Joshua Ritchie talks Charlotte Crosby romance
Joshua Ritchie opens up about his split from Charlotte Crosby in the latest episode of Celebs Go Dating.
He discusses the reason for their breakup in November and admits he does still love her.
While the series is only airing now, it was shot late last year so his feelings may have changed since then.
Speaking on the show, Joshua says of their relationship, "It was fine for about maybe two, three months, then we moved in together, then we got back in this rut again."
"I care for her, I still do have a lot of love for her and I respect her."
Joshua reveals they called it quits because he wasn't ready to settle down.
"The thing is, she wants to have a family, she wants children, which I understand. She wants to get married."
"I don't want to give her a chance and it happen again in six months time, call it quits and have wasted the girl's time."

Charlotte and Joshua
The couple started dating in February 2018.
That August, Charlotte left Newcastle to live with Josh in Bolton.
It all came crashing down in November when Charlotte took to Instagram Stories to reveal the two-year relationship was over.
She wrote, 'Me and Josh have decided to part ways. Sadly the relationship seems to have broken down.'
Charlotte finished, 'Hoping we can still remain civil and wish him the best for the future.'
Shortly after their split, Josh announced he's taking part in Celebs Go Dating.
Charlotte was furious with the news and took to social media branding him a, 'f***ing little toe tag!'
