Sam Faiers still upset over Mark Wright

Sam Faiers is upset over the way her relationship with Mark Wright ended.

The 'Only Way Is Essex' star declared her love for the serial womaniser but he ditched her to propose to his on-off girlfriend of nine years Lauren Goodger and now the pair don't even speak because Lauren has forbidden it.

Sam said: "It's a shame that we don't talk and stuff. It's the end of an era. We were always talking and texting - it had been that way for years. Now, we don't talk or text, but I suppose that's because I've moved on with the shop [Minnies] and being single and Mark's moved on by getting engaged to Lauren.

"It's just Lauren, I suppose. Us being friends wouldn't work, would it, with Lauren being there?"

Although Sam has now moved on with Joey Essex, Mark recently claimed she is only with Joey to make him jealous, which Sam furiously denies.

She told new! magazine: "That's a load of rubbish. Mark's engaged now and, although I was a bit gutted about it, I've said my piece. I'm 20 years of age, Joey's single, we both enjoy spending time together and we both fancy each other. At the end of the day, what am I going to do, sit around waiting for Mark? It's not going to happen!"
