She continued: “Life threw a massive curveball at me over six weeks ago. But I
can now say I have healed and I am happy. Some things in life just aren’t
meant to be.”

And she added the following hashtags for good measure: “#Indonesia #Traveling
#SEAsia #Closure #NoRegrets.”

Lydia and Arg, who have been on-off lover since 2010, were on the verge of
getting engaged and had put down a deposit on their dream family home.

But Lydia was left devastated when she came home from a night out to find him
“out of it”.

Arg, 28, was suspended from Towie in November 2014 after testing positive for
cocaine.

He checked into The Priory for a month-long stint of rehab and was let back on
the ITV show in 2015.

A source said at the time: “Lydia and Arg have broken up and it’s for good
this time. It happened because he relapsed.

“Lydia came home early from an event in London and found Arg a bit out of it.
She’s absolutely devastated.

“She doesn’t want this, and drugs just aren’t her lifestyle. He went to rehab
and she stood by him, so this has come as a real shock to her.”

Lydia was said to be particularly enraged as her mum has worked as a foster
carer and they have both seen the damage drugs can do.

The source added: “Lydia hates them. She’s really disappointed in Arg.”

Following the news – which left fans of the couple equally shocked – Lydia
jetted off on holiday to put the drama behind her.

Over the last couple of weeks she has shared numerous pictures of herself
looking happy and relaxed.

She even got her first ever tattoo – a fish hook.

Explaining her reasoning, she said: “So here it is my ever tattoo. A fish hook

“In February, I took part in the biggest challenge of my life ‘Bear Grylls The
Island.’ I got a nasty, extremely painful fish hook stuck in my finger that
left me my proud scar.

“I got this tattoo in Bali to represent my wonderful world travels and
incredible experiences.”

 She added: “The show will be airing on channel 4 very soon.”
