Mario Falcone and Chloe Sims
Mario Falcone has said he "give a sh*t" about Lauren Pope.
The 'Only Way is Essex' hunk can't understand why his co-star, who he shared a drunken kiss with last year, is so upset that he took her friend Chloe Sims on a date.
He said: "I'm a bit confused by it, we [Lauren and he] shared a drunken kiss in Vegas and that's all it was.
'"Lauren was seeing someone at the time and I'm pretty sure - this is what I'm told - she got with Dan Osborne two days after me anyway, so we can't have been that serious.
"She making herself look silly ... I don't give a sh*t about Lauren - my only concerns are Charlie [Sims] and Chloe."
However, since Chloe and Mario's relationship was aired on the show last week, their romance has come to an end, which has left the busty brunette feeling "gutted".
She explained to Now! magazine: "I don't want it to be [over]. The only person we're concerned about is my brother Charlie, who's Mario's best friend. Once we knew he was alright I thought the pressure was off and we could carry on dating, but it's complicated.
"Today, I want us back together, but I'd only want that if he wanted it, too. I feel like I'm in love with him. I know he wants to settle down, but I don't know if he's quite ready.
"He's got a whole summer of fun planned with my brother in Ibiza and Vegas, so he can't commit when he's got all that going on."
Mario was previously engaged to his former co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh, but their relationship ended last year after he admitted he cheated on her with numerous girls.
