Jessica Alves reveals she is a sapio sexual as she explains what she is REALLY looking for in her dream man

Jessica Alves is on the hunt for love and has revealed she is a sapio sexual. 

The former Celebrity Big Brother star, 40, confessed she is ready to settle down and find the one now that she finally feels happy within herself after her many surgeries. 

Appearing on This Morning on Thursday, the star told hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley her non-negotiables in a man and made the surprising announcement that she identifies as a sapio sexual. 

As Ben asked her what her dream partner would be like, Jessica explained: 'Erm fairly intelligent, hardworking, adventurous, fun. Not funny, fun to be around. 

'I am a little bit sapio sexual,' Ben and Cat then interrupted the star as they appeared confused and unfamiliar with the term. 

Jessica then explained: 'So basically I am attracted to intelligent minds.'

According to WebMD: 'Sapiosexuality means that a person is sexually attracted to highly intelligent people, so much so that they consider it to be the most important trait in a partner.'

Jessica looked sensational for the appearance as she showed off her surgically enhanced assets in a plunging turquoise power suit. 

She has spent £1million on over 100 operations over 21 years but said she is finally done with surgery and is happy with herself now. 

Speaking about her transition, she said: 'In the past I have felt like a dog trying to bite its own tail to the point where I reached a point where I thought I don't need anything else. 

'I am at the end of my surgeries. I have had everything under the sun there is nothing else for me to do. 

'I am 40 now and I just want to live my life and be inspirational and help others to learn from my experiences'.

However there is one last thing she is hoping to have done, as she revealed she would like one more surgery on her vocal cords. 

Jessica explained: 'I had a vocal cord surgery four years ago, and I would like to get another one but it is a functional surgery not beauty.' 

She added: 'I don't really like my voice very much. I always turn down radio appearances as I hate hearing myself.'

Back in March the star admitted she had turned to dating apps such as Bumble and Tinder to find a 'nice, honest, hardworking man,' after being left 'heartbroken' by younger boyfriends in the past.

Jessica added that due to her recent heartbreak she's been 'very protective' of herself, and she's keeping money aside should she get to walk down the aisle in the future.

Speaking about her quest to find love, Jessica told MailOnline: 'I am 40 years old and I'm still single. I've dated all sorts but not yet found my Prince Charming. 

'Although I am 40 I have a very young soul and I always tended to date younger man for that reason, who would always break my heart.

'Now I've started using Bumble and Tinder. Men on Bumble tend to be more serous and gentlemeny like inviting me for dates and be more courteous while the men on tinder are just looking for sex which isn't only what I'm after.

'Most of the time the users assume that my profile is fake and my account gets taken down due to reports and I have to email tinder or Bumble to explain that it is me, Jessica Alves indeed and that is a real account.

'Being single at 40 scares me and I still dream about getting married and to have kids but that dream seems to be far to happen as I'm still single looking for Mr Right.

'I love myself and I value myself very much also I'm very protective of myself too as I don't want to get hurt.

'I have over £6 million pounds saved aside for my weeding and I shall continue keep money aside for that dream of mine to happen. I want a princess wedding.'

Jessica continued: 'I have had lots of gold diggers already and very rich man. I just want a nice honest hardworking man.'
