Marnie Simpson admits she ‘still loves’ cheating ex Lewis Bloor as she posts ‘naked photo’ from Dubai holiday

NOT MANY women would enjoy going on holiday with an ex who repeatedly cheated on them and ‘sponged £25,000’ off them – but it seems Marnie Simpson is slightly more forgiving than most.

The Geordie Shore star today took to Instagram to explain why she went to Dubai with philandering Lewis Bloor, and admitted to fans that they “still love each other”.

Alongside a picture that appeared to show them both NAKED, Marnie insisted that they’re just friends now – despite revealing she blames herself for him begging another woman for sex on Valentine’s Day.

She said: “What a lovely holiday I’ve had. Dubai has been amazing and exactly what I needed a long break after everything this year.

“Just to set the record straight this was a holiday for me and Lewis to get away from all the stress and salvage some sort of a friendship.

“A friendship we lost along the way. We’re not back together and that’s not what this holiday was about.

“It was to talk and get to a good place again as we both have big places for each other in our hearts and despite the hard times and damage we still have a bond like no other and always have a great time in each other’s company even if it’s just as mates, and that wont change regardless of our situation.

“Just because we’re not a couple doesn’t mean we don’t love other as I think we always will deep down, I thank you Dubai ♥️🐘you’ve been the cure.”

The revelations are sure to worry the pretty 26-year-old’s fans who were left sickened when it was revealed that Lewis had enjoyed a drunken fumble with a Bristol-based recruitment consultant.

Amelia Guest told The Sun online that Lewis had BEGGED her to spit vodka in to his mouth after they met at a cab rank after a Drake gig in London.

It later emerged that Lewis had enjoyed a kiss with a girl staying at the same Barcelona hotel as him and Marnie as his girlfriend slept in another room – which he claims she brought on herself.

But despite such iffy behaviour, Marnie is adamant that Lewis is still the perfect pal for trips away.

However, her a lot of her fans disagreed and were quick to question what she was thinking – and warned her she was making a huge mistake.

One wrote: “What is wrong with all these women who have zero self respect? You are actually an embarrassment to yourself. I bet he is having a right laugh at how he managed to get away with that one.”

Others ploughed in, saying: “So you went on holiday to escape and have some privacy, then as soon as your back describe your holiday day by day, what stress do you honestly have that’s any greater than anyone elses?” and “why the f**k would you want to be pals with him after everything idiot!”

Another said: “A bond like no other?? F**k off you mug. He’s a total slimeball. He’s no Aaron that’s for sure. Get off social media. Attention seeking mink.”

Marnie was forced to deny that Lewis had “sponged £25,000” off her after her ex Aaron Chalmers blasted the ex-Towie star on Twitter.

She defended her sneaky lover, telling fans: “I have to post this for my own self sanity. Lewis did not take 25k from me it’s unfair for me to let people think that as it’s not true.

“And a lot of things have been fabricated through hate and callous.

“Although I did help him incredibly a lot through our relationship it wasn’t all one sided as he did guide me in different ways he was kind and loving and encouraged me in everything I did, which is why I’m so torn apart by his actions, I didn’t expect it.

“Our relationship was happy strong and amazing despite anything these horrid girls have said.”
