Iwan Thomas has been sending saucy texts to Maria Fowler.
The Olympic sprinter, who was partnered with Ola Jordan on 'Strictly Come Dancing' last night (05.09.15), has reportedly been showering the former 'The Only Way is Essex' beauty with raunchy messages for months, despite the fact he has a girlfriend.
A source said: "Iwan started following Maria on Twitter a year ago, but from June to about two weeks ago he spoke to her almost every day.
"He was a complete flirt. The conversations would begin flirty, then get more sexual, then he would panic, and say he needed to be careful because of his girlfriend.
"But he always said that Maria would be first in line with him if they ever split up.
"He said she was a knockout, and that he'd be there now, with her, in a flash if he was single.
"He'd say that if they were together, no-one would be getting any sleep, and he'd add all of these cheeky emoticons showing hands and bananas.
"Any girlfriend who knew about them or found them would have been livid."
In a selection of the suggestive texts published by The Sun newspaper, he called her his "monkey queen" but insisted he needed to "behave" because of his relationship with his girlfriend, who he reconciled with earlier this year after a short split.
One message sent last month read: "I'm just being a good honest guy, but if I was single would be there now!!! Sweet naughty dreams monkey queen. (sic)"
Another read: "I gotta behave. If my life changed you will be the first to know. I can't help that I'm fit, lol joke. (sic)"

Kirk Norcross has got engaged.
The former 'TOWIE' star has confirmed he is to marry pregnant girlfriend Holli Willis, with whom he is expecting his first child.
Kirk told OK! Online: "I'm gonna be a dad! I got engaged as well, I just didn't make it a big thing.
"A lot of people now think I'm just doing it for stories so I thought, 'You know what, I'll just keep it to myself.' "
Kirk, who is expecting a baby girl with Holli, said the couple will put their wedding holds on plan until the tot is born so she can be present at the nuptials.
He added: "I want my daughter to be at the wedding so we're gonna leave it."
The 'Ex on the Beach' star recently rekindled his romance with Holli - who has four-year-old daughter Scarlett from a previous relationship - after they first dated seven years ago.
He previously said: "We used to go out seven years ago. We literally just bumped into each other, she was sat at the table next to me! We've been inseparable from that moment on.
"It feels like fate - we're very much in love and I'm off the market for the rest of my life."

Ola Jordan had a "massive meltdown" when she found out she wouldn't be partnering Peter Andre on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 32-year-old beauty has reportedly been left fuming after the BBC One show's bosses snubbed her first choice in favour of Olympic athlete Iwan Thomas.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Ola had a massive meltdown. She was ranting and raving as she genuinely thought they'd win.
"To make it worse, Iwan is based miles away and she doesn't even like him."
The news isn't likely to please the 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker either as he previously admitted he had joked to Ola about only doing 'Strictly' if she was his partner.
He said: "I've met her many times in the past and we always joked for years, it's been going on for years, where I said 'I'll only ever do Strictly if you're my partner.'
"Because she kept saying, 'When are you gonna come on the show, when are you gonna do it?'"
Despite not getting her first choice of partner, Ola will no doubt be gunning to win the show this year after a knee injury nearly left her unable to walk.
She said: "I didn't understand the injury at the time and how bad it was. I didn't know whether I'd be able to walk again, be able to run, let alone dance."

Simon Cowell found it "difficult" watching himself tear up on television.
The 'X Factor' judge was left with tears in his eyes when Josh Daniel's performance of 'Jealous' reminded him of his mother Julie, who had passed away only days before the audition.
He explained: "When I watched it on the show, it was very difficult to watch back, but that's just what happens when you make one of these shows. Of course, it brought it all back.
"It is a very difficult to know what to do. The contestant didn't know the situation. He wasn't doing it to make me upset. He sang the song for his own reasons. It was important that he did a good audition. But it was very raw and it did take me back to the moment, but I think in quite a healthy way. Being upset is a human thing."
However, the 55-year-old music mogul has insisted he didn't want the audition axed from the show but let his fellow producers have the final decision.
He added to The Sun newspaper: "They were very cautious about showing the footage to me in the first place for obvious reasons. But then you've got to take your personal hat off and put on your producer's hat, because what happened happened and it's not fair on the contestant not to show it.
"You can't censor stuff like that. In the end, I kind of just said to them, 'I'm OK with it. But I don't want to approve anything, I'll let you make your decision as to what is acceptable and what isn't.'"

