Viewers watched touching proposal on Channel 5 show - unaware Ed has been approaching men for sex on Grindr
BIG Brother star Andy West has dumped his philandering fiance after he was caught trawling the internet for no-strings sex.
The Irishman, using the user name ‘Discreet F**k’, begged one user to meet up for a late night fumble.
And it seems that Andy and Ed - who proposed to the ex-journalist on Big Brother - are over for good.
Last night, the 34-year-old was seen out in London, but his engagement ring was noticeably absent.
He tweeted that he was missing the Celebrity Big Brother launch as "love and life kept me out tonight".
But according to pals, Andy wasn't simply letting off some steam in Soho last night, he has dumped Ed and he is getting ready to move on with his life.
One told The Sun: "Andy was telling friends that he simply doesn't believe Eds' explanation.
"When he first came out of the house he had too much to process after over a month holed away with no contact with the outside world.
"But now he's had time to think about everything, he is deeply, deeply embarrassed about the whole thing.
"He's also angry that Ed's proposal went from an unforgettable TV moment to an indelible reminder of betrayal.
"Last night he took his engagement ring off - it's over for good."
“He must have literally said goodbye to Andy and then hopped on the app – he’s been on it ever since.
In one of the lurid messages, Ed sends a picture of his naked bum, and tells Nick he “want[s to be] f**ked”.
After a few weeks of lacklustre chat and flirting, Nick was then shocked to see his potential suitor on Channel 5 proposing to somebody else on July 3rd.
He said: "When I then saw him go on TV and propose to his boyfriend Andy live on air, I couldn’t believe it was him.
“He has been cheating on his Big Brother boyfriend and sending me messages and trying to hook up!"
But it's not all bad news for the handsome reality star - it means he doesn't have to wear his "ugly" engagement ring.
The friend added: "He was saying he hated the ring anyway as it looked like something out of the Argos catalogue - but you could tell he was really hurting.
"Good on him though, he's not moping around. He was straight out in Soho with his mates, having a great time and moving on with his life.
"Him and Ed are finished for good.
"He's thankful The Sun outed him as being a loverat - it's better he shows his true colours now than years down the line when they're legally bound."
It's a real turnaround for Andy, who came fourth when the series ended on Tuesday.
Speaking to journalists the day after, he said that he was hoping to marry Ed by Christmas.
He said: "Ed and I woke up in each other's arms this morning and I am so happy to be back with him in the real world.
"I can't talk too much about what happened on Grindr because I haven't read everything yet. But I am so happy to be back with him."
