Mario Falcone feels "broody."
The 26-year-old reality TV star admits he’s keen to have children after meeting his five-month-old nephew Buzz – the son of McBusted’s Tom Fletcher – and even credits the tiny tot for helping him work out his priorities.
Asked how Buzz is doing, Mario replied: "He’s so beautiful. He makes me feel so broody – can you believe it? Mario, broody!
"He’s part of the reason I feel like a changed man. My priorities feel different now he’s around. I’m even at the stage where I ask people in the street if I can hold their babies. I’ve turned into such a weirdo. I can’t help it!"
The lothario – who cheated on his ex-fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh – is also determined to find the right woman and "settle down" with her but wants to take things slowly for fear of it going wrong.
He explained to new! magazine: "I want to settle down, but I’m wary that I could end up trying to rush things and I don’t want to do that with the wrong girl. But I’m done having my fun with
women. It’s time to get serious."
Meanwhile, Mario was suspended from ‘The Only Way is Essex’ after he was caught on camera allegedly snorting cocaine earlier this year, but he has since apologised for the scandal and hopes to be back on TV screens for the next series of the ITV2 show.
He said: "I was taking the show for granted. My attitude had become really lacklustre.I needed a wake-up call and a kick up the backside and that video coming out was exactly that. It’s made me realise how lucky I am to be a part of the show. If I’m given another chance I won’t mess it up again."
