Speaking to journalists outside her Brisbane hotel, the Footballers' Wives star said: "If he's fallen in love with someone else then there's not a lot I can do. I'll just have to get myself out dating again."

Matravers, 32, flew to Australia yesterday to keep an eye on her boyfriend of two years. Asked if she thought he would reveal his love for Matthews, she shrugged and sighed, "Who knows?"

The flirty twosome finally sealed the deal as they shared a tender kiss in the jungle two nights ago.

As Marc's girlfriend, landed in Australia, Cerys and Marc sat close together, exchanging knowing glances and talking in hushed tones before twice kissing.

Marc and Cerys continued their whispered conversation, sharing an emotional hug, at which point Cerys' appeared to get teary-eyed.

The ex-EastEnder then kissed her on the cheek again before he said: "Right see you in the morning. Goodnight", and then headed to his hammock.

"I'm aware of everything. I hear they've been sharing quite a lot together. She's been serenading him and I hear he sang, There May Be Trouble Ahead – there might well be.

"My life is on hold right now. We live together and we have a proper life together, so of course I'm worried.

"I made a big joke out of it at the beginning of the week but now this has gone on long enough. It's very upsetting. "Before Marc entered the jungle, he told the press: 'I'm not looking for love. I'm loved-up with my girlfriend Sarah.' I have been reading that quote over and over again in the press.

When asked if she thought her boyfriend had fallen in love with Cerys, Sarah said: "Who knows if he has really fallen in love?"

And the actress said she is dying for a chance to confront the pair. "It would be fantastic if I could go in the jungle right now. I'd go straight up to them and go: 'Surprise!' I would love to see their faces. It would be sweet revenge."

Although Marc declared himself "loved-up with my girlfriend" before he entered the jungle, the pair have had a rocky relationship.

According to The Sun, in March 2006 Marc ended up in court charged with assaulting Sarah, but the case was later dropped. Earlier, Marc admitted his flirtation with Cerys has entered dangerous territory.
