“Now I just want to move on with the kids. I respect her as the mother of my kids.”
Since leaving the CBB house in the shock, back door eviction, Jamie’s also opened up about planning a future with his co-star Bianca Gascoigne.
But, in an interview with The Sun Online, Jamie said she has to sort out with the situation with her boyfriend CJ Meeks - who on Tuesday revealed he was heartbroken at Bianca's actions.
He said: “She’s definitely got that potential, she’s an amazing girl.
“I know she’s got her situation to sort out on the outside that I need to respect, but once she comes out and sorts that out, whatever she wants to do I’m happy with.
“She’s definitely someone I want to have in my life...
“She’s got her situation to sort out but she said to me she really liked me and wanted something to happen with us.
“I’d like that as well, I’d enjoy spending more time with her outside the house and we’ll take it from there.”
Jamie's relationship with Danielle has been strained since he went inside the Celebrity Big Brother house.
On Tuesday, The Sun Online revealed how Jamie had upset the boys’ mother, Danielle Lloyd, after not calling her immediately after leaving the CBB house.
A source said: “Danielle expected a call or a text from him within hours of him being evicted, obviously to ask how the children were and to speak to his three boys.
“She cannot believe that it wasn't until almost 48 hours later he bothered to send a text asking after them - let alone a call to ask how they are, on a FaceTime to chat to them himself.”
“He’s been constantly on Twitter replying to fans, but she doesn't understand how a father away from his children for weeks on end doesn’t have them as his first thought now that he can speak to them.”
