Joey Essex and Sam Faiers are reported to have called time on their relationship again.

The two former stars of The Only Way Is Essex had reunited earlier this year following Sam's realisation that she was suffering from Crohn's Disease after falling ill while in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Joey only got back with Sam - to whom he had previously been engaged - in March, but is now reported by The Sun to have dumped her and flown home from Marbella where they had been celebrating her sister Billie's engagement.

A source said: "Joey and Sam have been on the rocks for a while. They are constantly bickering and falling out. It's not been pretty.

"But the last straw was in Marbella. The atmosphere between them wasn't healthy and Joey simply had enough — he just had to get away."
