JJ Slater’s Married At First Sight UK co-star claims his relationship with Katie Price is a ‘showmance’ because he is ‘desperate to stay relevant’ despite being ‘talentless’.
Nathanial Valentino has accused his former love rival of only pursuing a romance with the mother of five, 45, to maintain his public profile and says that while he understands Katie needs to reinvent herself, JJ, 31, is not in the running same position.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Nathanial, 36, claimed JJ had no intention of staying in a relationship with Ella Morgan and only had an affair with the transgender bride because of the controversial storyline.
And now Nathanial has branded JJ a ‘beg’, saying the reality star is ‘looking for fame without being talented’ after his relationship with Katie has kept him in the spotlight.
He said, “Honestly, I have never met such a beggar in my entire life. He is looking for fame without having any talent.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Nathanial claimed JJ had no intention of continuing a relationship with Ella Morgan and was only having an affair with the transgender bride for airtime.
‘Knowing what I know from people close to him in the experiment, he wanted to stay on the show and he wanted the storyline but he wouldn’t be with Ella outside the show… I know a lot about the TOWIE fate and their thoughts on his relationship with katie and opinions about him…he’s a beggar.
‘I’ve met Katie a few times and everyone has to stay relevant, right… I understand it from her perspective because her life is a business, but his life isn’t… I hope they’re happy together!’
Nathanial married Ella after they met for the first time at the altar during the E4 show, but the couple’s romance was short-lived.
Ella betrayed Nathanial by messaging JJ behind his back, causing him to leave the experiment after he lashed out at being mistreated.
After producers gave Ella and JJ the chance to rejoin the show’s experiment as a couple, they decided not to continue dating in the outside world during their final vows.
And now Nathanial has claimed that JJ is exhibiting the same pattern of behavior with Katie as he did when he dated Ella, and predicts his plan is to stay in the public eye for as long as possible.
In recent weeks, the former glamor model has made numerous red carpet appearances with JJ, including at the press evening of theater show Priscilla The Party! Monday in London.
They were also photographed together at MTV’s Ex on the Beach launch party, held last week in celebration of the new season, wearing matching leather outfits.

Katie, who was declared bankrupt for the second time this month, spoke on the Ny Breaking’s Straight To The Comments podcast about not being mentally strong enough to appear in court due to her current financial situation.
She said: ‘I can’t mentally cope with going to court, I can’t do it. When you are sick and depressed, everything piles up.
“If you can’t deal with something or you haven’t paid that bill or this bill, communicate, don’t ignore it because if you ignore it, it will get worse.”
The former Loose Woman explained the severity of her mental state and how she was previously affected by her money problems.
She continued, “It upsets me because they don’t know how hard I tried mentally to get out of the rut I was in, a rut I hung myself in and thought I had died.”
