Dan Edgar and Amber Turner split for good

\'The Only Way Is Essex\'s Dan Edgar says he and Amber Turner have split for good.

Dan told The Sun Online: "We started speaking again and decided to go out and have a chat to see what both of our views are, but we came to the decision it was best left."

He said: "We aren\'t together anymore. We got to Christmas and it wasn\'t working out, so I had to walk away from it and I think that\'s for the best for both of us.

"I just wasn\'t happy at the end and I thought it was the right thing to do.
