The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star confirmed he had ended things with the lingerie model earlier this month after nine months together, having previously claimed she was his "first love".

He told The Sun newspaper: "Sadly we have had to go our separate ways. She's the first girl I really loved and I cherish the time we spent together."

The news comes just two months after Calum - the son of the late footballer George Best - said he felt "settled" with Ianthe.

He previously said: "I'm settled. (Ianthe's) got me settled. We have been together now for quite some time. I'm crazy about her, she's an amazing woman, she helps keep me stable and that's that."

The 34-year-old originally met the beauty as she was starring in a music video for Olly Murs.

He recalled: "We met in Shoreditch. I had just got a tattoo, and was walking down the street, and she was shooting a music video for Olly Murs, and I walked by and said, 'Who's that beautiful girl?' and the rest is history."

Despite departing ways with the model, Calum hopes he can remain friends and has no bad feelings.

He added: "I wish her the best and sincerely hope we remain friends."
