Jennifer was left devastated after discovering that her fellow Scouser Richardson had cheated on her with kiss-and-tell girl, Shalimar Wimble last year - spelling the end of their relationship.

She said the tumultuous relationship shattered her self-esteem however she vowed it wouldn't deter her from falling in love again.

After the split, she said: 'What's happened hasn't put me off men.

'If one came along I wouldn't go, 'No, I don't want to meet anyone else.' If it happens, it happens.

'I want to have children and get married but it is not the main priority at the moment.'
