Binky Felstead insists she needs to spend some alone time with Alex Mytton.
The 'Made In Chelsea' star has confessed she is now on speaking terms with her former boyfriend - who cheated on her on a number of occasions during the last series of the E4 reality series - and claims people need to understand that the situation is not as black-and-white as it seems.
She said: "What people watching didn't see before Alex cheated is that the two of us spent every day together and talked about our future. It's very difficult when you're in love to just turn that off and say no to the relationship.
"I need to have some alone time with Alex."
Despite appearing to fall out with close friends and co-stars, including Lucy Watson and Cheska Hull, during the cheating scandal, Binky claims she's had a lot of support and just needs time to decide how she will move forward.
She explained: "People may think I've been pushing my girlfriends away, but it isn't like that at all. It's very difficult to take their advice when your head is a mess and you're crying all the time, trying to make something work."
Binky added to Closer magazine: "They have all been amazing, I call them everyday. I've always valued my friendships."

Metallica headlined at Glastonbury tonight (27.06.14).
The heavy rock band - consisting of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammet and Robert Trujillo - kicked off their energetic set on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset this evening with their classic hit 'Creeping Death', which had fans violently head-banging along.
The stage flashed with red and gold lights as the American quartet - who are the first metal act to headline the festival since 1970 - performed hits such as 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' and 'Wherever I May Roam'.
The group then got a little sentimental as they admitted they felt honoured to be representing heavy music.
Lead vocalist, James, 50, told the crowd: "Well Glastonbury, Metallica is grateful to be invited to such an event called Glastonbury.
"We're very proud to be here and to be representing, shall we say, the heavier side of music.
"Me and the boys would like to dedicate this new song to everyone here who's been waiting for someone like us and also to all the heavy metal British bands who have ever dreamed or are still dreaming of playing here."
He later dedicated their 2008 song 'Cyanide' to those whose soul has been moved by music.
The band then asked for the lights to be turned on so they could see "the Glastonbury family", before rounding off the show with their final song, 'Seek and Destroy'.

Lamar Odom reportedly told Khloé Kardashian he loves her on her 30th birthday yesterday (27.06.14).
The reality TV star filed for divorce from the 34-year-old basketball player in December, but he still reached out to her on her special day to declare his feelings for her.
A source told the HollywoodLife.com: "He made contact with Khloé on her birthday, but said it was real, real brief. He just wanted to tell her happy birthday and wish her well on this new decade in her life.
"He even told her he loves her and she said, 'Thank you,' but she didn't say I love you back. He was slightly hurt by that but he understood."
Despite Lamar's emotional message, Khloé didn't seem to let it put a dampener on her evening as she was spotted partying on a private yacht with her new boyfriend French Montana in New York City.
The 29-year-old rapper went on all out for the brunette beauty's milestone and spoiled her with over a $100,000 worth of gifts, including a $10,000 diamond gold grill, a $49,000 white Jeep and a $25,000 diamond ring.
Meanwhile, Khloé was left devastated last year when her four-year marriage broke down after rumours emerged that Lamar, 34, was addicted to cocaine and had cheated on her multiple times with different women.
The former couple's divorce is yet to be finalised.

Lana Del Rey played an emotional set at Glastonbury today (28.06.14).
The 'Blue Jeans' singer looked stunning in an orange, green and yellow tie dye dress on the Pyramid Stage as she performed some of her most heartbreaking songs - including 'Born To Die' and 'Summertime Sadness' - at the event at Worthy Farm in Somerset this afternoon.
The 28-year-old star appeared glum as she belted out the lyrics to 'Young and Beautiful' followed by tracks such as 'West Coast' from her new album 'Ultraviolence'.
At one point, she told the crowd: "I hope you guys are having the time of your lives."
However, some members of the crowd complained about her lack of conversation with the festival goers.
Although, fans seemed more than impressed when the brunette beauty - who was sporting her usual smudged black eyeliner - struck up a cigarette during her performance of 'Blue Jeans' as black and white videos flashed up on the screen behind her.
Lana then had an intimate moment on stage with her guitar player as she wrapped her arms around his waist as she looked out across the field at her adoring fans.
She finished off the show with 'Ride', 'Video Games' and 'National Anthem'.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West want a "bigger" home in New York City.
The 37-year-old rapper already owns a bachelor pad in Soho, but him and his wife are reportedly on the hunt for a larger property in the big apple as they want their 12-month-old daughter North to have her own bedroom.
A source told PEOPLE.com: "They need a bigger space with private parking."
The couple, who got married last month in Florence, Italy, sparked rumours last week they were looking to buy a plush pad on the East Coast after Kim, 33, was spotted viewing a $21 million apartment on Lafayette Street with her half-sister Kendall, 18, and mother Kris Jenner, 58.
The brunette beauty also viewed a $17.25 million townhouse in Greenwich Village, which boasts six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a secluded garden and private parking inside the building.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star then took Kendall and Kris to see a $13 million penthouse, which comes with a stunning terrace and private pool.
Kim, Kanye and North are currently staying at Kris' home in Los Angeles while they wait for the renovations on their new Bel Air mansion to be completed.
The family were hoping to move into the property at the end of last year but, after a few electrical glitches, their moving date has been pushed back until later this year.

