'The Only Way Is Essex' star Sam Faiers says she and Mark Wright will ''always have a soft spot'' for each other, even though he is now engaged to Lauren Goodger.

'The Only Way Is Essex' star Sam Faiers says she and Mark Wright will "always have a soft spot" for each other.

Although the club promoter recently got engaged to his on-off girlfriend Lauren Goodger, Sam - who dated Mark during one of his breaks from Lauren - thinks there will always be something between them although she is keen to move on.

She said: "There's always going to be a soft spot there and I think he'll have one for me as well, but life goes on, doesn't it? But, as soon as I find The One, I won't dwell on Mark."

While Sam was not surprised by the couple's engagement she believes Lauren was wrong to accept Mark's proposal as there is no "trust" in their relationship.

She explained: "I wasn't gobsmacked, but I was a bit like, 'Woah!' If it was me, I'd hate the feeling that I had to get engaged just so that I could trust someone. Putting a ring on someone's finger doesn't mean that you're going to be able to trust them and Mark's only doing it so that she trusts him. If it had been me, I'd have said no. You want to feel that trust before you get engaged."
