When she asked Kem, 22, about being in Love Island, where he met Amber, he said: "I thought it was going to be the perfect relationship.

"You kind of want someone to always show you attention but then you realise you can be alright on your own.

"I used to go for the girl who I thought was the most attractive, but after a certain amount of time you realise that there isn't anything there.

"I realised what my mum said was right, 'Don't judge a book by its cover.'"

Kem and Amber were instantly attracted to each other, and became the second couple to have sex in the villa ten days into Love Island.

The pair had an on/off coupling for a few weeks before settling down and becoming official boyfriend and girlfriend.

They cruised into the final and said they were in love and looking forward to being together when they left the villa.

After a 90-minute final and an emotional declaration of love during the last episode, the pair were crowned winners of the series.

Kem told The Sun he was hoping to marry Amber after falling head over heels for her.

However, the pair split after just 132 days of dating.

Carol has been married twice - to Christopher Mather for a year between 1985 and 1986 and with Patrick King from 1990 to 2000.

She's bagged her own reality show titled My Single Life, which will follow single women in their 50s and their time spent finding Mr Right, or enjoying freedom as older women.

Speaking about the show, Carol said: "Some women might want three or four on the go at the same time, and some might not want anybody."

Talk soon turned to her own love life however, and the ex Countdown host admitted she has dated a string of toyboys recently.
