Yahoo News 9 reality stars who cheated on their partner off camera
She's not even on Love Island anymore, but everyone's still talking about what really happened between Jessica Shears and Mike Thalassitis after they were evicted from the villa. Did she cheat on Dom Lever and have sex? Or did the pair keep their distance from each other as they both insisted?
Judging by her reaction after realising she was on camera with her hand on his leg, we are a tad concerned that Jessica might not be telling the whole truth – sorry, Dom! But it wouldn't exactly be the first time a reality TV star has cheated on their significant other – so on the bright side, at least she should easily fit into this scene.
Here we take a look at TV stars who screwed over their partners away from the cameras. Welcome to the harsh reality of reality television...
1. Ferne McCann
Ferne said she "wanted to die" when her TOWIE boyfriend Charlie Sims cheated. Desperate not to give up on their five-year relationship, she decided to give things another chance but it was never quite the same. Then they broke up for good shortly afterwards, when Ferne confessed she cheated too with co-star Frank Major.
2. Millie Mackintosh
Millie was furious when she heard Hugo Taylor had allegedly cheated with her BFF Rosie Fortescue. So she publicly humiliated them both by exposing their affair at a Made in Chelsea party in front of their co-stars.
But it turned out Millie wasn't whiter than white either. She later confessed to cheating as well and attempted to justify not telling Hugo by saying: "I didn't think you'd find out." They're now back together.
3. James Argent
Arg has admitted to cheating on his on-off girlfriend Lydia Bright countless times over the years. But one of the most shocking things he ever did to the TOWIE beauty was have unprotected sex with her co-star Gemma Collins within hours of sleeping with Lydia on the same day. The truth didn't come out until months later, and poor Lydia was mortified.
4. Louise Thompson
Rumours were swirling for months that Louise had betrayed her boyfriend Alik Alfus after he moved back to New York. At first, she refused to comment on what she'd got up to away from the cameras, before finally coming clean to her pals on-screen.
"I feel like a dick," she confessed – and rightly so. Let's hope her new boyfriend Ryan Libbey has better luck.
5. Pete Wicks
Pete really did a number on poor Megan McKenna. Not only did he send VERY inappropriate private messages to an ex while they were together, but he also tried to cover his tracks by making her think she was being paranoid.
Eventually, he confessed everything and Megan was left in pieces.
6. Lucy Mecklenburgh
Everyone blames Mario Falcone for the breakdown of his relationship with Lucy, but actually she was the one who cheated first. And not just with anyone – she betrayed him with his TOWIE rival Mark Wright, then lied about it for months to Mario, his family and pretty much anyone else who would listen.
7. Spencer Matthews
Lucy Watson genuinely believed she was the woman that could change serial love rat Spenny and turn him into boyfriend material. But she was wrong.
He was wandering off with other women just three days into their relationship. Lucy shouldn't take it too personally though – he's also cheated on on Lauren Hutton, Louise Thompson and Stephanie Pratt. To name a few.
8. Gaz Beadle
In between seasons of Geordie Shore, Gaz and Charlotte were trying to make a go of their relationship. Then he jetted off to film Ex on the Beach and secretly cheated with her rival Jemma Lucy. At the time, Charlotte was in hospital after suffering an ectopic pregnancy. When she eventually found out, she was so devastated that she quit Geordie Shore.
9. Zahida Allen
Zahida relentlessly pursued Sean Pratt when they filmed MTV's Ex on the Beach together until he finally agreed to be her boyfriend. Then, when she started working on Geordie Shore a few months later, she kissed Scotty T away from the cameras but was outed by her co-stars. Despite the slip-up, Sean has stood by his girlfriend and they're very much still an item.
10. Jake Hall
Jake was never the best-behaved guy during his relationship with Chloe Lewis. But after trying to make a go of things for the hundredth time, she caught wind that he had cheated again, this time with her co-star Megan McKenna (before she even joined TOWIE).
Megan has always denied the rumours but Jake allegedly confessed all to Chloe, resulting in their split.
11. Kyle Christie
Last year, Holly Hagan had a meltdown in the streets of Magaluf after wrapping filming for Geordie Shore, screaming that someone had "slept with the love of my life". It later turned out that that someone was her pal Chloe Ferry.
Although Chloe denied having anything to do with Kyle, Gaz Beadle seemed to think differently. Holly has since quit the show and ended her relationship with Kyle.
