The singer fought to hold back tears on Oprah when discussing her ex, and comments that he made about their sex life

Jessica Simpson fought to hold back tears on Oprah Winfrey's show when questioned about her ex John Mayer.

Referring to comments that John previously made about their sex life in an interview, a visibly upset Jessica said: ‘I don't want people to know how I am in bed.'

John and Jessica dated on-and-off for about a year back in 2006, shortly after her ‘Newlyweds' marriage to Nick Lachey ended.

Following the split, John gave an interview to Playboy magazine, in which he referred to Jessica as ‘sexual napalm,' and likened their relationship to a drug dependency.

Drugs aren't good for you if you do lots of them,' he said. ‘Yeah that girl is like crack cocaine to me.'

Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm,' he continued.

‘Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f***ing snort you?''

Charming.

Mayer has since apologised for making the comments, admitting that he behaved like ‘an a-hole.'

But clearly, it's too little too late for Jessica, who says in the Oprah interview that she's still just ‘a little bit angry.'

The complete interview airs in the US on 15 March.
