Olivia Bentley shuts down 'same-sex' dating as she wants 'hubby and five kids'

Olivia Bentley has shut down any thoughts of a same-sex relationship saying that "isn't for me" and that she has a different path to take to everlasting love.

The 24-year-old Made In Chelsea star said she wanted to address rumours about her dating life, specifically that she has been dating a woman, as she said she prefers to be on her own - for the time being at least.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, the reality star said: "I met this girl while I was out with friends and she invited me for a drink.

"Everyone is so quick to say no [to this kind of a dalliance], so I thought I'd just see. I decided it wasn't for me and that I'm not that way inclined."

With thoughts that a same-sex relationship was not the route she wanted to take, Olivia said that she is happy being by herself at the moment.

The MIC star did reveal that she had big plans when she finally does meet Mr Right, and that he needs to be prepared for a busy family life.

Speaking about her current single status, Olivia said: "There's no one in my life and I'm so content."

Olivia continued: "I'm better when I'm single as I feel more emotionally in control. So many people jump from relationship to relationship without enjoying being single, but there's a lot of stuff I want to do before getting tied down.

"I definitely want marriage and children one day. I'd like loads of kids - five of them, like in my family. Trying to find a husband who wants that too will probably be a nightmare!"

Olivia has spent lockdown with her family at her childhood home in Oxfordshire with a menagerie of pets including peacocks and alpacas.

She said: "It feels very calm here and I come down as often as I can. I enjoy hanging out with my family - my brother and three sisters, my parents and their friends.

"I'd choose a dinner party with them over a nightclub any day.

"When I eventually settle down, this way of life is exactly what I aspire to.

"It's a madhouse, like Animal Farm. But it's great being together and I feel closer to my family than ever before.

"It's the first time we've all been here and not squabbled."