Billy Connolly almost died after doctors failed to spot a life-threatening blood clot in his leg.
The 71-year-old comedian was rushed to hospital in a taxi after he developed a deadly clot in his thigh following surgery on his prostate last year.
His wife Pamela Stephenson, 64, told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I knew it was a clot but the doctors weren't listening to me.
"Eventually I spoke to an intern on the phone, who said, 'Just get him to the hospital right away!' "
The psychologist said her husband was "in agony and crying with pain" as they travelled to the hospital, but he still managed to crack a joke or two on the way.
She explained: "The road was in a very bad condition, so the taxi was bumping over it, and Billy was saying 'Uh-oh, he drives just like you Pamsy!'
"I said, 'Billy, I'm saving your life here, stop going on about my driving.' Even though he was going through so much pain, he never stopped being his hilarious, curmudgeonly, adorable self."
Medical stuff managed to treat the blood clot in time and Billy was discharged from hospital, but the problem emerged again when he was filming a documentary about dealing with death, which aired on ITV in May.
However, his daughter Amy, a researcher on the show, noticed the issue and took him to hospital for treatment.
Billy was diagnosed with prostate cancer and Parkinson's disease - a neurological disorder which affects the central nervous system and brain - on the same day last year, but he has since been given the all-clear from cancer and is trying to keep his brain active with crosswords to help control his Parkinson's.

Khloé Kardashian celebrated her 30th birthday on a private yacht yesterday (27.06.14).
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star and her family gathered at Chelsea Piers in New York last night to mark her milestone with a luxury ride on the Hudson river to view the city's stunning skyline under the stars.
The brunette beauty was joined by her boyfriend French Montana, her sisters Kim and Kourtney, her mother Kris Jenner, and her step-sisters Kendall and Kylie as the family were treated to a candle-lit meal onboard.
Khloé looked stunning dressed in a floor-length white gown and gold slingback heels, before covering up her frock with a huge sweatshirt as the night drew to a close.
The reality TV star was seen sipping on champagne as she cuddled up to French, 29, before leaning in for a smooch under the moon-lit sky.
The couple may have only been together a few months, but the rapper was keen to shower Khloé with a number of thoughtful, yet expensive, birthday gifts.
French - whose real name is Karim Kharbouch - spent more than $100,000 on his new girlfriend, including a $10,000 diamond gold grill, a $49,000 white Jeep and a $25,000 diamond ring, which he gave to her at her first birthday bash at the upmarket Don Coqui restaurant in the Bronx, New York City on Friday (26.06.14).

Keira Knightley thinks it's a "miracle" she's still married after her husband tried to teach her to play guitar.
The 'Begin Again' star - who plays aspiring singer Greta in the upcoming comedy-drama - admits she almost fell out with her beau James Righton because he got frustrated with her lack of "ability" to play the instrument.
Speaking on the 'Today' show yesterday (27.06.14), Keira - who plays guitar in the movie - said: "He is a musician and he did try [to teach me guitar]. It didn't go so well, it's a miracle we're still married. I didn't have the natural ability for the guitar. It was a little bit stressful but we're still together, so it was fine, and I didn't kill him and he didn't kill me, so it was fine."
Meanwhile, the 29-year-old actress admits she's regularly mistaken for her fellow celebrities Britney Spears, Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, and Natalie Portman, but tries to see it as an advantage.
She explained: "Three times [I've been mistaken for] Britney, mostly Natalie Portman, and I've also had Kate Winslet, I've also had Rachel Weisz. I always sign for other people. [I sign] their names.
"I've been Natalie a million times. I've been chased through airports as Natalie Portman."

