They may have only been off the small screen for a few weeks but the cast mates of The Only Way Is Essex still managed to create plenty of drama during their break from filming.

On tonight's episode of the reality show we got up brought up to speed learning that Gemma Collins and James Argent have split up and she has been dating her ex-boyfriend Rami for a number of weeks, which may or may not overlap her relationship with Arg.

Gemma, who believes Arg cheated on her during their time together, was also seen rowing with Mario Falcone claiming he told her new man that she wasn't good enough for him.

The curvy blonde was seen heading to Mario and Lucy's flat to confront Mario - but the businessman was not at home and Gemma was seen enjoying a glass of wine with Lucy and Lydia.

When he did return Gemma wasted no time in questioning him on what he told her boyfriend and even brought Rami into the flat to talk to him.

She blasted: 'Don't ever go up to my new fella..... don't tell him I'm not good enough to speak to him.'

Not giving anything away: Mario was rather coy about what he had or hadn't said to Gemma's current boyfriend

Earlier in the evening the plus-size fashion designer went to speak to Diags to find out if Arg had cheated on her when he was on holiday over the summer.

Diags was eating with Tom P when Gemma turned up and asked him outright.

Arg's friend didn't know what to say and told the busty blonde: 'Sorry to come here but I just need to know if James has cheated on me?'

While Gemma didn't get a proper answer from Diags, Arg was seen chatting to Joey Essex about the reasons why he decided to break up with Gemma.

With Joey pretending to be his ex-girlfriend Arg said: 'I love you Gemma and I care about you as a friend I've tried making it work... but I need to be single I need to be one of the boys.'

He also said that listening to a One Direction song had made him realise that he was young and needed to have fun.
