'I've only just realised how s**t that's made me feel about myself for a very, very long time.' The 33-year-old says the 'trauma' of  relationships has left him single for the past five years. 'It doesn't even help when you have loads of money,' he added. 'I'd buy houses and get nothing from it. 'Bought cars, got nothing from it. I've gone out and spent £5,000 in Selfridges – and nothing.
