The 43-year-old reality TV star - whose real name is Colin Newell - has struck up a relationship with internet sensation Bryony Anne Harris, 21, after he wooed her with a Nando’s.
Speaking to The Sun Online, he said: “The age difference isn’t a problem - love conquers all.
"I’m young at heart! I have loads of energy and enthusiasm, nobody thinks I’m 43. Age is just a number, boom!”
The pair initially bonded on Twitter when Bryony - who once appeared on World’s Strictest Parents - sent him a message before he went on Celebrity Big Brother.
He explained: “We’d been tweeting before I went into the house, then she saw me on the show and loved my personality so we arranged a date.

"I took her for a cheeky Nando’s, boom! Then we went for a walk on Brighton pier and I was the perfect gentleman.”
However, Heavy - who is known for his catchphrase “boom” - wasn’t happy with their first date and arranged for them to jet out to Marbella, Spain, for a sun-soaked break.
He said: “We really liked each other’s company so I suggested we went for a short break and we flew to Marbella and now we’re boyfriend and girlfriend.”
And, although they’ve only been together a matter of weeks, the Storage Hunters star is adamant Bryony is “the one”.
He said: “I knew straight away, boom. I don’t mess around. It’s meant to be.”

When asked by a fan whether he is going to take her to their Emirates Stadium, he tweeted: “Of course!!”
He also posted several messages about Bryony, including: “Bryony is a top girl!
"She loves to BOOM!”
