“I think if you look at the whole situation, it was all just silly, starting with the texts, then when I accused her of messaging Joshua, it was all just nonsense really from the start,” reported The Mirror.

He continued, “And then we sat down and thought 'Look, we've got a family'. Also, she's expecting so we have to think for the kids. In life you have to forgive. We have to move forward and move on from things like that.”

Classifying it as a 'wake-up call', he added, “I made a few silly mistakes. I did put my life on social media, I assumed things which were wrong. So I kind of embarrassed myself.”

Amir revealed they have now put everything behind them, and are moving forward as 'one big family', with the couple even staying in his mum's spare room the night before he left for the jungle, in a bid to repair Faryal's broken relationship with his family.

“Amir's hoping he can use the show as a springboard to help rebuild some of the damaged public perception of him after his marriage split,” a source told The Sun.
