!
"I’m very flattered but we’re a long way off moving in together. He’s a lovely lad but I’m not going to rush into anything like that soon and I think he knows that."
