The 29-year-old and Ricky, 24, split last year and, while Jess has been focusing on her career, he has been enjoying some high-profile dates in their local.
Ricky and Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson, 21, were snapped on a date at Essex hotspot Sugar Hut, and couldn’t keep their hands off of each other.
A source told the Mirror: “Jess feels Ricky is being hugely disrespectful. Behind the scenes, she has shed real tears. She is shocked he has been able to move on so quickly.”
According to the insider, Jess feels Marnie is simply using Ricky for publicity. They were caught hooking up at the National Television Awards last month – while Marnie still had a boyfriend.
This week Jess shared a cryptic quote on Instagram, which said: “Be ambitious, not thirsty.”
While Jess has been keeping it classy, focusing on work and her fiends, Ricky insists he’s doing nothing wrong in moving on.
The TOWIE star defended Marnie on Twitter at the end of last month. When one of his followers claimed she had no class, unlike Jess, Ricky replied: “She does trust me… a tv show is a tv show. Don’t be too quick to judge x [sic]”
Speaking previously, Jess insisted she didn’t want any bitterness with Ricky and insisted they’d cleared the air.
