Her relationship with divisive TV personality Stephen Bear already has the seal of approval from her parents.

But Charlotte Crosby admits she’s apprehensive about the prospect of crossing paths with old friend Vicky Pattison, whose stormy romance with Bear was well documented during their joint appearance on popular dating show Ex on The Beach.

Speaking to heat, the 26-year old revealed she is yet to speak with her former Geordie Shore cast-mate about her boyfriend, almost two-years after Vicky labelled him the ‘vilest’ person she's ever met.

Anxious: Her relationship with divisive TV personality Stephen Bear already has the seal of approval from her parents, But Charlotte Crosby admits she’s apprehensive about the prospect of crossing paths with old friend Vicky Pattison

‘It will happen at some point, and of course it will be weird, but more because we haven’t actually spoken for so long,’ she explained. ‘I don’t even know what I would say to Vicky now.

‘We never had an argument or anything, but something weird happened and we never spoke again.’

Charlotte's romance with Bear has flourished following their meeting on new show Just Tattoo Of Us, despite his wildly unpredictable nature.

Previously: Vicky's stormy romance with Bear was well documented during their joint appearance on popular dating show Ex on The Beach

Indeed, his appearances on Ex On The Beach, Celebrity Big Brother and, more recently, Celebs Go Dating have involved blazing stand up arguments with co-stars - amongst them unfortunate American singer Aubrey O'Day, whose war with Bear ended with him smashing a custard pie in her face.

But while their final scenes on Just Tattoo of Us also ended in mayhem, Charlotte admits she wouldn't want him to change.

'On the last day of filming, he was so annoying - we were all so angry,' she said. 'Oh God, it was like a showdown.

Opening up: Speaking to heat , Charlotte revealed she is yet to speak with her former Geordie Shore cast-mate about her boyfriend, almost two-years after Vicky labelled him the ‘vilest’ person she's ever met

'But he's amazing at what he does. No-one would've watched Celebs Go Dating without him. It would be so boring.'

The new couple's relationship has developed at such a pace that reformed lothario Bear admits he's ready to settle down and start a family with Charlotte.

He told the publication: 'Yeah, I'm feeling broody man, I'm ready to start the f***ing Bear legacy, the tribe. You need to lock us in a room to make babies. She'll be stuck in bed for ten years.'

Faithful: Keen to set the record straight, the TV personality insisted her romance with Bear only began after she ended an unhappy relationship with former boyfriend Ash Harrison

And Charlotte, who admits her family 'really like him,' insists she'd be happy to grant Bear's wish at some point in the future.

She told New: 'He'd be quite a good dad, so yeah!'

Keen to set the record straight, the TV personality also insisted her romance with Bear only began after she ended an unhappy relationship with former boyfriend Ash Harrison.

'We don't speak. We have no reason to,' she explained. 'I didn't split up with him to be with Bear. I didn't want to be with Ash for a long time and it wasn't even that serious.

'I did try and cool things off but he wouldn't really have it. So it kind of carried on in the background... (until) I'd started developing feelings for Bear.'
