Chloe Brockett's relationship with Jack Fincham left her in a "terrible place" and she is undergoing therapy.
Chloe Brockett's relationship with Jack Fincham left her in a "terrible place".
The 25-year-old star had an on/off romance with the former Love Island hunk from 2019 until September last year but she has admitted her constant fears for his wellbeing amid his battle with drug and alcohol addiction left her a shadow of her former self and she even had to give up on her podcast, On the Record with Chloe B because she was too "worried" Jack would harm himself if he was left alone.
She told the Daily Mail's Mail+: "When I first left TOWIE, I had so many things lined up, but the truth is I couldn’t even do my podcast. I had a sponsor lined up but I had to refund them. I couldn’t go out because I was so worried about being away from the house. I couldn’t commit to anything.
"I was so low and in a terrible space. I don’t think people fully realised because I put on a brave face for social media, and possibly because of the strong character I was on Towie."
Chloe, who split from Jack five months ago, is now undergoing therapy to deal with the events of the last few years.
She said: "I’m in therapy now, just trying to deal with certain situations. This isn’t me saying I’m in therapy because of Jack. I’m in therapy for a few things.
"I went from one scenario, with TOWIE, that was extremely intense, to a relationship that was up and down constantly. And Jack’s choices have had a really big lasting effect on me."
The former Only Way is Essex star found her relationship with Jack - who is currently in rehab - left her feeling constantly stressed and unhappy.
She said: "Watching someone you love and care for doing that is really hard. You feel quite helpless.
"There are so many things I tried to do, from weekends away to distract him to physically taking pills out of his hand.
"I spent a lot of time in the relationship upset and stressed. Sometimes we don’t bring out the best in each other, but fundamentally we do love each other. I think the addiction is very toxic and will bring out the toxic sides of everyone involved."
Though Chloe is "angry" about the way things turned out for the couple, she "forgives" Jack because she understands his struggles.
She said: "I don’t stand by a lot of the choices he makes, and I don’t stand by the way he made me feel while we lived together, but it still happened. I still support him as a person.
"I think that he’s been dealt a really s*** hand when it comes to his addiction.
"‘I forgive him because you can’t go through life with hatred towards someone. I still love and care for him, but I’m still angry, and I wish that things had been different."
And Chloe seemingly hasn't ruled out her and Jack having a future together one day.
She said: "With regard to the relationship, I wouldn’t want to comment on it right now because he’s in a sensitive place, but I wouldn’t say we’re over or together. I’m just supporting him right now."
