Towie’s Chris Clark takes ultimate swipe at his relationship with Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson by suggesting Amber Dowding was on his mind the entire time
The reality star appeared to completely undermine his short lived romance with Jesy
CHRIS Clark was more than happy to blab about his relationship with Little Mix babe Jesy Nelson on Sunday night's episode of The Only Way Is Essex.
The 22-year-old reality star dated 25-year-old Jesy between February and April this year - reportedly ending things over the phone after he decided he was fearful of living life in the spotlight.
But on Sunday night he was more than happy to air his dirty laundry in front of the cameras as he opened up about his failed relationship to fellow Towie star Myles Barnett.
Meeting up with Myles in a park, Chris launched straight into a conversation about his time with Jesy - but it was not particularly complementary - and how he felt about his ex-girlfriend Amber Dowding when he learned she had been in hospital after she came down with a 'mystery illeness' earlier this month.

"So. I am now single and I see Amber... I see her at the hospital. She was quite ill. So I messaged her on Twitter and just said 'I didn't like seeing you lie that. I hope you get better'," he told a silently listening Myles.
"Despite what's gone on, her being in my life makes me happier. That's the bottom line," Chris said.
Talking about Amber, he continued: "I feel like if I kept putting that to the back of my head, 2 or three years down the line if she didn't find anyone else I would regret not doing stuff like this."
And still discussing Amber, he added: "At the end of the day, I'm a human being, I do have feelings, and I do care for the girl."
He continued: "I always have do, and I always will do."
He then suggested he had been thinking of Amber the entire time he had been with Jesy.
"I think these past weeks make me realise that I thought I was over her, I did think that. And maybe I'm not so sure no more," Chris said.
Little Mix fans were outraged by Chris's confession and took to Twitter to slam him for 'using' Jesy - with many picking out reports by The Sun that Chris had utilised his relationship with Jesy to boost his air time on the ITVBe show.
"So the rumours about Chris getting with Jesy then breaking up for a storyline are true?" tweeted one angered fan.
"Chris used Jesy for publicity and is now chasing his ex girlfriend Amber for a storyline and more airtime....how pathetic!" wrote another.
Another fan noted that Chris appeared to dismiss his time with Jesy, tweeting: "Ouch. @ChrisJClark_ throwing major shade at Jessy there."
However one viewer was excited to hear Chris and Amber could be rekindling their lost love, tweeting: "Aw I always thought Chris & Amber D were cute together."
