Dan Osborne, 23, recently hinted that things are not all well between himself and pregnant girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa, 22, after tweeting a cryptic message to his fans.
DAN OSBORNE 'STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF JACQUELINE JOSSA AND EX MEGAN TOMLIN'
Taking to social media, he wrote: "Relationships just do not seem to work."
Many assumed that this - not to mention the usually Twitter-happy Jacqueline's silence on social media - meant that the couple's relationship has ended.
And now, speaking with a UK magazine just before the Twitter post went live, TOWIE star James Lock has hinted that his co-star's ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin could be to be part of the problem.
Painting a less than rosy picture of Dan and Jac's relationship, Lockie explained that Dan would be more likely to stay at the home of Teddy's mum, Megan, than Jacqueline's house.

He told New! magazine: "Dan's living with jacqueline… he's between at the minute.
"When he sees Jacqueline, he stays at hers.
"When he sees Ted, which is pretty much all of the time, he stays with Meg."
James added: "Meg's got a separate annexe he stays in."
Dan has previously claimed that at times he can feel caught “in the middle” of Jacqueline and Megan since the news broke that he was expecting his second child earlier this year.
He admitted back in the summer: “It’s a really difficult situation. It’s not easy for Megan… but I’m trying to do the best I can for her, Jacqueline, and of course Teddy.
"We are trying to work through it all together.”
He was reported to have been arrested for assault following a heated argument at Megan's house in November, but was later released without charge.
