Eeek! Towie bad boy Mario Falcone deletes Emma McVey from his life

He dated a load of his Towie castmates – including Lucy, Chloe and Lauren – but seemed to find true love with the stunning Emma McVey.

Still, it wasn't meant to be for Mario Falcone and his lingerie model girlfriend of eight months: the duo appear to have split for good.

The reality TV star has recently returned to the hit ITV2 show following his suspension, and he and Emma have enjoyed several jaunts abroad since beginning their relationship late last year.

Both regularly kept their fans updated with romantic images of their outings and day-to-day activities, but now Mario has done a total clearout… deleting 27-year-old Emma from every one of his social media posts.

Her Instagram account has also become noticeably quiet: unusually, she hasn't shared a single photo of her former beau for more than three weeks. She also took to Twitter over the weekend to report that she was "drained".

Mr Falcone and Ms McVey were rumoured to have broken-up in March following a spat, but it had seemed like they had put their differences aside.

Last time they fell out – supposedly because of his onscreen flirtations with ex Chloe Lewis – Emma was vocal about her dissatisfaction, going online to state via her Twitter account that she was "far too good" to put up with such behaviour. 

"You slate your friends for disrespecting people for air time. Wow @Mario_Falcone you almost fooled me," she added at the time.
