FORMER Towie star Nicole Bass has revealed that she 'constantly gets messages' about her mystery boyfriend.
The ITVBe star gave birth to her second daughter last year on 22 November with her partner.
Nicole, 32, is best known for her appearances on various reality shows having joined the cast of the hit Essex-based series in 2015.
She later departed The Only Way Is Essex a year later before returning four years later for a stint on the reality programme.
The star has also appeared on Ex On The Beach in 2017 as was a contestant on the MTV series, The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2.

However, since her public breakups with fellow co-stars Lewis Bloor and Sam Mucklow, she has chosen to keep her partner private.
Now, she's opened up on the reasoning behind her decision as she told OK!: "He’s a very private person, so that’s part of the reason why I don’t show him publicly.
"He doesn’t really have social media and isn’t in the limelight, so I’ve got to respect that.
"I’ve been a lot quieter myself in recent years and don’t post too many pictures of the kids.
"I don’t like people commenting on my private life, especially relationships."
She added: "I get messages constantly asking who I’ve had a baby with and I can understand that. But it’s my life and I’ve got my guard up."
The reality star previously surprised her fans with her second pregnancy announcement, just five months after she gave birth to her first child Bella Rose.
Although having two kids under two-years-old is a stressful thought for any new mum, Nicole insists she is handling the challenge just fine.
"I’m doing great!", she exclaimed. "I’m still trying to figure out a routine but we’ll get there."
The star added: "In fact, I actually prefer having two under two instead of being pregnant and having a little one to run after. I found that harder."

Although she likes to keep her personal life under wraps, she opened up about the disagreements she does have with her partner.
The TV personality admitted the pair initially disagreed on the name of their newborn child.
She admitted: "We were undecided on a name at first, my partner actually liked the name Beau.
"I wasn’t so keen – I thought it would suit a boy better – and as soon as I heard the name Millie, I knew it was the one.
"We went back and forward a little but I got my way [laughs]. She also has my name as a middle name."
