Fearne Cotton yearns for ex

Fearne Cotton still loves her ex-boyfriend.

The British TV presenter - who briefly reconciled with skateboarder Jesse Jenkins earlier this year, months after their two-year relationship ended - believes her feelings for the 21-year-old hunk, who lives in America, are preventing her from moving on and finding love again.

She said: "I still love him to bits, we still love each other but we just can't be together because of where we live. It's really hard.

"We tried to go back out with each other and it didn't work, so we're kind of trying to be mates. And once you've experienced love like that it's difficult to meet anyone."

Fearne also admitted she hasn't ruled out a reconciliation with another ex-boyfriend, Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins, after they recently exchanged messages on micro-blogging site twitter.

She added: "We're just sort of mates. Are we getting back together? I don't know really. I don't think so. We're just having a nice time being friends.

"I wouldn't go back with many of my exes but if it felt right at a time I'd say give it a go and see what happens."
