After receiving a barrage of abuse on Twitter, Ricky sent a message to announce he was leaving the social networking site for 'a while'.
During their argument at Jasmin Walia's Diwali party, Ricky initially tried to deny the rumours.

"How dare you! You are a liar. You don't love me.
"If you thought our relationship was in a s*** place, then it's in an even worse one now because we're done – forever! Stay the f*** away from me."
After the show, Jess took to Twitter to vent more anger. She wrote: "I have every single message in black & white which lasted for more than 60 MINUTES #morelies haven't I been through enough [sic]"
But not everyone is angry at Ricky. Pal Mario Falcone has leapt to his defence, insisting he was lonely and needed to talk to other women while he and Jess were going through a bad patch.
Or he could have, you know, spoken to his girlfriend. Just saying.
