Stephanie Davis won't be "spilling the beans" on Zayn Malik in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
The former 'Hollyoaks' actress enjoyed a five-month romance with the former One Direction singer in 2011 but they are still on good terms, so she won't risk losing his vote by sharing the details of their relationship.
In an interview conducted by Channel 5 before she went into the house, she said: "I'm not about to spill beans, [on Zayn]. It was years ago, I don't know why people are still bothered.
"Zayn is a good guy and I've not a bad word to say about him, and I know he's not got a bad word to say about me. It lasted five months - is that even a relationship? It ended well.
"I hope he's happy now he's left - I think that's the best thing he could have done for himself. I hope he votes for me!"
The 22-year-old actress is now dating Sam Reece and was devastated to say goodbye to him in order to enter the famous house, but knows things could be worse.
She said: "When I said goodbye to him, it was like someone died. Even if I go for a poo, we speak to each other - there are no boundaries. I love him to bits, he's been my rock.
"But people go to war, and don't see their family for six months, and don't have a clue what they're up to. At least he can see me on TV - I know he's going to be there at the other side of the door.
"People go through a lot worse. I'm doing this for us - we've got an exciting year coming up together. He desperately just wants people to see why he loves me."

Chris Evans has reportedly stalled filming for 'Top Gear' after realising he has trouble talking and driving at the same time.
The BBC motoring programme has been dealt yet another blow after the new host, who has taken over from Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in a new three-year deal, failed to "master the art" of multitasking.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Chris is really struggling to master the art of driving and talking to camera, which is crucial. He is in a massive sweat about it because he often ends up fluffing his lines.
"The professional drivers are doing a lot more to cover for him and the camera crew are getting frustrated."
The embarrassing issue is just the latest in a long line of setbacks for the forthcoming series after executive producer Lisa Clark announced three weeks ago she was quitting her role - five months after she was brought in to take the reins.
Alex Renton, who has been series editor on the hit show for 10 years, will take over as producer on an interim basis to ensure there are no issues with the production schedule.
A new executive producer will be announced in due course.
'Top Gear' is set to return to screens on May 8.

David Neilson was treated like he was actually grieving after the death of his 'Coronation Street' wife.
The 66-year-old actor plays Roy Cropper in the soap and was involved in one of the show's most famous storylines when the character of Hayley Cropper, played by Julie Hesmondhalgh, lost her life to cancer in January 2014.
Following Hayley's passing, David admits his fans treated him as if he had actually experienced a real-life loss.
He said: "I do feel people thought I was actually grieving - people were very gentle and very nice and respectful. People are great and the great thing about being in a show like 'Coronation Street' which is so loved, is that you realise there is a tremendous generosity within people. They know I'm not going to mug them and if I do, it will be a huge surprise!"
David has been involved in his fair share of huge storyline during his time on the programme, and admits shooting lengthy plots takes its toll on the stars of the show.
He added during an interview on 'Good Morning Britain': "When it's full on, it's full on. It's like stepping into another life - it's quite odd. It's not like stepping into another life where if you're not at work, you're not at work, because people are constantly reminding you of what's going on in the show when you're in public.
"So it can be quite exhausting. But I've done proper work, I've worked on building sites, so I know what I mean when I'm using that word."

Lydia Bright thinks her boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent would gatecrash her wedding if she ever married someone else.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star, 25, has dated her smitten co-star on/off for the past eight years and is planning to get hitched to him in the near future, but believes all hell would break loose if she settled down with someone else.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "He wouldn't let me marry anybody else but I wouldn't want to."
Lydia's mother Debbie Douglas added: "They've had a very very volatile relationship but it's also been a very passionate relationship. I remember telling Lydia years ago that whoever you marry, if you don't end up with James, that everyone will always think she hasn't married the right person. And I could just imagine him turning up at the church."
The blonde beauty rekindled her turbulent romance with Arg, 28, last year after they went their separate ways in 2012, during which time Lydia had a year-long relationship with her former co-star Tom Kilbey.
Debbie said: "James is part of my family, that's why it is so hard when they do split up because obviously she's my daughter but when you've known someone for such a long time, you've got feelings, you can't erase those feelings."

Emma Willis has been craving "a lot of" cake.
The 'Voice' presenter - who is expecting her third child with husband Matt Willis - has developed an obsession with the calorific sweet treat and can't stop scoffing it down.
Speaking about her pregnancy, she told BANG Showbiz: "You can't make a cake out of just flour it takes a lot of things. I say cake because I eat a lot of it at the minute."
The brunette beauty will be just weeks away from her due date when 'The Voice' concludes in April and she's hoping her co-star Marvin Humes, who has daughter Alaia-Mai, two, with his wife Rochelle, will be able to take on most of the hard work when the competition hits the live shows.
She explained: "I will probably be relying heavily on Marv because I'll be about eight months by then.
"So, yeah, Marv is going to have the weight of two human beings on his back."
Meanwhile, Emma, 39, believes the forthcoming fifth series of 'The Voice' will be the most successful yet as the new coaches Boy George and Paloma Faith, who have replaced Sir Tom Jones and Rita Ora, work really well with returning judges Ricky Wilson and will.i.am.
SHe said: "Something has fallen into place, I don't know whether it's the new coaches or the subtle differences in the format.I think that George and Paloma have certainly made a difference, they have so much personality and so much charisma. Will seems to bounce off them brilliantly and Ricky has that relationship with Paloma and has done for years. I want more of them in the show."

