Chloe Brockett has admitted she "needs help so badly" when it comes to her love life.
The TOWIE star has confessed she often goes for "the wrong boys" ahead of her stint on the new series of Celebs Go Dating.
Chloe, 21, will join fellow reality TV stars Miles Nazaire, Geordie Shore’s Marty McKenna and Married At First Sight’s Nikita Jasmine on the show - all hoping to find love with the help of professional matchmakers.
Following a brief fling with co-star James 'Lockie' Lock last year, Chloe signed up to the E4 show after feeling like "a third wheel" around her coupled-up mates.
"I don’t think I need help, I know I need help. I need help so badly. I always go for the wrong boys," the star told OK! magazine when discussing why she thinks she currently single.
"I’m sure you’ve seen who I’ve dated in the past. They’re not exactly the best, are they? I think I end up mothering guys I date instead of being in a relationship with them.
"I had a fling with Lockie that was just a bit of fun. I don’t just want a bit of fun. I want someone I can be with and go on holiday with and have lovely experiences with."
Chloe's brief romance with Lockie caused major drama when it was revealed in the summer of last year - with the star later admitting the fling with her co-star wasn't her "finest moment".
James, 34, pursued a romance with the young influencer in early 2021, despite her close friendship with his ex-girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou, 27.
The drama made for some sensational scenes on The Only Way is Essex in the months that followed, with Chloe calling James out on-screen in September 2021.
"I've had people going to me, 'I've heard James regrets it,' and I'm like, 'What is there really to regret, we just slept together'," the brunette beauty asked the lothario during one tense episode.
"I've not said anything bad about you in any way, I've just said, 'You know what, it happened, we still get along really well and that's it'."
Chloe's single life away from the set of TOWIE has also managed to make headlines over the last few weeks - with the young star enjoying a wild night out with Manchester City footballer Jack Grealish.
Earlier this month, the reality TV star claimed she caught the eye of the heartthrob sports star last summer - enjoying a night of partying and 'fun' with football ace on the Greek Island of Mykonos.
"My first impression of him was that he was really charming, very chatty and friendly. And he’s obviously very good-looking. He seemed to be a lovely guy," Chloe told The Sun on Sunday at the start of the year.
"He didn’t use a chat-up line and we had a great time, talking, drinking and enjoying ourselves. Then later on, he asked me to come back to his villa and I agreed."
With the England midfielder very much back on with childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood, any chances of a romance with the footballer now look slim.
Luckily for Chloe, Celebs Go Dating experts Paul C Brunson, Anna Williamson and Tom Read Wilson are all on hand to help the TOWIE babe a suitable - and single - suitor.
