Sam Reece says he's moved on completely since Stephanie Davis cheated on him in front of the nation.
He was in a relationship with the former Hollyoaks star when she went into the Celebrity Big Brother house and met Jeremy McConnell.
Despite saying she was going to "marry Sam", Stephanie soon became involved with Irish model Jeremy.
Poor Sam watched on from the outside world as Steph and Jez grew closer and closer, got very cosy and are even said to have had sex in the reality show house.

But now, Sam says he's moved on, and for the minute, he has other exes to contend with when he enters Ex On The Beach tomorrow night.
The show has seen many people clash over their exes, but how would Sam have felt is Jeremy was in there too?
Sam told Mirror Online: "It wouldn't have bothered me, I've got nothing to say to him. I've moved on since then and have had two relationships – I'm completely over it. I don't take any notice of them in the press, doesn't bother me whatsoever. I'm happy."
And he also made his stance on sex on TV very clear, saying: "I'd never have sex on TV, that's just not me."
Sam is currently dating fellow reality star Harriette Harper, and admits they were in the early stages of their relationship when he headed to the beach.
The model said: "I've known Harriette for six years, we were only dating for two weeks when I signed up to Ex. She'd done it previously so she knew why I had to do it."

And he confirmed that they're definitely not engaged, explaining that THOSE pictures of her wearing a sparkler on her ring finger during a date night was all just a big misunderstanding.
"We were not engaged," he said. "It all got out of hand. We'd been on a date in London and she was wearing my mum's ring for good luck, but then that picture got picked up by the media and it went mad.
"We've been together six months now and things are good, we're taking it slow – not engaged and haven't moved in together."
But will Sam's appearance on the hit MTV show have put their relationship in peril?
He goes in as the ex of Georgia Crone.

And does Sam have more reality TV appearances in his future?
He said: "If the opportunity came up [for more reality shows] I'd love it – would love to do the Jungle but it looks unlikely. Maybe I'd do Make Or Break. Would I take Harriette in? Absolutely no chance!"
And meanwhile, Sam is trying out some alternative techniques to deal with his anxiety.
He said: "Been suffering from anxiety recently, I've got into meditation to get it under control. If you told me three months ago I'd be meditating I'd have laughed. Social media doesn't help, there's a need to look perfect all the time.
"Lots of men find it hard to talk about mental health which is why I've been tweeting about it. That gym-bunny muscly look is ridiculous, so many people take steroids to look good but it doesn't."
