Steve-O has revealed just how much he regrets ‘ghosting’ Stacey Solomon, saying that he still beats himself up over their split.

The Jackass star and stuntman, 48, dated the X Factor star and TV personality for six months in 2015 after meeting on the second season of Channel 4 reality show The Jump.

The show, hosted by Davina McCall, saw celebrities take on a series of winter sport challenges with Steve-O, whose real name is Steven Glover, finishing 8th, and Stacey being eliminated in 10th (the eventual winner was Joey Essex).

In his new book, A Hard Kick in the Nuts: What I’ve Learned from a Lifetime of Terrible Decisions, Steve reflected on their relationship, according to reports.

However, it appears that he regrets the way it ended.

‘I was smitten, I lavished her with attention, I got what I wanted and then I broke it off. I had become not only part of her life, I’d become part of her kids’ lives too. And then — poof — I was gone,’ he wrote, according to The Sun.

He then confesses to completely disappearing from their lives despite becoming a regular fixture for the Solomon family: ‘To this day, I still beat myself up about the way it went down.’

At the time, a representative for Stacey said: ‘Stacey and Steve-O are no longer together. Stacey is really hurt by the whole situation.’

Stacey soon began dating, and eventually married, fellow I’m A Celebrity contestant Joe Swash and apparently bears no ill will towards Steve-O these days.

In the book, Steve says: ‘Ironically, I don’t think Stacey does [hate me]. We aren’t in touch any more, but she has corresponded with my family and seems to bear no ill toward me.’

In a typically self-deprecating way, Steve-O joked about Stacey’s forgiving nature: ‘She seems to be a happy person who can go through life without gigantic grudges, even when they might be totally justified. What a freak.’

Things have turned out well for Steve-O, too, and he’s currently engaged to stylist Lux Wright, 33.
