James Stunt has today arrived at the High Court for the third day of his £5.5billion divorce hearing – just 24 hours after storming out while his ex-wife was giving evidence.
The 36-year-old was wearing a dark blue suit and black coat when he made his way into the building where he is fighting Petra Ecclestone over their huge fortune.
Ms Ecclestone, the Formula One heiress and her older sister Tamara, were united when they were photographed outside the court on Wednesday morning.
Yesterday, sources at the scene claimed Mr Stunt stormed from the court room shortly after arriving.

Mr Stunt divorced Ms Ecclestone, 29, following a bitter court battle in October but they have yet to agree a settlement over their joint fortune.
Bernie Ecclestone’s daughter took out a court injunction to force her ex to leave their £68million Grade II-listed mansion in Chelsea.
The pair, who have three children, married in a £12million ceremony in 2011.
Petra is being represented at the hearing by Baroness Fiona Shackleton who previously acted on behalf of Sir Paul McCartney during his divorce with Heather Mills.
This comes amid her billionaire ex-husband James reacting angrily to cynical claims that a £90million burglary at his home was a con.
He had previously claimed that he was the victim of Britain’s biggest ever burglary with £90million of cash and valuables said to have been stolen from his house in Belgravia, which he moved into after the pair split.

On Monday, Mr Stunt slammed critics who have accused the burglary of being a fake.
He said: ‘I’ve nothing to hide. I’m a victim with no upside to this embarrassment of having no insurance.
‘It’s disgusting how people are commenting that I’m a criminal. It’s not true or fair. I just want whoever did this arrested and my things back.’
He went on to say that his dead brother’s watch was among the items that were stolen and said he ‘wished he had insurance’ in a strong condemnation of the claims that the robbery was a con.
He told police that thieves had emptied the safe in the basement of his Georgian townhouse in Belgravia last month while he slept upstairs.
Cash, gold and diamond jewellery worth up to £90million was stolen in the raid, according to The Sun on Sunday.
The billionaire, who left his house flanked by several members of his security detail on Monday, said his property was not insured and updates on the investigation would come from the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad, which is leading the probe.
Asked what the latest update was on the investigation, he said: ‘You will have to talk to the Flying Squad. I have no insurance. I’m a victim.’
He then climbed into the back seat of his luxury custom Rolls Royce before being driven away from the Belgravia townhouse.

He said the couple’s ‘most important responsibility’ was now ‘being mother and father to our wonderful children’.
Speaking after the hearing, Mr Ecclestone told MailOnline: ‘I’m just glad it’s over. Petra is too. She has been very tolerant and has been concerned about James.’
The couple married in a £12million ceremony in 2011, tying the knot in an Italian castle.
In the divorce proceedings Ecclestone secured the couple’s Grade II-listed mansion in Chelsea, west London, believed to be worth up to £100million.

Tamara Ecclestone had shared an image on Instagram on the day of the hearing, telling her sister: ‘Hey little fighter, soon things will be brighter.’
