TOWIE star Diags has found himself in a ‘cheating’ scandal after kissing his co-star behind a new girl’s back.

Recently, Diags, 32, has been rebuilding his friendship with co-star Elma Pazar after their brief romance which played out on the show.

And they engaged in an honest chat in a recent episode in the new series as Diags confront Elma after Saffron Lempriere said the former Love Islander would hook up with him.

Despite not being together, The Sun has now revealed that former love birds Diags – real name James Bennewith – and Elma have had some “drunken snogs,” behind the girl’s back that he’s seeing.

A source said: “It’s not technically cheating because Diags and Jodie aren’t officially boyfriend and girlfriend, but she won’t be pleased to find out Diags and Elma have had some secret kisses after a few drinks.

“It’s hard because there are still a lot of feelings involved – Diags is torn. But this is Towie – the truth always comes out in the end.”

Diags and Elma’s reps have been contacted for comment. Towie failed to return a request for comment.

Diags has been dating Jodie Wells, and he introduced to his close pal Dan Edgar as the trio enjoyed some fish and chips by the sea.

The Sun previously revealed Diags was growing close to Jodie, after she appeared as an extra in the latest series finale.

Fans of Towie were left shocked last series when Diags was pictured “cheating” on Elma with Jodie Wells, who he met behind the scenes of the long-running show.

And former Love Island star Elma later opened about her feelings following their split at the time.

She told The Sun: “I need to focus on myself a little bit more and deal with my own issues.

“Me and Diags are okay, during the series you see me open up about how I’m really feeling and me just being truth to myself really.

“You never know what can happen in the future.”
