The 'Geordie Shore' star wishes she never agreed to marry the hunk last June following just five months of dating and believes it's one of the worst decisions she's ever made because his proposal was just a ploy to end her career.

She explained: "I would go as far as saying it's [the engagement] probably the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life, only because he's full of sh*t and he's just done it for one reason only and that was to get us off 'Geordie Shore'."

The brunette beauty is even considering getting her 'R' tattoo, which was dedicated to Ricky, covered up with her new boyfriend Aaron Chalmer's name after he replaced his tribute to her with a huge inking of model Gigi Hadid's face.

But she added to MTV: "I'm surprised he didn't get his tattoo removed earlier than he did. He's picked a good looking girl to get it covered over with."

Ricky popped the question to Marnie eight months ago on camera while she was shooting the show special in Greece.

But their romance was short-lived as it came crashing down four months later when they split following a series of rows.
