Binky Felstead initially thought Alex Mytton was a loser.
The 'Made in Chelsea' beauty is currently going through a turbulent period in her relationship with Alex - who she stars with on the reality show - and has now revealed she wasn't instantly impressed by the hunk and never anticipated developing feelings for him.
She told new! magazine: "I thought he was a bit of a loser, to be honest, but he wooed me."
The pair's relationship has been rocked by claims Alex cheated on Binky - real name Alexandra Felstead - but she still believes in their love and thinks everything that happens in a relationship has a purpose.
Binky explained: "I believe people are in your life for a reason. I also believe we'll all end up with somebody, even if it takes time to get there. I do believe in love, but what's meant to be is meant to be.
"I don't believe in regret. Things happen for a reason, and it was fun. You can't help who you like."
Binky admits she hasn't enjoyed much of the current series - which has focused on rumours of Alex's infidelity - but she knew allowing her relationship to be filmed would have many difficulties.
She said: "It's not that amazing, but you've got to bear it. Having a relationship on the show is going to be difficult, but people are being so lovely and supportive."

Mariah Carey has booked an entire airplane cabin for £70,000.
The 'Art of Letting Go' singer is insistent on travelling in style and has ordered her aides to book the entire first class cabin on a British Airways flight when she goes to Cannes Film Festival next month.
The 44-year-old star will travel from New York to Nice, France, for a hefty five-figure sum so other passengers don't bother her during the flight.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Over the years Mariah has grown accustomed to travelling in ultimate style so she doesn't think twice about paying such a crazy amount to ensure her privacy.
"At least she'll be able to stock up on the missing passengers' complimentary eye masks and hot towels.
"Let's hope she doesn't demand that British Airways lays out fluffy carpets for her, kits out the upper deck with puppies and paints the interiors cream. To be honest, it would be cheaper for Mariah to just hire her own private jet."
Mariah - who has two-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with husband Nick Cannon - is no stranger to diva demands.
In 2005, she famously requested a London hotel roll out a red carpet lined with candles for her late night arrival and refused to get out of her limousine until staff had done so.

Jay Z and Beyonce have bought a £5.5 million home in London.
The superstar couple have reportedly splashed out on a luxury detached townhouse in west London, having looked for properties in the trendy Mayfair area and outside of London in the Cotswolds.
The deal is thought to have closed on their new home four weeks ago.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Both Jay and Beyonce are Anglophiles and have been toying with the idea of getting a pad for a couple of years now.
"On previous trips, they have stayed in five star hotels and, on one occasion, a rented mansion. While money isn't an issue, it makes sense for them to have a more permanent base and get to know one particular area."
A home in London would also make sense as the couple are rumoured to be performing on a joint tour that would arrive in Britain later this year.
The source added: "They are coming to England this year and touring before the year is out."
Jay, 44, and Beyonce, 32, appeared to enjoy themselves in the British capital earlier this year when Beyonce performed several sold-out concerts at The O2 arena.
The couple - who have a two-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy - were regularly seen out and about, visiting the trendy Arts Club in Soho and indulging in unusual cocktails at the quirky White Lyan pub in Hoxton, east London.
The 'Drunk in Love' hitmakers currently reside in Jay's native New York when they're not travelling the world.

Nicki Minaj is going back to her hip hop roots for her new album.
The 'Starships' rapper claims her latest material will be nothing like previous offerings and she wants to surprise fans with a different sound on her latest album 'The Pink Print'.
She told MTV News: "The tracks on 'Pink Print' are back to my hip-hop roots. I don't think it's something that I'm necessarily trying to do [go in a new direction]. It's like as soon as I started working on my new album, that's just the songs that I've been writing."
The brunette star, who recently released new songs 'Lookin' Ass' and 'Chi-Raq', claims she's
"super excited" to drop another new track in coming weeks.
Asked if the new song will sound like 'Super Bass', she replied: "Hell no."
Discussing the new material, Nicki insists: "I'm just gonna do what my heart tells me to do."
The artist is also promoting her new film 'The Other Woman', starring Cameron Diaz, and has a new natural look, after deciding to ditch wacky outfits and hairdos.
She explained: "You can either continue doing costumes or you can just say, 'Hey guess what? This will shock them even more. Doing nothing will shock them even more... I really kind of let things happened gradually."

