Exclusive Interview with Orlando Bloom!
Our reporter Susie Macintosh-Jones spoke exclusively in a Q&A session yesterday with TV presenter Orlando Bloom, 31. Among subjects covered are his public break-up with singer Elijah Wood, 27, and his new relationship with co-host Dom Monaghan, 32.
OB: Y'know, Elijah and I just reached a point where we couldn't continue. I played my part in the relationship, but he didn't want to play his. It was a shame...
SM-J: Are the rumours of a six-month affair with Dom Monaghan true?
OB: Erm....well, yes, they are. I wanted to give Elijah more of a chance, so I wanted to stay with him - but at the same time, I needed more from the relationship. That was where Dom came in. We were spending so much time together anyway, filming, and as friends, that it came naturally.
SM-J: Have you been speaking to Elijah? How's he taking this?
OB: He's not taking it too well, to be honest. Elijah is a little clingy - he was too dependant on me, I always thought. He's not used to standing on his own two feet...
SM-J: There has been talk that the sex between you two wasn't good.
OB: That's true, actually. With every other partner I've ever had, the sex has always been amazing. Elijah, I guess, just was never very good at it.

Elijah scrunched the paper up. "F**king Orlando Bloom, who does he think he is? He can't go saying all that stuff to a newspaper, can he?" That lump in his throat was there to stay, he thought regretfully.
His and Viggo's agent and manager, Helen Worthing, sighed. "Well....technically, yes. He hasn't committed libel or slander or anything. I'm sorry, Lijah."
Viggo put his arm round Elijah's thin back. "He's a b*****d. You can do better than him anyway."
Elijah sniffed sadly. "I did love him, Viggo."
"I know you did," Viggo said softly. Helen sat down on Elijah's other side.
"Honey," she said tentatively, "there have been loads of tabloids looking to speak to you. Would you like to do any of them, or would you like to keep quiet? It's up to you, whatever you feel like."
"I don't want to talk to them," Elijah said, quietly but firmly. "What would I say? Yes, I'm crap at sex?"
Viggo sighed, squeezed his shoulder lightly.
"I'm not clingy," Elijah said, into the silence. "I don't cling, do I?"