Jessica Raine has married Tom Goodman-Hill.
The 'Call The Midwife' beauty tied the knot with the 'Mr Selfridge' star at a glitzy bash in London earlier this week.
Guests included David Walliams, Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington, the Daily Mirror newspaper reports.
The news of their nuptials comes only two weeks after it was confirmed the pair were engaged after five years together.
A friend of Jessica said at the time: "We are so happy for them. Of course we've all joked that when they have children she can deliver her own."
Meanwhile, Tom won't have to worry about his wife looking sexy on screen as she recently admitted she doesn't "get" what it means to seductive.
She explained: "Just running through all the scripts I've read recently, I don't like when a character is meant to be sexy, because I don't really know what that means.
"'She is sexy. Everybody wants to be this girl' - what is that? You're attractive or sexy as a by-product of something else. You can be manipulative and it's quite sexy or you can love life and that's what's sexy, but sexy as a thing; I don't really get that."
Jessica and Tom got the go ahead to marry after his divorce from his ex-wife Kerry Bradley came through.

Stacey Solomon would love to have been mentored by Rita Ora on 'The X Factor'.
The 25-year-old singer - who came third on the sixth series of the ITV talent competition - has admitted it would have been amazing being looked after by the "best female artist in the UK".
Of the show's new judges - Nick Grimshaw and Rita - she exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think it's great you've got a leader in radio and then what I think is the best female artist in the UK at the moment. She's an amazing singer and songwriter and I just think - what an amazing line up.
"Yes! If I could choose any of them [to mentor me], it'd be Rita - I love her."
However, the 'I Walk The Line' singer has insisted she wouldn't have chosen anyone else other than Danni Minogue to mentor her when she was on the show.
She added: "Danni was the best mentor ever. She was literally by our side the whole time, always making sure we were OK, always checking in with us. She came to see me on my birthday and made me a cake. The best mentor ever."
And Stacey is looking forward to catching fellow 'X Factor' contestant Olly Murs presenting the show alongside Caroline Flack.
She shared: "I think he's amazing at everything he puts his mind to. He truly deserves everything that has happened. I'd love to present. That'd be amazing."

Daniel Baldwin has been evicted from 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 54-year-old actor became the first housemate to be booted off this year's reality TV series tonight (04.09.15) after receiving the fewest number of votes from the public.
Speaking to host Emma Willis in his post-eviction interview, Daniel, who was nominated alongside Farrah Abraham, Jenna Jameson, Chris Ellison, Janice Dickinson, and couple Chloe Jasmine Whichello and Stevi Ritchie, insisted he had no regrets, as he "stayed true" to himself.
He also admitted that he wasn't shocked by the result, as he previously asked himself: "Have you done enough to make the public say 'hey, I want him to stay?' "
Asked about his thoughts on outspoken housemate Janice Dickinson, he added: "It's the Janice show. There's the sun with a J on it and all the stars and planets are revolving around it. She's a pain in the a**. I knew what to expect. She never wins because she's such a nightmare."
The late Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell also left the house earlier tonight after spending four days inside teaching the US contestants how to be good servants to their British rivals.
Upon leaving the show, he said: "It is good to be back, but sad as well."

Stacey Solomon would "never say never" to 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The former 'X Factor' contestant has admitted she wouldn't mind starring on the BBC One dancing show but insists she can't dance.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I never say never to anything because I love a good challenge but I am a terrible dancer and I don't think I'd be very good. I'd love to dance and I love all the outfits. I love looking at people dancing but I'm so rubbish, I don't know I'd be able to do it ... I definitely won't be putting bets on myself. If I could dance and I was trying to be modest, I'd be like, 'I'm OK', but I genuinely cannot dance.
"I used to really want to be a singer, dancer and everything else so I entered these dancing competitions and my sister would win every single one and my dad had to buy me a trophy. I was so terrible that I never won anything and I used to get really upset. Even practicing every night for a year, I'd still get it wrong."
However, the 25-year-old television personality is looking forward to watching this year's show.
She added: "I'm excited about Peter Andre. I think he's really good though; I bet he can dance already. In all his videos, he's dancing and when you're watching him on television shows, he does a few moves. He's really good. And he looks good; he's beautiful, tanned.
"Jamelia's really good. She's going to be so good. Ainsley Harriot's in it; I can't wait to see him."

Gemma Oaten thinks 'EastEnders' needs a "northern lass".
The 31-year-old actress recently quit her job playing Rachel Breckle in 'Emmerdale' and has now confessed she wouldn't turn down the opportunity to star in another soap and believes the east London-based drama could do with some more northern characters.
Asked what other soap she'd most like to star in, Gemma exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'd have to say 'Corrie' ['Coronation Street'] because obviously it's northern and close to home and I know a lot of the cast but, equally, every time I see Dominic [Treadwell-Collins], the producer of 'EastEnders', I'm like, 'You need a northern lass, you know that don't you?' He's going, 'Yes Gemma, I know, you keep telling me!' "
And although Gemma was excited by the idea of playing a long-lost member of the Slater family, she claimed she didn't think fans of the BBC One soap would appreciate her Yorkshire accent.
She added: I could be [a Slater]. I need to bring it [the accent] to the masses. They need a northern voice. Although not everyone likes my Hull accent so you never know."
Meanwhile, Gemma is currently preparing to strut her stuff on the catwalk at London Fashion Week for couture label Kolchagov Barba on September 18.
