Kelly Brook and David McIntosh

Kelly Brook and David McIntosh

David McIntosh claims he and Kelly Brook have ended their relationship for good.

The former couple, who split in September after getting engaged in March, were spotted enjoying a date in Manchester over the weekend, but the 29-year-old former 'Gladiators' star insists he has given up trying to win the glamour model, 35, back despite wanting to marry her "more than anything."

He said: "I felt I was the best person I could be - and that was not good enough.

"People would be shocked at how much I did. But sometimes you are willing to give and give, but it seemed like nothing I did was right."

David also admitted "women are my weakness" and added: "Love makes the warrior weak."

Despite their issues, he believes he and Kelly would have worked out if she wasn't famous.

He told Closer magazine: "If she dated some actor, that would have been fine.

"But they [her fans] did not want to see her with some normal, tattooed lad.

"Maybe, if she had not been famous, things might have been different.

"I told her: 'I could literally have nothing, but if I have you, I would be happy'.

"But I stopped doing what made me happy - and I blame myself for that. I needed to walk away."
