The ‘Made in Chelsea’ star thinks his cast mate and real-life best friend Cheska is ready for a new relationship, and would love for a manly rugby player to snap her up.

Speaking at the Virgin Active London Triathlon launch at London’s Chiswick Riverside club this morning (Tuesday), Ollie exclusively told BANG Showbiz: “She’s very much single and happy. I think she’s looking for someone though, she’s ready for a new relationship.

“I think she needs a rugby kind of guy. She likes her cuddles. She’s got Evie [her dog] for that, but in bed she needs someone to give her hugs, someone more manly.

“One of the rugby players needs to snap her up!”

The long-haired lothario - who stars on E4’s hit reality show alongside Millie Mackintosh and Spencer Matthews - is worried Cheska could get her heart broken again because she is too sensitive and open with her feelings.

He said: “From past experiences, I’m not great at setting Cheska up. Cheska seems to find her own way, she’s got a very sensitive heart and she falls for people very quickly and I think that could be her downfall.”

Ollie, 24 - who is openly bisexual - also lamented his own lack of love life.

He joked: “It’s useless. It’s just useless. No one wants to sh*g me! It’s true.”

However, the club promoter added that he had a couple of dates lined up with girls this week.

Lydia Bright, Louie Spence and Mark Wright are some of the other celebrities tackling Richard Branson’s Virgin Active London Triathlon this September.
