Speaking to the Daily Mail, Belle shared her true feelings about the possibility of Anton being a bombshell on All Stars, saying: "Do you know what? I wouldn't mind seeing Anton again. He's alright.

"I've seen him a few times since we split up, but we've never had that tough, hitting conversation about things from when we were together."

She added: "It'd be nice to sort of have him where he can't escape from me, to have a chat with him about things, where you can't run away from it.

"But we're not on bad terms. I've spoke to him here and there, and, yeah, he's, I wouldn't mind seeing him...it'd be a laugh."

Although Belle admitted they weren't on "bad terms", she shared that he was "definitely an ex for a reason".

This comes after Anton faced backlash from fans for sharing a series of controversial Instagram posts that used images from his relationship with Belle, in hopes to promote his fitness coaching platform and discuss his personal growth.

Ahead of her All Stars appearance, Belle revealed she is ready to find her "husband", saying: "I feel like I’m ready to find me a husband! I’m sick of heartbreak and I’m ready to meet someone new."

This time around, Belle hopes the audience will notice her personal growth. She said: "I think I’m a little bit (miniscule!) more mature… the dark hair, they’ll definitely notice that.

"I’m not shy anymore, they’ll see more of my personality."
