Marnie Simpson brushes off Ricky Rayment smooch at NTAs... as she reveals she's no longer with her boyfriend

Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson has spoken out after she was spotted smooching fellow reality TV star Ricky Rayment on Wednesday night.

The pair were caught on camera sharing a goodnight kiss as she left the after-party for the National Television Awards at DSTRKT nightclub in London.

Now the 22-year-old has spoken out to make light of the tryst - and reveals she's no longer with boyfriend Dan Sloane.

She said: 'Ricky Rayment and I kissed goodbye leaving a party in London. I'm single and kissed a boy goodbye. Big deal!'

Marnie had been dating 25-year-old builder Dan for several months and was planning to introduce the Geordie hunk to fans on the next series of her hit MTV show, which was up for a gong at the prizegiving.

However, a source adds to MailOnline: 'They are not together at the moment, but they have always had a very on/off relationship.'

Just last week she re-uploaded a sweet picture of the pair on Instagram, alongside the caption: 'Throwback with my boyfriend Dan.'
