Spencer Matthews' girlfriend Lauren Frazer-Hutton doesn't want him to meet her dad.
The 'Made In Chelsea' star has been dating Lauren since last year and she's even joined the E4 show but the 28-year-old beauty has now confessed she's been trying to avoid introducing him to her father.
Asked if they've met each other's families, she said: "Yes, but he hasn't met my dad. I'm holding off! He's started watching 'MIC', which is worrying. The episodes so far haven't been complimentary of our relationship."
However, despite admitting she's sceptical as to whether or not her old man will like him, Lauren admits the 25-year-old hunk is nothing like the person he appears to be on reality TV.
Asked if she gets offended when he plays down their relationship on-screen, she told new! magazine: "I'd rather not see it! I've had a key to his place since the beginning of the year and I watched him say, 'I'm not ready to give her a key'. He's trying to look cool in front of his mates. I let him, it doesn't bother me. I'm comfortable with him and know how he feels about me."
Speaking about what he's like behind closed doors, the stunning brunette added: "He's so sweet and considerate! He does so many romantic things. I had a bad day and he bought me a big pink fluffy unicorn - and he makes me breakfast in bed."

Ant and Dec won the Best Entertainment Programme and Best Entertainment Performance prizes at tonight's (10.05.15) British Academy Television Awards in London.
The presenting duo picked up their awards at the star-studded event at the Theatre Royal for their ITV show 'Saturday Night Takeaway', repeating their successes of 2014.
Speaking backstage after collecting their awards, Dec told BANG Showbiz: "What a thrill this is. Two years in a row for 'Saturday Night Takeaway'. It's a real treat.
"We absolutely love doing the show. We are only doing seven a year, because of the schedules, that's all they allow for. We work ever so hard on it."
Despite their continuing success, Dec insisted the presenting double act have no plans to slow down, describing them as the "luckiest guys in showbiz."
He joked: "We're going to keep going until we get found out and pulling the wool over their eyes!
"No, we're having the best time and like I told the audience, I get to go to work everyday with my best mate. We get to mess about, make each other laugh and we do it on TV.
"People seem to like what we're doing. We're blessed from above. We are the luckiest guys in showbiz."
Meanwhile, Ant dedicated their success to the behind-the-scenes staff who work on 'Saturday Night Takeaway'.
He said: "They are the most dedicated, hardworking team. And the work they put in, week on week, it's really brilliant and we dedicate [this success] to them."
Elsewhere, ITV's 'Coronation Street' won the Soap and Continuing Drama award, with producer Stuart Blackburn dedicating the success to Anne Kirkbride, who died in January after 42 years playing Deidre Barlow.

Louis Walsh has been axed from 'The X Factor' after 11 years.
Simon Cowell reportedly told the Irishman in person and on good terms, as he is to be a judge on the music mogul's Irish version of ITV's 'Britains Got Talent'.
A senior TV source told The Sun newspaper: "They are close friends so Simon wanted to do this in the right way. He didn't want to leave the discussion to executive producer Richard Holloway because that backfired so badly when he sacked Cheryl Fernandez-Versini from X Factor USA in 2011."
The source said that viewers had become "sick" of the judge, revealing: "Viewers had become sick of Louis' constant use of tired cliches and the same old jokes. He'd been doing it for 11 years and it seemed like he was just going through the motions."
The One Direction label owner previously sacked the 62-year-old eight years ago, but shortly after he invited him back because he missed him.
Louis reacted badly the last time round and Simon wants to avoid that.
The sourced added: "When Simon sacked Louis last time, he went rogue and started slagging off Simon and The X Factor. Simon doesn't want that to happen again, especially because he genuinely loves Louis as a pal, so the Ireland's Got Talent job will work out perfectly.
"It's very likely Simon will also invite Louis down to the X Factor this year to act as his adviser behind the scenes."

Mark Wright has added posh kebabs to his wedding feast.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star, who is to wed actress Michelle Keegan, will give guests something to soak up the alcohol they will consume throughout the day.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's likely that the kebabs will be served in the evening to help line the stomachs of peckish wedding guests after a long of boozing."
The former 'Coronation Street' star, 27, has sorted out most of the plans but was open to his ideas for the menu.
The sourced added: "Michelle has been planning most of their nuptials but was more than happy to agree to Mark's suggestion for what they are going to eat."
The 28-year-old is said to be a regular at a takeaway in his hometown of Chigwell in Essex, where some pay £17.50 for the Turkish delight.
This is not the first time Mark has splashed the cash on food and drink. On his stag do in Las Vegas he spent a hefty £35,000 on drinks.
The Daily Mirror newspaper has reported that on Wednesday (06.05.15), Mark and his mates downed vodka and champagne at the Light club. They downed 20 bottles of vodka and 10 bottles of champagne, followed by an endless supply of beers. The total bill of the night ended up at £15,000.
The next day (07.05.15) they visited Tao to see the former 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestants favourite hip hop artist, Rae Sremmurd, and that's when the total reached over £30,000.

