Megan and Pete's relationship first hit the rocks when Danielle Armstrong dropped a bombshell on the former Ex On The Beach star, in which she revealed the tattooed hunk's extra-curricular activities. 

Despite previously harking about Pete's ability to calm down her famously fiery temperament, the brunette beauty showed her boyfriend the entirety of her wrath as she screamed at him on the beach. 

In shock at the discovery, the inked-up hunk made his way back to Essex where he was comforted by his best pal James Lock after he broke down over his behaviour and expressed huge regret over his actions.

Hurt and humiliated, Megan returned to her native county where she was comforted by her sister Millie before Pete arrived at her flat in an attempt at reconciliation.

While the alleged philanderer appeared to be seeking forgiveness, Megan was only prepared to launch a furious tirade at her boyfriend who she screamed at during a sit down on her sofa.   

Prior to her latest blazing row, when Megan discovered the news of the sexts she was seen shaking her Rolex birthday gift in the TV hunk's face, saying it had 'guilt written all over it'.

'I don’t even want to f***ing hear your voice,' the television favourite shouted in her boyfriend's face. Pete made minimal attempts to explain himself as the raging brunette confronted him by the side of the pool.

'You've been telling this girl you want to be single - go and be f**king single then,' she said to him, after discovering that he had been in touch with ex-girlfriend Jacqui Ryland, 26.

The show was back on ITVBe on Sunday night as the reality TV favourites returned to screens with fresh drama in The Only Way Is Marbs. Sunday night's debut showed Megan and Pete romantically celebrating her birthday, before the messages came to light.

The episode saw Pete declare his love for his girlfriend before presenting her with the gold Rolex watch that she later disregards in future episodes. Megan has since posted a heart-wrenching video on Snapchat in which she revealed the situation was 'f***ing hurtful and heartbreaking.'

She said tearfully to the camera: 'I actually found some messages on Pete’s phone a few weeks ago and they weren’t good but I thought I’d give him another chance, as I feel like everyone deserves a second chance.

'The way that he was speaking to me was that he was really sorry and didn’t mean it. Obviously it’s not right that he was messaging other girls but he told me it was just innocent flirting.'  

The drama continues in The Only Way Is Essex on Wednesday 12th October at 10pm on ITVBe
