Kyle Christie thinks his ex-girlfriend Holly Hagan is a "keeper".
The 'Geordie Shore' star split from his co-star earlier this year following a number of heated rows during the filming of the current series of the MTV show in Greece, but he's now confessed he still has feelings for her.
Speaking on the 'Geordie Shore' Confession Cam, he explained: "Yes I might have flirted with Holly, but they [the rest of the cast] think that because I broke up with her, I instantly hate her. You know what? I don't f***ing hate her. I'll say it and I'm not arsed. I still f***ing love her and I fancy her to bits, I always will.
"After the whole bust up, after all the arguments and after the whole house turning against us, that girl was still there sitting next to us.
"At the end of the day, that's a f***ing keeper."
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old hunk announced earlier this week that he has quit the show after his grandad was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
He said at the time: "I had to put my family first. He's got stomach, pancreatic and bone cancer all in one. It's been hard because he's my best friend.
"If I'd gone back for the next series it wouldn't have been fair on production."
And Kyle admitted Holly, 23, had put their differences aside to offer him her support during this hard time.
He added: "When she heard about my grandad she got in touch and said, 'Can I be there for you?' She's been supportive."

Sir Bruce Forsyth will not be hosting the 'Strictly Come Dancing' Christmas special.
The 87-year-old presenter - who stepped down as host of the main show in 2014 - has had to pull out of co-hosting the upcoming festive special after undergoing surgery earlier this year.
Filming for the episode is set to take place next week and is too early for Sir Bruce to have made a full recovery from the operation.
The long studio hours mean he's unable to host the show but he will stay play a part in the production.
The much-loved star will record a special video message for this year's celebrity line-up and the viewers at home, which will air during the episode on Christmas Day at 6.15 pm on BBC One.
Claudia Winkleman - who has taken over from Bruce on the main show - will host alongside Tess Daly.
The news comes after it was claimed he was expected to make a "speedy recovery" after undergoing a successful operation on an abdominal aortic aneurysm a week after filming the 'Strictly' 'Children in Need' special.
His manager said at the time: "The procedure was a complete success and while Sir Bruce needs to rest and recuperate, it is anticipated, given the minimally invasive nature of this operation, he will make a speedy recovery."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has earned nearly £2.4 million since returning to 'The X Factor'.
The 32-year-old singer - who rejoined the judging panel of the ITV talent show last year - has reportedly made £1.38 million from her performing arts company Cherco Productions.
And her second business CC Couture has seen an increase in assets earning the pop star nearly £1 million for 2014, according to data publicly available on Companies House.
The 'I Don't Care' hitmaker - who is also executive producer on the current series of the show - also has other sources of income including her highly popular fragrance Stormflower.
The brunette beauty reportedly bagged £1.8 million on her return to the 'The X Factor' while fellow judge Rita Ora was tempted away from 'The Voice' with an offer of £1.5 million.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw is believed to be raking in £1 million and show boss Simon Cowell has pocketed £4 million.
Elsewhere, Cheryl is reportedly going to take some time out once this series of 'The X Factor' ends to spend time in France with husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini due to stress.
A source said previously: "Cheryl's virtually counting the hours until she can head off for a break from the constant pressure.
"She lives a healthy life as much as is possible with her schedule and that's nobody's business but hers."

'The Apprentice's Selina Waterman-Smith refused to appear on spin-off show 'You're Fired' because she felt the producers had been "disingenuous" to her.
The 32-year-old businesswoman, who was given the boot by Lord Alan Sugar in last night's show (02.12.15) after failing to make a sale in the property task, has claimed she will never work with the BBC ever again after it released "untrue" stories about her and made her feel inadequate.
Speaking to her fans via an online video, she said: "Basically, I'm not featured on 'You're Fired' this year as everybody knows. That's largely due to some issues I had with the production company on the show, some of the stories they released about me into the press.
"I felt that, not only were they untrue, they were very disingenuous towards me and in light of the fact they won't retract them, I couldn't work with that company any more."
Selina's revelation comes several weeks after she wrote on Twitter, in a since deleted post, that she had "broken contract" by not appearing in the secondary programme.
And, although many fans are sad to see the feisty babe shown the door, one person who is pleased to see the back of Selina is her fellow hopeful Brett Butler-Smythe.
He explained: "She has portrayed herself as a victim who has been neglected by the production team -- but she was the one who was mollycoddled. "
The buff builder has claimed Selina made the fellow contestants' life a "living hell" after she threatened to quit.
He added to The Sun newspaper: "She was going to perform a staged walkout, so the team did everything to make sure her needs were satisfied. She even had a personal cab service from the house to the studio, so she couldn't feel intimidated by others and look weak."

