She confirmed she had split with Another Level star Dane in August, after a five-year on-and-off romance.
The former air hostess, who had moved to Dubai with Dane, added: “The agency chats were quite intense.
“It was hard at times. I think I realised I am a little more vulnerable and fragile than I let on.”
