The X Factor and Celebrity Big Brother star Stevi Ritchie has turned to stand-up comedy.
The singer appeared in the ITV singing competition back in 2014, and also struck up an on-and-off romance with fellow contestant Chloe-Jasmine.
However, their relationship is apparently back on, despite the pair cancelling the engagement, failing to move in together and splitting up at one stage.
Speaking alongside Christopher Maloney, Stevi explained his relationship status and career shift to Loose Women‘s Andrea McLean, Stacey Solomon, Jane Moore and guest panelist, Baroness Doreen Lawrence.
Stevi said: “Yeah, I’m still with [Chloe]. She’s great, she’s been busy. I haven’t seen her much actually to be honest, because I’ve been so busy up and down the country with gigs like, ‘A Night with Stevi Ritchie’.
“It’s very complicated, but I mean we’re all good now. We’re not living together, no. I have got a house.”
He added that he still hopes to marry her one day: “I hope so eventually, I really do. I love her, she’s a great girl. Very eccentric.
“We’re happy, we’re a lot stronger now. The trouble is I just haven’t seen her. That’s the problem. Not through choice.”
Speaking about his show, Stevi said it involves “more singing and comedy on the road”, adding: “I think I’ve got one of those faces people just laugh at anyway. Yeah, I stand there and just have a laugh and take the mick.”
As for his best joke, Stevi’s best effort was the classic cheeky quip you’d expect from him: “Why do all the Teletubbies all go to the toilet together? Because they’ve only got one Tinky Winky.”
Loose Women continues weekdays from 12.30pm.
The X Factor returns to ITV on September 1.