Peter Davison believes 'Doctor Who' will last "indefinitely".
Showrunner Steven Moffat recently predicted the series - which currently stars Peter Capaldi in the titular role - will stay on air for at least another five years.
However, the 64-year-old actor - who was the Fifth Doctor for three years from 1981 to 1984 - is convinced the BBC sci-fi show can go on forever as long as the people making 'Doctor Who' treat it with the care and respect it deserves.
When asked what he believes the time span for 'Doctor Who' is, Davison told BANG Showbiz: "I think it will go on fairly indefinitely ... As long as there are people who are fans of the programme who keep on making the programme it will be fine. That's the reason it came back on air and has been on TV for 10 years. Russell T. Davis is a big 'Doctor Who' fan; Steven Moffat is a big 'Doctor Who' fan and I think those people understand the programme and understand that sometimes it has to re-invent itself and move on and do things differently and I think while those sort of people are at the helm then the show will continue."
But Davison does believe a break could refresh the series, but he wouldn't want it to be as long as the 16 years it was off air after being effectively cancelled in 1989.
He said: "Whether it goes on hiatus at some point remains to be seen. Although I was extremely disappointed when it was taken off air there's no doubt that when it came back that it came back as a hugely prestigious programme which is something it probably wouldn't have done if it had been on the air all that time."
Davison will soon be seen acting as the presenter of 'The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular', a live production which showcases the evocative and thrilling music written by composer Murray Gold for the BBC One sci-fi series since 2005.
'The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular' starts on Saturday May 23 at The SSE Arena in London.

Sarah Harding is "terrified" about returning to acting and starring on 'Coronation Street'.
The former Girls Aloud singer thinks she has a lot to live up to when she makes her debut on the ITV soap and is particularly worried about her appearance on "high-definition" TV.
Sarah told The Sun newspaper: "I'm doing a lot of facials because I'm gearing up for my first episode. High-definition TV is terrifying and TV adds a stone to your appearance."
But it's not just her looks that are making her nervous.
She added: "I'm really terrified because people have made such a big deal about it. It's been a while since I've acted and 'Corrie' is such a big deal. It's made me more nervous."
Despite being anxious, the 'St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold' would love longevity in her role on Weatherfield.
Sarah explained: "It definitely feels an exciting time. I'm a huge Corrie fan. I'd love it if my character could pop in and out for years."
Known to be loud and chatty, Sarah has found it hard to keep the details of her character's storyline a secret, especially with family members.
The 33-year-old blonde beauty admitted: "The level of secrecy has been totally insane. I have to really watch what I say. My mum reads all those soap magazines and is always telling me, 'This is going to happen'. I've told her a few things but not everything."
Starring in 'Corrie' will be a new chapter for the former singer - who has had a troubled past with relationships - after dating the wrong kind of men.
Sarah, who has dated Calum Best, Steve Jones and was engaged to DJ Tom Crane, shared: "I've let a lot of ar*eholes into my life in the past. I have lived and learned - and boy, have I learned!"

Joey Essex thinks Dan Edgar would make a good politician.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star claims his pal Dan - who joined the ITVBe show earlier this year - would be the member of cast most likely to make it in politics because of his suave appearance.
Asked who off of 'TOWIE' would make a good Prime Minister, Joey said: "I would say Dan Edgar. He's clean cut, looks good in a suit and has a bit of swag. He's quite wise, too - he isn't stupid. But he needs to pick himself up a bit because he's quite lazy at the moment. I keep telling him to go to the gym."
However, the 24-year-old hunk - who recently met British politicians for his new show 'Educating Joey Essex: General Election, What Are You Sayin'?!' - insists he would win in a political debate against his former co-stars Lydia Bright and Amy Childs.
Quizzed about who he thinks would come out on top, he told new! magazine: "Me, obviously. Because I'm respected in the government ... I have my own politics show now!"

Nigel Farage is being tipped to take over from Jeremy Clarkson on 'Top Gear'.
The former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) - who stepped down from his position today (08.05.15) after losing his seat in the General Election - has now joined the list of names linked to the job after Jeremy was sacked by the BBC for attacking a producer.
William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly said: "Farage is almost an identikit Jeremy Clarkson right down to his love of booze and fags - he could well be an ideal replacement on 'Top Gear'."
Odds on Farage being announced as the new face of the show are at 16/1 while former 'The X Factor' host Dermot O'Leary is a 6/4 shot with Philip Glenister at 11/4 and Jodie Kidd at 3/1.
Nigel, 51, also joins a list of politicians and former politicians being tipped to appear on the next series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Former Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer Ed Balls, who also lost his seat in the election, is currently favourite with odds of 8/1, followed closely by Farage at 10/1 with newly resigned Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and former Labour leader Ed Miliband both at odds of 25/1.
They would follow in the footsteps of former Conservative politician Ann Widdecombe, who was partnered with Anton du Beke on the 2010 series of the BBC One celebrity ballroom dance contest.
