She explained that they split before she went to South Africa to film the show in September - but kept her ring on to keep the break-up under wraps.
The actress told : "I did wear my engagement ring when I was in the jungle.
"We’d only just broken up, and I didn’t want everyone to be asking, 'Where’s your ring?' I wanted to keep it private for the kids."
She added: "I just hope we can be good friends and co-parent. A lot of people say: 'Oh, stay, make things work for the children.'

The Sun revealed in October that Helen, who played Rosie Webster in Corrie, and Scott had called time on their relationship.
They did reunite in Dubai and spent time together with their children when he was on a break from training in April.
However, they weren't pictured together and Helen later insisted they had .
She said, after being seen with her ring on again: "Scott was there on a break from training, so we spent a day together with the kids. That was it.
"I didn't even think about wearing a ring on that finger. My ring is my ring, it's for my girls."
