A Teesside firebreather has hit back at “haters” after her stint on ITV’s Take Me Out.
Circus performer Looci Sohma was left stunned as her ex Nick Knight stepped from the “lift of love” on the dating show.
But despite cupid firing a second arrow at the pair, she sidestepped further romance
And now, the 26-year-old has firmly stubbed out hopes of rekindling the flames with her ex – while blasting trolls who criticised her for not taking him back.
Looci, originally from Hartburn in Stockton, said: “I would never want to lead someone on, especially Nick, so I didn’t promise a world I wasn’t sure I could deliver.
“It was a year before I told Nick I loved him, so expecting me to fall back into his arms after a day was very optimistic.
“It broke my heart when we broke up before.
“Nearly seeing me cry on camera is about as vulnerable as anyone will ever see me.”
Looci, who describes herself as having a “stone-clad heart”, added in the post on Facebook: “I could’ve spent the weekend acting. I could’ve pretended it was all peachy.
“But in the long run, that would’ve destroyed him if I built his hopes like that.
I was not willing to do that. Regardless of the reaction I’m receiving from trolls now.
“I will take all the hate if it means he gets less hurt.”
The show aired three weeks ago and despite admitting it was a moving experience Looci feels the decision is for the best.
She said: “I got myself very depressed following the show. We both did. Making the decision to not be together was not easy, but it was mutual.
“I wanted him to have the chance to meet a lovely girl who wants all the same things in life as he does.
“He met a girl very quickly after we came to this decision, and opted to stay at home with her and send me to the reunion on my own... bit tight Nicky!
“With the help of my friends, family and random people sending me lovely messages I’m pretty much back to my normal, happy self.
“As we all know, haters gon’ hate! But I can only be myself. If you don’t like me, I don’t mind...though if you have something nasty to say about me, say it to my face.
“I’ll always love the boy, but we’re not in love anymore.
“I recommend him as a boyfriend, but like my grandma says... he’s just a bit too soft for me!”
