"It is early days and I'm not going to say who it is. We are just taking our time and getting to know each other. I think at this stage we are just finding out about each other and becoming best friends which is really nice.”
He sweetly added: “She makes me very happy. She's a total vibe. I'm not sure I should be saying all this as I've not spoken about her before but yes I'm into her. She may not know it but yes I am really into her."
In May Faye opened up about why she and Teddy split, explaining they were in different places.
She said: “It's been very obvious, especially over the last few months, we just wanted different things. We were just in different places.
Faye went on to MailOnline: “And you know, relationships... they're hard, you know, they're hard things to maintain. People go through breakups every single day. People go through heartbreak every single day.”
She also said she couldn’t ‘disclose’ what happened between them, adding: “It's just part of life and it's a really difficult situation to go through. I'm not ready. I don't know if I will ever be ready to disclose what fully happened between us because that is between me and Teddy.
“But we just wanted really different things and, yeah, I think that's become... you know, I wanted to continue doing my work with charity and my Guide Dogs work. And it's just one of those things, unfortunately, and it is sad. It will always be sad and he'll always hold a very special place in my heart.”
The former reality star then added: “But we've just got to keep moving and it's difficult because everybody wants to know, but at the same time we've got to respect our own privacy and also respect each other’s.”
