Jesy Nelson was dumped by TOWIE's Chris Clark by text - via his girlfriend's phone

It’s not as awful as Zayn Malik texting Perrie Edwards to say that their engagement was over, but TOWIE’s Chris Clark has admitted that he used his girlfriend’s phone to dump Perrie’s Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson.

The reality TV hunk briefly dated the Little Mix singer for three months earlier this year after they met at the Brit Awards, and has now revealed he delivered the news that he was back with his former girlfriend Amber Dowding in a pretty nasty way.

He told The Sun: ‘I used Amber’s (phone) to do it. I was never going to escape it. I had to just deal with it.

‘She was on the other side of the world. I am happier now than I ever have been.’

Jesy, 26, was on tour in America with Little Mix for most of their relationship and Chris flew out to spend some time with her.

Despite this, Amber – who rekindled her romance with Chris just days after he split with Jesy – insisted that Chris did the right thing.

She said: ‘It wasn’t my relationship but all I can say on Chris’s behalf is that it wasn’t done in a negative way.

‘He wasn’t 100 per cent in the relationship and he had to end it when he ended it and that was that. I don’t want him to ever receive a backlash from it.

‘In life you have to think about yourself and be selfish sometimes.’

Jesy called off her engagement to Rixton’s Jake Roche last year and was reportedly heartbroken when Chris dumped her but friends said their lives were simply too different.

A source said when the pair broke up: ‘Jesy’s life is a world away from his. She’s a superstar, travelling the world and living in the spotlight. He got a taste of her lifestyle and it couldn’t work – it’s just not him. There’s no bad blood it just wasn’t working out between them.’

We have every faith that she’s over it.
