Kimberley Blackford, the mother of the Hollywood star's 9-year-old son George Thomas, said that she wanted to marry the 70-year-old, but he left her for the novelist Danielle Steel.
The 41-year-old former swimsuit model told the Sunday Mirror: "He's a great bachelor, that's what he's good at. I was head over heels in love with him but he's just not the marrying kind.
"He had a very healthy, vigorous sex drive. I know some men use Viagra but, trust me, George never ever needed that.
"When I found out I was pregnant, I knew he wouldn't want to commit - and sure enough our relationship slowly crumbled.
"It was only when I was watching George's appearance on a morning TV show that I found out he was dating Danielle Steel. I felt sad, depressed and lonely."
However, the bit-part actress said that the couple have now put their differences behind them.
"As GT started to get older, George would visit us more and we became friends again.
"We both love him dearly and he's a great father. We're thrilled he's in the Australian jungle and are rooting for him.
"He sneaked in a phone call to us after he arrived. He told us he wasn't concerned about the creepy crawlies and snakes but we can't help worrying - we want him back in one piece.
"But as long as it's hot out there he'll be OK. He's the tan man - he'll just sunbathe all day."
She added: "He's addicted to tanning. Once or twice I'd notice he'd even leave an orange stain on the bedsheets.
"He has this big silver reflector screen like a sheet of tinfoil for his face. He holds it to get the sun to bounce off it and tan his face.
"He would lie out and bake on the private terrace of his 20th floor apartment practically every minute he could, in just a tiny thong."
Blackford also revealed that Hamilton enjoys life's luxuries.
"He loves silk bathrobes - he easily has 100 of them. Everything is ironed and pressed to perfection."