Cameron Diaz is organising a girls' holiday to help Gwyneth Paltrow get over her marriage split.
The 'Other Woman' actress is keen to cheer up her friend following the end of her 10-year marriage to Chris Martin and is enlisting several of their mutual friends to whisk her away for a relaxing break.
A source said: "Cameron is currently rallying the troops. She wants Reese Witherspoon, Gucci Westman and Jennifer Aniston, although she's filming a lot.
"She wants them just to relax, have fun and make Gwyneth laugh. They're currently talking about the Italian Riviera."
As well as Cameron, the 'Iron Man 3' actress has relied a lot on 'Horrible Bosses' star Jennifer during her marriage troubles, and regularly stayed with her pal before she and Chris split for good.
A source told Grazia magazine: "Jen's known about their marriage problems for a long time. And ever since they announced their split she has been on the end of a phone round the clock offering support and guidance.
"She was also instrumental in helping Gwyneth while she and Chris were deciding whether to end things.
"It was great for Gwyneth to escape [to Jen's] when she and Chris needed time apart. And in the past few weeks, since returning from holiday, she has also spent nights at Jen's. It's nice for Jen to have the company too, as her fiance Justin [Theroux] is away in New York. After filming her movie 'Cake'. Jen heads back and they sit on the veranda and drink wine."

Katie Price prefers the "completely pruned look downstairs".
The former glamour model - who has eight-month-old son Jett with husband, Kieran Hayler and three kids, Princess, six, Junior, eight, and Harvey, 11, from previous relationships - has been reading Cameron Diaz's novel 'Body Book', and believes intimate grooming is "common", while she favours removing all her pubic hear.
In her column for Now magazine, Katie, 35, wrote: "Did you know Cameron Diaz is into topiary? In her 'Body Book', she admits she's a fan of her lady bits, especially the 'lovely curtain of public hair that surrounds [her] glorious, delicate flower!' Grooming 'down there' is now common - more and more women trim their, er, downstairs garden.
"Personally, I prefer the completely pruned look, if you know what I mean."
Katie also supports women who work hard by exercising and eat healthy to maintain their figure.
She added: "Total credit to any woman who works hard and has the discipline to eat healthily and exercise, but us girls will only ever be happy once we reach our comfortable weight. Some go too far and look too skinny, which isn't attractive, so it should be all about balance."

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault could reportedly be sued for a fatal car crash.
The 'Frida' star's younger brother, Sami Hayek, was driving a Ford GT when he allegedly lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a truck, killing his passenger Grammy Award-winning art director Ian Cuttler Sala in Bel Air, California in February.
And according to gossip website TMZ.com the brunette beauty, 47, and Francois, 51, could be sued by the victim's family under California law, as they are the registered owners of the vehicle.
Meanwhile, police officers are thinking about referring the case against Sami to the District Attorney for a possible felony vehicular manslaughter prosecution.
They secured a search warrant to look for a device called an RCM (Restraint Control Module) in the car, which they believe could help them confirm allegations by eyewitnesses that Sami lost control because he was speeding and hit the truck coming in the opposite direction.
Beyoncé Knowles paid tribute to her former colleague Ian, shortly after he was identified as the victim killed in the accident.
The 32-year-old singer wrote on her Facebook page: "Rest in Peace Ian Cuttler. Ian was a Grammy Award winning art director and photographer who will be greatly missed. His memorable work includes album covers for 'Destiny Fulfilled' and 'Dangerously in Love.' "

Jon Hamm has branded Justin Bieber a "sh**head."
The 'Mad Men' star thinks the 20-year-old singer - who is facing charges for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver's licence in Miami in January - needs a reality check and should learn "basic life skills" so fame doesn't ruin his life.
The 43-year-old actor told the May issue of Men's Fitness magazine: "Look at Bieber or whoever. You're like, 'What the f**k, man? What are you doing? Why?' There's no one telling those people no, and it's a shame."
The Golden Globe-winning actor said that Justin needs "a mom or a dad or a really good friend who can say, 'Hey, sh**head!' "
He added: "You see people in the world and you're like, 'Do you know how a washing machine works? Do you know how to wash a dish?' Life skills are something we're missing... just s**t you needed to learn in life. There used to be a class that kids had to take in high school called home economics, which was cooking and sewing and just s**t you needed to learn in life."
Jon previously lashed out at reality stars, including Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, for being famous for "being a f**king idiot" in 2012.
He said: "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly. It's celebrated. It doesn't make sense to me."

