Joey Essex and Jessy Potts just missed out on a place in the final - and now insiders close to the couple say they're feeling the strain of life after the show.
Jessy previously confessed they struggled as Joey was thrown back into his established showbiz career while she finds her feet.
and a source told The Sun: "Joey and Jessy have barely spent any time together as he’s been so busy doing nightclub PAs - it’s causing a lot of friction between them.
"At Ronnie Vint’s Eggiboff event it was noticed by a lot of people that they hardly spoke. Sadly it looks like it’s only a matter of time before they split."

Admitting it's been "hard" to keep their relationship going after the show, Jessy told : "We’re organising when to see each other, and I think it’s hard because you compare it to the other couples.
"They’re with each other 24/7, whereas we always knew it was going to be different because he’s catching up on his normal life, whereas for the rest of us we’re thrown into a new life.
"Everything is new and we’re waiting for things to come up. It was always going to be slightly different.
"We’re both making the effort and everyone’s speculating that we’ve broken up. We’re working it out."
