Chloe Sims felt "suffocated" while dating Elliott Wright.
‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star split from her co-star earlier this week and has admitted the reason their relationship fell apart is because they spent too much time together.
She explained: "We were together all of the time. Not many couples work together and see each other at home too. It can be too much and I felt suffocated."
Chloe, 31, also revealed that she felt "old" while she was dating the 33-year-old restaurant owner and noticed how she felt "isolated" from her friends as they were filming for the ITVBe show in Ibiza earlier this year.
She said: "I felt old and away from the others. It was like I was separated because I was in a couple.
"They were all off raving and we were having nice dinners. When you are in a relationship in the show you do isolate yourself and they don’t include you in the group stuff.
"I always trusted Elliott and I don’t want to feel old before my time. I’m still young and having fun. I don’t want to lose my independence."
The feisty salon owner has stood firm on her decision not to make up with her brother Charlie Sims’ girlfriend Ferne McCann, who she is currently feuding with on the show.
She said: "I won’t speak to Ferne at all. I would never make amends with her now.
"We’ve had it out with each other and she’s just not my cup of tea.
"There’s honestly nothing I like about her and I think it’s best if we keep our distance."
