London, Nov 2 (ANI): TV personality Jennifer Ellison has admitted that she has fallen for a convicted drug dealer.

After dumping two-timing Tony Richardson, the ex-Brookside star says that shes so madly in love with Robbie Tickle that she wants to marry him and have his kids.

Tickle, 29, was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court in 2004 for possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, after being found with 10 wraps.

He met Hells Kitchen winner Jen Ellison months ago when she was on a night out with friends.

Ellison and Tickle, who is a car valet boss and boxer, are now said to be on a romantic break in Mauritius.

Rob would never do anything terrible to meIve got no doubts about that, News of the World quoted Ellison, as saying.

Hes changed me as a person. I was so tense before, as Tony left me feeling insecure. But Im so happy now.

We havent been together long, but when you fall madly in love with someone you dont need to wait five years to take it to the next level. Well get married next year. I only want an intimate affair with family and friends, she added. (ANI)
