Mario Falcone doesn't want a relationship on 'The Only Way is Essex'.

The hunky reality star - who split from his co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh earlier this year after he admitted to cheating on her - is adamant he won't pursue a new romance on screen because it just becomes "added pressure" and he would rather keep his love life private from now on.

Speaking to new! magazine, he said: "I probably wouldn't want [a new girlfriend] on the show if I'm honest, because of the added pressure. It's very hard to have a relationship in the media."

The Italian stallion is keen to focus on his tailoring business for the next three months, while 'TOWIE' takes a summer break, but he admits he might not return to the show in the autumn if he becomes too involved in his work.

He explained: "I don't know yet. It all depends on what's happening with my life and a lot can change in three months. If I'm doing my tailoring and stuff, it might be that I want to focus on that. Or I could be in a relationship in three months' time and it might be that I don't want another relationship on TV."
