Jamie O'Hara has a "difficult on/off" relationship with Elizabeth-Jayne Tierney.
The 30-year-old footballer rekindled his romance with the brunette beauty shortly after he left the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house earlier this year but it looks like things are on the rocks once again as their busy work schedules are driving a wedge between them.
Speaking to The Sun Online, he said: "It's a difficult one. It's on and off with me and her. She's an incredible woman but we just have a lot of work commitments. She works really hard, she's really busy with stuff and I'm always doing TV stuff."
Although things seem to be strained at the moment between them, Jamie is still hopeful that he will have a future with Elizabeth-Jayne but they need to work hard at it.
Jamie - who has three children; Archie, six, Harry, five, and George, three, with his ex-wife Danielle Lloyd - added to the publication: "It's a hard one to work. I'd like to think we have a future. It's hard to have a normal relationship."
But, despite the pressure he's under at the moment, the handsome sportsman is hoping to add one more project to his already-tight schedule as he'd like to compete on the revamped version of 'Dancing on Ice' when it returns to screens early next year.
A source said recently: "Jamie never expected to do 'Celebrity Big Brother' and surprised himself by how much he enjoyed it. He has heard about the revival of 'Dancing on Ice' and wants to be the first in line for the production. Jamie is nimble on his feet and thinks he could make a good go of it."
