Sam Thompson’s ex girlfriend Tiffany Watson can’t watch Celebrity Big Brother – because she STILL loves him and says Amelia Lily isn’t ‘his type’
MADE In Chelsea's Tiffany Watson has admitted she struggles to watch ex-boyfriend Sam Thompson on Celebrity Big Brother because of his blossoming relationship with Amelia Lily.
The 23-year-old confessed that she still loves Sam, 25, and it's too hard to tune in each night and watch as he falls for housemate Amelia.
Speaking to , the reality star said: "I'll always love Sam. It's so hard to explain. I know a different side to him. When we're not on a break, we're like best friends."
Tiffany and Sam agreed to take a 'break' from their two-year relationship at the start of the summer - and Sam appears to be moving on with former X Factor contestant Amelia, 22.
Viewers have watched him confess his feelings for her and admit he'd like to take her for drinks in the outside world.
Tiffany told OK! she was surprised by the development as she didn't think Amelia was the sort of girl Sam would normally be attracted to.
"I didn't think she was his type," she said.
"I've never met her so I can't really judge. But it's not nice to hear, which is why I haven't been watching CBB that much.
"It hurts watching him with Amelia."
Tiffany admitted she's unsure what will happen when Sam leaves CBB, saying they don't have plans to meet up but will obviously cross paths given they're both on the same TV show.
When asked if she'd like to give romance another go, she said: "Ideally I'd want to put Sam on hold for a while, and go out and live my life a bit more, then come back to the situation and see what he's like.
"But I know we can't do that."
He's also expressed concern that any move could be seen as a "rebound" following his lengthy romance with Tiff.
Chatting to housemates yesterday, he said: "I’ve been so slow about everything to do with me and Amelia.
“The point is, I don’t want a showmance. I didn’t come in here looking for someone like Amelia.
“She’s not the girl that you get with in here, she’s the girl you leave and you take for dinner.
“I’ve got baggage, no one knows the amount of baggage I have.”
Despite not wanting to rush things, Sam has asked Amelia if she'd like to go for a drink once the show ends.
In a recent episode, he told the pop star: "I didn’t come here expecting to meet anyone. There is a bit more to it, obviously, for me.
“I’m also aware that I have come out of a relationship very recently. I’m wary that I don’t want to f**k anything up in this s**t, weird place.
“I don’t want a ‘show-mance’ or anything like that. I would quite like to take you for a drink afterwards.”
Sam previously told house BFF Jordan Davies: "It's really complicated for me.
"This is on the back of a three-year relationship. I would almost love to rebound with someone and say, 'I'm done now, we are ex girlfriend and ex boyfriend' but Amelia is better than a rebound.
"Amelia is the kind of girl I would actually date and like."