Cuba Gooding Jr. and Sara Kapfer have reportedly split up.
The Oscar-winning actor's wife filed court documents seeking a legal separation from the 'Jerry Maguire' star on Tuesday (22.04.14) after 20 years of marriage.
According to gossip website TMZ.com, Sara wants joint legal and physical custody of their children, Spencer, Mason and Piper, and child support will be determined at a later date.
The couple tied the knot in 1994 after meeting in high school.
Just last year, the 'The Butler' star, 46, gushed about being married to Sara on 'The View,' but he admitted he was struggling to find time to be with his family while performing in 'The Trip to Bountiful' on Broadway.
He said: "When you do films, you're away from the family, but I can still fly them in or fly home to see them, so... my wife and I... have this rule - never go more than three or four weeks without seeing each other.
"But I knew this commitment meant that I would be in New York City for a long time; I'm here possibly through September, so it's a bit of a pull on that to keep the household together. But she allowed me to be indulgent for obvious reasons... This is a once in a lifetime opportunity."
He added: "I got a wonderful lady that knows how to run the household even when I'm not there. (And) we're just blessed with wonderful kids."

Justin Bieber wants to delay his upcoming trial in Miami, Florida.
The 'Confident' hitmaker, is due to appear in court on May 5 to face charges for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver's licence in January, but filed court documents on Monday (21.04.14) seeking to postpone the case.
The Canadian singer's lawyers will meet with prosecutors and a judge in Miami for a prescheduled meeting later today (23.04.14), during which the judge will decide whether or not to change the 20-year-old star's trial date.
Justin, who recently reunited with his on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez, 21, is currently on holiday with his mother, Pattie Mallette, in Japan.
A source told E! News: "He took his mom and a friend to Japan."
The 'Heartbreaker' singer is trying "to be a better person" and wants to repair his reputation after displaying bad behaviour in recent months.
Another insider recently said: "He's making more of an effort to hang out with people who are positive influences in his life.
"He has started listening to the people around him and he knows it is not too late to change things. He's being more selective with his friends. He wants people around him that will help him and guide him and keep him on the right path."

Josh Hartnett has hinted he regrets dating Scarlett Johansson.
The 35-year-old actor - who is currently in a relationship with British actress Tamsin Egerton - claims that romancing some of his former co-stars has had a negative impact on his career and made him "a lot of enemies" in Hollywood.
Asked about finding love on set, the 'Penny Dreadful' star told Elle magazine: "I don't recommend it to young actors. You can make a lot of enemies in the business that way. But when you work with somebody every day, it's like trial dating. You develop a fantasy about them. It doesn't always work out, does it?"
Josh dated Scarlett for almost two years until 2007 after meeting her on the set of 'Black Dahlia,' and also dated Julia Stiles in 1999 after meeting her on the set of 'O.'
He split from 'Les Miserables' actress Amanda Seyfried, 27, in June 2012 after six months of dating, and also briefly romanced Kirsten Dunst, Sienna Miller, Rihanna and Penelope Cruz.
The actor also suggested jealousy has been a problem for some of his famous ex-girlfriends.
Discussing the secret to a happy relationship in Hollywood, he said: "Let them be on set whenever they want, with whichever co-star you're working with. Never say the scene is too sensitive. They get very suspicious."
But the actor - who began dating Tamsin "long after" he met her on the set of 'Singularity' in 2012 - admitted that none of his friends are willing to listen to him complain about dating some of the world's most beautiful women.
He said: "They want to hear all about what you're doing, but they don't want to hear any complaints. Back when I dated a few very beautiful, very famous girls, I said something once - it wasn't really a complaint - and my buddy said, 'Oh my God, my diamond shoes are too tight.' He coined the phrase."

Ryan Lewis has revealed his mother is HIV-positive.
The 'Same Love' hitmaker, who is one half of the Grammy-winning hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, opened up for the first time about Julie Lewis contracting the virus, after being given contaminated blood during an emergency transfusion in 1984, as he launched his new non-profit the 30/30 Project to provide access to affordable healthcare across the globe.
The 26-year-old star wrote on the organisation's fundraising page on Indiegogo.com: "If I could just take a few moments of your time, I'd love to tell you about the strongest woman that I know, my mom, Julie Lewis.
"In 1984, my mom gave birth to my older sister, Teresa. Due to a complicated delivery, she needed a blood transfusion and at that moment, my mom had HIV-positive blood put into her body. When she was finally diagnosed, she was given only a few years to live."
He added: "To honour the 30 years my mom has been a survivor, our family is raising funds to build health centres worldwide that will stand strong for at least 30 years.
"We're calling it the 30/30 Project."
The organisation's first mission is to raise $100,000 to build a health centre in the Neno District of Malawi, Africa, where one in 10 people are HIV-positive.
