Vicky Pattison admits she's high maintenance

“I’m high maintenance across the board and I’m not sorry about that whatsoever.

“It doesn’t just stop with eyelashes, hair extensions, fake tan, that sort of thing, it goes even into emotionally, I know I’m high maintenance.

“I demand an awful lot from the people I’m with.

“I want respect, I want an equal, I want people who can match us.

“More often than not aftershaves cost more than my perfume, the spend longer than me getting ready, the certainly spend longer on their hair.

“Mario was very sweet, I suppose a bit more like the girl in the relationship, he would text and say ‘Oh I miss you, you’re really busy.’

“And I suppose I had to concede ‘yes I am, I’m sorry.’”

“Give the bloke a break!”

Mario had previously kept coy on whether the two dated, even though she was pictured kissing him as she left his house.

He told OK! two weeks ago: "That was on the cheek. Did you see a picture of us kissing on the lips? No.”

"You see the back of her head, if someone puts the headline 'kissing on the lips' or 'snogging' – people just, boom. But no, it was on the cheek."

"When she came to my house, this is the funniest thing.”

"She came to my house and everyone got so amazed by it but my friends were around watching films and stuff so we weren't even on our own. And I've got spare rooms so…"