Gemma Collins, Nancy Dell'Olio and David Gest have entered the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star was the first of sixteen celebrities to step into the unfurnished abode and was met by the sight of locked crates, which contained the group's sofas, chairs and beds.
In an interview with host Emma Willis just before she entered the house, she shared: "I can't wait to get in there. I can't wait to see whose in the house.
"Let's face it, I'm not exactly GI Jane but at the end of the day, I'm coming in here - 2016, fresh start."
Meanwhile, following the arrival of the first eight housemates - which included Danniella Westbrook and Christopher Maloney - Big Brother asked the contestants to elect the most decisive person to be spokesperson for the group. 'EastEnders' star John Partridge volunteered and had the tough decision of choosing which two housemates should be chosen to live in a box on basic rations.
Ever the gentlemen, John elected himself first and then chose Darren Day after he volunteered to be locked away, too.
From inside the locked box, the pair were then asked to decide whose suitcases should be locked away, settling on Christopher, Winston McKenzie and Danniella, who are now without their personal belongings.
Then it was the turn of the other eight housemates to arrive, with notable entries including Nancy, David and Kim Kardashian West's best friend Jonathan Cheban.
Once all the housemates had got acquainted, they were gathered round the dining table where Big Brother had another shock twist in store for them.
The two separated stars - John and Darren - were asked to decide whether they wanted to gorge on luxury food or to open the kitchen for the 14 other celebrities to enjoy a feast fit for a king or queen.
'Celebrity Big Brother' continues on Channel 5 tomorrow night (06.01.15).

Barry Humphries has joked the reason 'Downton Abbey' is so successful in America is because of its all-white cast.
The 81-year-old star - made famous for his popular TV drag act Dame Edna Everage - has quipped that viewers in the US are drawn to the ITV melodrama, which came to an end over the festive season following five years on screen, because there are no black actors starring in it.
Asked why he thinks the period drama is so popular in the States, he told the RadioTimes magazine with a giggle: "Because there are no black people in it."
Nevertheless, 'Downton Abbey' had proved highly popular, both in the US and the UK, especially during the final episode on Christmas Day, which sent social media into overdrive, when it pulled in a jaw-dropping 10.9 million viewers.
And, although the doors to the Yorkshire country estate may now be closed for good, the success of the show continues as 'Downton Abbey' will go head-to-head with 'Doctor Who,' 'Casualty' and 'Broadchurch' for Best Drama at the National Television Awards (NTAs) later this month at London's O2.
The ceremony, hosted by Dermot O'Leary, will take place on January 20 at 7:30pm and will broadcast live on ITV.

Boy George has been blasted for being "too critical" on 'The Voice.'
The Culture Club star, who has replaced Sir Tom Jones on the BBC One show for the fifth series, has already caused a stir on the panel after his harsh approach to mentoring didn't sit well with the other judges and the younger contestants.
Speaking to the RadioTimes magazine, he said: "I've been told I've been too critical. But on a lot of these shows, some 17-year-old kid is told, 'You're amazing', and no, what you are is potentially amazing. But you're pitchy. You hit some bum notes. You impersonated this person. That's what they need to hear. And you can say that without being nasty."
But the 54-year-old singer is adamant the backlash he's received won't force him to hold his tongue when it comes to dishing out advice to his team because he feels it's the vital component when it comes to excelling in the industry.
He explained: "If you can't take criticism, I don't really want you on my team."
Meanwhile, 'The Voice' is set to return to television screens across the nation on Saturday (09.01.16) for its last series on BBC One after ITV - which airs rival show 'The X Factor' - poached it for 2017 in a deal worth an estimated £33 million.

Stephen Fry has teamed up with Heathrow airport to give international passengers a handy guide to the UK.
The 58-year-old comedian has joined forces with the major international airport to create 'Stephen Fry's Guide to the UK,' a tongue-in-cheek video for the airport, to give visitors, who haven't been to the popular European country before, little tips and tricks on handling British etiquette.
Stephen said: "From Snowdon to the Scottish Highlands and London to Londonderry, modern Britain is a truly extraordinary place. With a fantastic blend of cultures and traditions, we're a nation renowned for its sense of humour, unspoken rules and little quirks.
"No matter where you go, you're sure to talk about the weather, will need something waterproof to hand, and are likely to meet someone who feels the need to apologise profusely for everything they do.
"In fact our nation's gentle apologetic manner is one of the things that I miss most when I'm out of the country.
"I hope people enjoy watching the video, which celebrates some of our wonderful eccentricities and welcomes people to the UK with a good old dose of British humour."
Set in a quaint British pub, the three minute video sees Stephen pondering the many things that make the UK a great place to visit, from the famous Scottish highlands to the Giant's Causeway and St Paul's Cathedral.
The funnyman also dishes advice on what to do when conversation strikes up with strangers, the importance of mastering 'the agreement rule,' cheering smashed plates and glasses, and handling the awkward 'after you' loop.
Visitors can access the guide on arrival at Heathrow via the airport's free Wi-Fi page and on YouTube.
