Vicky Pattison left The X Factor contestant Christian Burrows after admitting she fancied him live on television.
The former Geordie Shore star, 28, admitted she was attracted to the 19-year-old aspiring pop star during spin-off show The Xtra Factor on Saturday night.
Speaking after seeing his impressive performance during the Six Chair Challenge, Vicky said: “I love him me. He got us all hot down the collar in that green room.”
Show hosts Rylan Clark-Neal and Matt Edmondson were then quick to remind her that she had previously tweeted about Christian.
She wrote that she wanted to “marry him and kiss his face forever”.

An apparently keen Matt then asked Vicky to give Christian a peck on the cheek in front of the cameras, saying: “Do you want to do it now?”
Rylan added: “We’ve made dreams come true.”
But things turned a bit awkward after the kiss - Vicky laughed it off but Christian buried his head in his hands.
Meanwhile, viewers tipped Christian to win this weekend after watching him perform Michael Buble’s Feeling Good.
One person tweeted: “Christian killed it! He isn’t the best vocally. But he has got it. Think he could win the whole show.”
Another fan wrote: “Christian will win The X Factor this year!!”
