JOSH Ritchie admitted that he still has feelings for his ex Charlotte Crosby on Celebs Go Dating tonight.
The couple called it quits in November after their relationship “completely broke down”.
Josh appeared on the E4 dating show just two weeks after their split and explained he still cared for his ex.
He had previously appeared on the show for couple’s counselling with Charlotte but explained: “It was fine for about maybe two, three months, then we moved in together, then we got back in this rut again.”
He continued: “I care for her, I still do have a lot of love for her and I respect her.
“The thing is, she wants to have a family, she wants children, which I understand. She wants to get married.”
“I don’t want to give her a chance and it happen again in six months time, call it quits and have wasted the girl’s time.”
Earlier this year Josh threatened to reveal the “real reason” behind his split from Charlotte Crosby.

Following their split, the Geordie Shore star, 29, took to Instagram Stories to claim that she had “so much evidence” about her ex cheating but that she kept it secret because she cared for him.
However, Josh has since hinted there’s a lot more to the story.
The former Love Island star, 25, retweeted a post by his sister, former Apprentice star Michaela Wain, who claimed he was being bullied by Charlotte’s legion of fans.
She wrote: “I’m sick of reading people calling my brother 24/7 for splitting up with someone. All these people think they know everything about someone because they watch some insta stories.

Charlotte previously hinted Josh had cheated
The couple announced their shock split in November
“I’m gonna start giving them a load of s*** see how they like being bullied. B*****ds.”
Josh then commented on Michaela’s tweet: “They all idiots imagine if I said the real reason why I split up from her.”
Charlotte announced their shock split on Instagram last year, saying: “Me and Josh have decided to part ways. Sadly the relationship seems to have broken down.
“Hoping we can still remain civil and wish him the best for the future.”
A source close to Josh told The Sun Online that Charlotte’s jealousy became a problem in their relationship.
They revealed: “Josh never cheated on Charlotte.
“Not even once. Like loads of celebs, girls would take pictures with him when he’s out and about and Charlotte used to go mental at him.
“What’s wrong with taking pictures with fans? Josh is single now, he doesn’t need to lie about anything.”
