Made In Chelsea star Francis Boulle has spoken about his previous romance with actress Emma Watson, saying that he broke it off due to her fame.

The 22-year-old reality TV star briefly dated the Harry Potter actress in 2008, but said that he didn't want to be known as the boyfriend of a famous person.

He told Heat magazine: “We had a bit of a thing a while back, but I have always been an ambitious person and I want to achieve my own notoriety for what I’ve done.

“That’s why I chose not to pursue it any longer, because I didn’t want to be the boyfriend of some child actress.”

Boulle also said that Watson was a very "interesting" person, and not like her public persona.

He said: “I actually really like Emma. She’s a really cool person. She’s a very different person to who she is in the media. That’s what I liked about her – she’s very interesting.”

When asked if they are in touch, he replied: “No, but we do share a lot of mutual friends and our paths cross from time to time.”
