Charlie Sims won’t propose to Ferne McCann until they’ve moved in together.
The ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star has revealed he won’t pop the question to his co-star and girlfriend of five years until they have their own home and have lived together for a while.
He said: "We’re nearly five years into our relationship. People are like, ‘You need to put a ring on it!’ But we need to share a home first. I’m not into getting engaged before we live with each other, it’s not realistic. But getting a mortgage is so expensive and we need to save up."
The 24-year-old deli owner went on to admit he’d like to move out of his parents house soon as both he and Ferne are getting older now.
He continued: "I want to move out, get engaged and get married. It’s all in my head. And Ferne is 25 this year – she’s getting older! I’m the toy boy."
Charlie also opened up about his upcoming return to TOWIE, having taken a break from the show last year.
He explained: "I’m always anxious before we start filming. I haven’t had the best of times in the past, but now it’s going to be different. I had time out to get myself back together. I’m feeling strong in who I am, I know who I’m with and I know who my friends are."
Speaking about his decision to take a step back from the ITVBe show, he added to Star magazine: "I was having problems with my relationship and my personal life, so I needed time away. Taking a step back took a lot of pressure off me and Ferne. This is probably the strongest we’ve ever been."