Sophie Ellis-Bextor talked about taking babies to festivals backstage with Lily Allen at Glastonbury.
The 'Love is a Camera' singer - who performed on Friday (27.06.14) at the world famous music event at Worthy Farm in Somerset, South West England - claims her experience this time around has been very different now she's a mum to children Sonny, 10, and Kit, five, who she has with husband Richard Jones, and she was bonding over parenthood with 'Hard Out Here' singer Lily after her set.
She told Bang Showbiz: "I saw Lily Allen backstage but I missed her set, I heard she had huge milk bottles on stage, we just talked about bringing babies to festivals.
"My eldest has been to Glastonbury when The Feeling played the Pyramid Stage and he was only four. I would bring them here.
"We took the kids camping about three weeks ago to the New Forest but we wouldn't do the whole camping thing at a festival."
Sophie got caught in the thunderstorms yesterday (27.06.14), but claims she was "quite prepared" for bad weather.
She said: "I actually thought yesterday was going to be more of a washout than it was. I've got a tour bus and I've done Glastonbury twice now. It's totally different this time because the first time I was 19 and in a band. This time I'm a solo artist with five solo albums to my name."
The 35-year-old pop star performed tracks from her current album 'Wanderlust' and then some of her disco hits from her early career during her set on the Avalon Stage.
She said: "The set was quite bonkers. We did the new album and then I had a costume change and then we did disco.
"The response to the album has been overwhelming. I have a silver disk and it's done so much better than I ever thought it would. I'm very lucky."
Sophie is a fan of Glastonbury and made sure she caught headliners Arcade Fire, who performed after a huge thunderstorm knocked the power out in a number of areas.
She said: "I also saw Skrillex and M.I.A and they were great.
"It's the festival everyone talks about and I think all the artists that play bring their best game."
Rita Ora also refused to let the thunder and lightening ruin her fun and held a private rave in her VIP Winnebagos.
She turned the music up, got everyone dancing and, at one point, was seen using a blu e-Cig as a glow stick.

Shia LaBeouf has reportedly been banned from a restaurant after he was caught allegedly peeing on the wall outside last month.
The troubled actor - who has sparked fears over his mental health in recent months - could face a life-time ban from The Local Peasant in Sherman Oaks, California, after the manager witnessed him urinating in the car park during his four-hour visit to the eatery.
A source told TMZ.com: "The manager followed Shia to the parking lot, where he saw the actor peeing on the wall ... Shia profusely apologised in an odd rant.
"He [Shia then] went back inside and tried ordering food, but the manager had enough and told Shia to get out. The two [of them] had words, Shia paid his tab and stormed out vowing never to return."
The alleged incident comes just weeks before the 28-year-old star was arrested at a Broadway theatre yesterday (27.06.14) for yelling offensive language and slapping people's bottoms during a performance of 'Cabaret' at Studio 54 in New York City.
Shia was charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing yesterday morning, and is set to appear in court on July 24.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, the 'Transformers' star stormed out of a 'Nymphomaniac' press conference in Berlin, before arriving on the red carpet for the film's German premiere wearing a paper bag on his head that read, "I am not famous any more."
He was also forced to apologise for alleged plagiarism and starred in his own silent art installation in Los Angeles.

Sharon Osbourne regrets getting weight loss surgery.
The 61-year-old television host underwent a gastric bypass procedure in 1999 after spending years battling with her weight, but she admits she felt like a "cheat" because she wasn't losing the pounds healthily.
Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', she said: "I felt like such a cheat when I had that band on my stomach. It makes you vomit the whole time. Nothing goes down because it goes out."
The former 'X Factor' UK judge - who is married to Ozzy Osbourne and has children Aimee, Kelly and Jack - now controls her weight by sticking to the low-carbohydrate Atkins diet, but she admits she still has "cheat" days.
She explained: "I'd be fibbing if I said I don't cheat because I do cheat. I cheat a lot on my diet. We all do, but I don't guilt myself out because the next day I'll start with my Atkins breakfast sandwich and I'm right back on it."
Meanwhile, Kelly, 29, recently admitted that Sharon, who underwent surgery for colon cancer in 2002 and had a double mastectomy in 2012, is her biggest inspiration.
She said previously: "She taught me to be a fighter, that a smile can be the best medicine, to live every day as if it's your last, that family is all that really matters, and that love is the only true thing that lasts forever."

Kim Kardashian's baby daughter became the victim of a racial attack while onboard a plane last month.
The reality TV star's 12-month-old daughter North, whom she has with husband Kanye West, was allegedly screamed at by a woman while travelling in first class.
Speaking to her sister Khloé in a preview of Sunday's (29.06.14) episode of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', Kim recalled the horrifying incident: "I fell asleep, I woke up to this woman screaming, 'Kanye West's baby!' The woman is screaming at my child, I jump up," before Khloé adds, "I would've punched her in her face."
Kim, 33, replies: "No, we were on a plane -- I wanted to."
The brunette beauty's mother Kris Jenner then tells Khloé, 30, more details about the verbal attack later on in the episode.
She revealed: "This lady stood up in the cabin in first class and yelled at the top of her lungs, 'She's with a black guy, and that baby is black! And you need to shut that black baby up!' "
Meanwhile, Kim, who is of Armenian descent, took to her blog last month to express her thoughts on racism after "personally" experiencing acts of discrimination.
She wrote in the heartfelt post: "To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else's battle.
"But recently, I've read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realise that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been."
