Meanwhile Diags, 31, has opened up about his new love.

"I am always a bit cagey – from years of being in relationships.
"That is kind of what I did last time – I put all my eggs in one basket and then found out she was with someone. It is different now. But you don’t want to get too ahead of yourself.
"It is early days.. I think we really like each other. I really like her."
The pair were first linked together in June last year after Elma joined the show in the Dominican Republic.
Then in October Elma teased to The Sun that there may well be romance on the cards for herself and a fellow co-star.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun, the Towie star revealed she’s still into Diags but that it seems to be unrequited.
She said: “While the show was airing I was in a relationship and then by the end of the series I’d declared that I was single.
“I’ve had an on-off thing with Diags – well I say that but it’s not like anything has ever happened because it hasn’t – but I basically love him, and he is not reciprocating.”