Tony Hadley's wife banned their children from watching 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' because of Lady Colin Campbell's bad language.
Alison Evers - who married the Spandau Ballet singer in 2009 - has confessed she hasn't let their two daughters Zara, nine, and Genevieve, three, watch their father on the reality show because of the way the 66-year-old star has been speaking to him.
Asked whether she'd seen Lady C - who has accused Tony and former 'Dragon's Den' star Duncan Bannatyne of bullying her - since she quit the show yesterday (02.12.15), Ali said: "She is in the same hotel as me but I'm in the kids area of the pool because I've got our two daughters here, which in itself has been difficult because they haven't seen Tony in three and a half weeks and I've had to actually deprive them of watching him on TV because I obviously can't let them watch her bad language, so that's been a little bit hard."
The royal biographer had been seen hurling a number of insults at both Tony and Duncan during her time in the jungle, but has now claimed it's her who has been bullied.
However, Tony's wife has insisted she's "proud" of the way he handled the situation and thinks viewers will see the remaining celebrities enjoy themselves much more now that Lady C has gone.
She told ITV's 'Lorraine': "He's one of the most kindest and generous men I know and for him to have to put up with that language, I'm proud of him.
"I think as soon as she left the camp, you saw the mood shift."

Lady Colin Campbell claims she was "run out" of the 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' camp by Tony Hadley and Duncan Bannatyne.
The 66-year-old star shockingly quit the reality show yesterday (03.12.15) on "medical grounds", but she's now revealed the real reason she decided to leave was because she felt she was being bullied by the Spandau Ballet singer and the former 'Dragon's Den' star.
She said: "After it became apparent I was getting all of the attention it caused a tremendous amount of bad feeling in the camp and then it became increasingly difficult.
"Tony's refusal [to be chambermaid as part of a task] became personal because I was a Lady with a capital L. Had I been asked to be chambermaid, of course I would have done it, I am a sport. And I don't have a chip on my shoulder.
"I think there were so many arguments because Duncan and Tony had taken the decision to shut me up, shut me down and run me out of the camp."
The royal biographer praised retired footballer Kieron Dyer and former boxing champion Chris Eubank for standing by her during arguments with the other campmates.
She said: "Kieron and Chris were wonderfully supportive, they showed themselves to be true gentlemen and I would hope we remain lifelong friends.
"There is no prospect of me ever having Tony or Duncan in my life in any way, shape or form.
"They have earned my disregard [and] they will have to live with it."

Coronation Street's incoming boss is keen to bring Helen Flanagan, Keith Duffy and Georgia Taylor back to the show.
Kate Oates will take over the reins of the ITV soap in the new year and she is reportedly interested in re-introducing characters such as Rosie Webster (Flanagan), Toyah Battersby (Taylor) and even Ciaran McCarthy, who Duffy played for three years.
A 'Corrie' source said: "She loved the idea of bringing Toyah back and said there would be endless opportunities for the character to be exploited after being away for so long.
"The same went for Rosie. She said again there would be loads of terrific storylines."
Should any of the trio reprise their roles on the cobbles their returns are expected to go down well with fans of the show.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "All three are well-loved characters and getting any of them back would be hugely popular with Corrie fans."
Helen - who has five-month-old daughter Matilda with Aston Villa footballer Scott Sinclair - portrayed ditzy Rosie for 12 years and later revealed depression was the "main reason" for quitting the soap.
In one interview after her departure the 25-year-old star admitted she was grateful for the role but didn't like her character's "bitchiness".
Helen's return to the soap was recently rumoured, but Brooke Vincent - who plays Rosie's sister Sophie Webster in the show - ruled out the possibility in September.
She said: "She's just had a baby, so I don't think she'll come back.
"I've been texting her and I've got pictures and things. But I think with Helen she always wanted to be a mum and now she's really settled."
Georgia portrayed Toyah for six years and faced some tricky storylines, including one where her character was raped.
The 35-year-old actress has gone on to star in 'Casualty' and 'Law and Order: UK', and earlier this year she admitted she has "great memories" of 'Corrie'.
Former Boyzone singer Keith portrayed cheeky chappie Ciaran from 2002 to 2005 and despite the role he insisted earlier this month that he finds it "difficult" to be taken seriously as an actor because of his pop star past.
