"We have not crossed paths in five years, maybe longer, like, [we] literally haven't seen each other," Scott told Closer and other press.
He continued: "There might have been the odd message about three years [ago], but literally, haven't seen her. It didn't end in the best way possible. I don't know how I would be if I saw her. I don't know how she would be if she saw me. That's the honest truth.
"I don't have any bad energy towards her, but it didn't end well. It's like a weird part of your life that's kind of been closed off and you haven't ever revisited it, so it would be interesting and a special moment, I'm sure."
