'She has an amazing body': TOWIE's Dan Edgar admits he will 'always have feelings' for ex Kate Wright... as she is linked to Rio Ferdinand
Dan Edgar has admitted he 'will always have feelings' for his ex-girlfriend Kate Wright.
The TOWIE star, 26, split from the busty blonde, 25, last year following six years of on/off dating, but he has nothing but nice words to say about her.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night, he said: 'It didn't work out. We're good friends. I haven't spoken to her for a few weeks. I was with Kate for a long time so I think there will always be feelings there. She has an amazing body.'

The handsome reality star is currently single and cautious of starting a relationship with another television co-star.
He explained: 'I'm not dating at the moment. It's not easy having a relationship on TV, I know that now, but I guess it depends on the circumstances.'

'I like The Jump. I would love to do it, I love skiing, I went in January. I'm not a bad skier. Never been approached for it before but who knows what could happen.'

Rio suffered a devastating blow in 2015 when he lost his beloved wife Rebecca, who he married in 2009, at the hands of breast cancer, leaving him a single father to his three kids: sons Lorenz, ten, Tate, nine, and five-year-old daughter Tia.
Kate, meanwhile, has seen her love life played out on screen in TOWIE as her chequered long-term relationship with Dan Edgar disintegrated on-screen.
Now, sources claim the duo have struck a flame, with insiders telling the publication: 'Rio and Kate have enjoyed spending time with each other with other friends. There’s a real connection there but Rio is in no rush to turn this into a serious relationship.
'His number one priority are his three kids and he will always put their welfare in front of anything else. But Kate is very smitten with him and therefore happy to wait and see what happens.'

Rebecca died aged just 34 after a short battle with breast cancer. She appeared to be in the clear only for a scan to reveal the disease had spread to her bones five weeks before her death.
Rio said his wife planned a large portion of her funeral before she died, letting her three children choose the music.
Manchester United players past and present attended the service to pay their respects, including Sir Alex Ferguson and Ferdinand's former defensive partner Nemanja Vidic, who flew in from Italy especially to be there.
Rebecca's untimely death rocked the football world with outpourings of support flooding in for the iconic sportsman from all around.
At the time of her death, he said: 'She was a fantastic loving mother to our three beautiful children. She will be missed as a wife, sister, aunt, daughter and granddaughter. She will live on in our memory, as a guide and inspiration. Our grief, as a family, is total.'
