Jessica Wright feels "disrespected" by Ricky Rayment.
The ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star is reportedly furious with her ex-boyfriend and cast mate after he began publicly dating ‘Geordie Shore’ star Marnie Simpson following their split.
Jessica, 29 – who dated Ricky, 24, for two years until he dumped her for being "boring" – was left in tears after the pair were spotted getting close at the National Television Awards in January.
A source said: "Jess feels Ricky is being hugely disrespectful. Behind the scenes she has shed real tears. She is shocked he has been able to move on so quickly."
The brunette beauty is even said to have banned her friends from becoming pals with Marnie, 21.
However, Ricky is said to be smitten with the reality TV star after being seen on a string of dates with her last weekend.
The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Ricky thinks Marnie is down to earth and laid-back like him, a far cry from his relationship with Jess."
While some members of the ‘TOWIE’ stars are currently shooting the upcoming series in Tenerife, one cast member noticeably absent from filming is George Harrison, who joined the show last year.
The blonde beauty – who briefly dated co-star Tom Pearce – has been dropped from the programme after bosses decided she didn’t have enough "big storylines" set up to continue featuring her.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Every cast member sits down with producers before each new series to talk about their future but George was told bosses didn’t believe she had big enough storylines coming up."
It is also unknown whether show favourite James ‘Arg’ Argent will return following his suspension from the series last year.
