His other half fled to Germany after he reportedly flew into a ‘jealous rage’ as she flirted with a mystery man.
And in the midst of the fallout, Chris Hughes, 22, has revealed that former glamour model Katie Price, 39, has been sending him flirtatious text messages.

Despite them both having partners, the mother-of-five has been actively getting in contact with him without a reply from the ITVBe star.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Chris – who is set to appear in his own reality series alongside pal Kem Cetinay – admitted that he showed his love Olivia, 26, all the messages he has received from the TV presenter.
Chris shared: ‘[Katie] has been sending me messages, but I’ve not been replying. I’ve shown them all to Olivia, so she’s cool with it.’
Although taking the texts with a pinch of salt at first, the Cheltenham native admitted that Katie’s – who is divorcing her third husband Kieran Hayler after she claimed he had an affair with their nanny – messages aren’t just banter.

‘At first I thought [Katie] being flirty was a bit of banter, but the content of the messages makes me think she isn’t joking!’ he said. ‘It’s very weird to think that three months ago no one knew who I was and now I have Katie Price texting me.’
Aside from the flirty messages, Chris revealed that Olivia is eager for him to propose after their fellow Love Island alum Dom Lever and Jess Shears got engaged.
He added: ‘Liv really wants me to propose. She asks me all the time when I’m going to do it. I’d really like to get engaged but it feels a bit too soon. I want it to be a surprise and it’ll be well romantic.’

His comments come after Katie had made her affections for Chris known on Loose Women last month, when she brazenly told him: ‘If I wasn’t married you would be my type on paper, 100 percent to a tee!’
Unable to resist flirting some more, Katie added: ‘He thought I was 31, but I’m 39… and I’m a MILF!’
Not stopping there, Chris then revealed to Closer that the mother-of-five had reached out to him on Twitter, in a string of ‘full on’ messages.
He confessed to the magazine: ‘She’s a little bit full on! She’s funny, but interesting. She tried to message me on Twitter a little bit, but I just didn’t reply.’

Katie had admitted on Loose Women she could not go for Chris as she was married, but appeared to admire him from afar at the football match – following confirmation of her divorce from Kieran Hayler.
The TV personality revealed in August she was splitting from the former stripper, 30, after discovering he embarked on a lengthy affair with the family nanny Nikki Brown.
However Nikki, 40, later came forward to deny the accusations, and claim Katie simply wanted to place blame on someone else for the split.
Kieran has since spoken to The Sun about his troubles, confessing he was a sex addict who needed professional help.

The father-of-two, who married Katie in 2013, admitted: ‘This wasn’t a big love affair… I’m a sex addict and needed a thrill.
‘I didn’t fancy Nikki. If our nanny had been 80 I’d probably have tried to manipulate her into having sex too.’
The father-of-two admitted to bedding the nanny five times throughout their six month affair, which began in August last year and ended in February.
Meanwhile, Chris’ comments come after his girlfriend Olivia broke her silence for the first time since she fled to Germany following their explosive row, but did not confirm whether or not the pair have split
