Dan Osborne’s ex-girlfriend finds him "scary".
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ hunk was apparently caught on tape threatening Megan Tomlin – the mother of his 14-month-old son Teddy – if she got a new boyfriend, and the teacher’s best pal Kerrie admits her friend had been recording their conversations for some time because she was so terrified of the 23-year-old star.
Speaking about the audio, which was leaked earlier this month but recorded in November, Kerrie said: "Dan’s behaviour on the tape was the final straw for Megan.
"She’s always wanted to keep things amicable for the sake of their son, but it’s been difficult.
"With Dan’s behaviour – it’s scary.
"Megan has had to endure being labelled as this ‘jealous ex’ but she just wants to move on."
While Megan has been the subject of abuse from Dan – whose girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa gave birth to their daughter Ella last month – and is trying to stop his bid for joint custody of Teddy, Kerrie says her friend is doing her best to block everything out and focus on her little boy.
She added to heat magazine: "These past 18 months have been incredibly tough. But despite this, the only priority in Megan’s life is her son."
Meanwhile, Megan has insisted she isn’t responsible for the audio being leaked.
She said previously: "No, I didn’t leak the tape. I’m looking into how it’s got so much media attention. The police have it, obviously, and I have been accused of selling it. I didn’t."
The tape – which is said to have been made last year – reportedly features Dan telling Megan he’ll stab her if she sleeps with another man despite them having been broken up for a number of months at the time.
He then goes on to call her "dirty" and tells her to "go f**k" herself before appearing to deny his relationship with ‘EastEnders’ actress Jacqueline.
Dan has been suspended from ‘TOWIE’ while the incident is investigated.
