Sinitta has revealed she's secretly been in a relationship for two years - and admitted why she kept it under wraps.

The singer, 62, appeared on Monday's edition of Loose Women, where she told the panel about her time in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity: South Africa.

As well as this, Sinitta also opened up using skills from her time in camp in real life and her 'Leeds lad', having not gone public with the relationship before now.

Sinitta had previously spoken about her relationship with ex Simon Cowell during her time on I'm A Celeb, confessing they eventually split because she became too 'needy and possessive.' 

Charlene White asked: 'Is that where the new man comes in to play?'

To which Sinitta replied: 'Might be it too. He's much more afraid than I am.'

Continuing, the pop icon admitted she and her partner had been together for a couple of years. 

Sinitta went on: 'When I knew I was doing the jungle, we kind of stepped back a bit because he's not in show business.

'[I] don't think he wants to be in show business and you know I was doing something so high profile.

'He would be fine, you know he's silly he's got the best, worst, bad dad jokes and everything. He's a character, he's a funny guy, a Leeds lad.

'So he's got a lot of personality but he's just not used to the [industry].'

Furthermore, Sinitta addressed whether it was her decision or his to remain away from the spotlight.

She explained: 'I wanted to protect him… and not just put him under that pressure but he'll actually be fine, I found my little Harry Redknapp.'

For many years, Sinitta had an on-off relationship with Simon Cowell, which later evolved into an enduring friendship.

During her time on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, Sinitta reflected on the pair's relationship, confessing she 'genuinely believed they were going to get married.'

She elaborated: 'He wasn't a faithful boyfriend. He won't mind me saying it, because he knows, and I was very possessive.

'I feel like Simon loves me and cares about me, but it's just… I think I romanticise everything,' she added.

'And then you see him with his partner and his baby, well, he's a big boy now, and it's like, wow, okay, everyone really does have their proper person. 

'I was the right person for a time, but they've just got this whole level that we didn't have.'

While Sinitta and Simon are still good friends, the star previously admitted her marriage to ex-husband Andy Willner was a 'revenge move' after their split.

She told the Suddenly Single podcast: 'I was trying to make that relationship it. His narrative was just be patient, and you'll have everything you want. 

'I assumed everything I wanted meant a normal family life with him. And then he met the love of his life and had a child. Silly me.'

'The man that I married was actually a lovely person,' she said. 'It was a bit of a revenge move at the time, but it developed into something. 

'But even during that relationship, it was obvious that there was unfinished business [with Simon].'
