Towie’s Dan Edgar was ‘gutted’ to find out Lauren Pope was dating Jon Clark – so he’s dating HIS ex Amber Turner again
TOWIE'S Dan Edgar was so upset to learn Lauren Pope had got with Jon Clark that he's reignited his own romance with ex Amber Turner to get back at her.
Essex ladies' man Dan has been hurt to see all the PDAs that Lauren has been sharing with new man Jon in Marbella after their secret romance became public.
And now, after going on a string of dates with "stunning" Lauren in May, after declaring he was going to make a move on her before she returned to the show, Dan is feeling decidedly "mugged off".
But Lauren is loving her quality time with boyfriend Jon, who recently split from Chloe Crowhurst for the second time.
So Dan has taken drastic measures to protect himself from more heartbreak.
The Sun can exclusively reveal he's started up a Marbella fling with former secret lover Amber Turner after their string of romps broke up her relationship with Jamie Reed earlier this year.
A source close to Towie told us: "Dan liked Lauren so he feels really mugged off - and gutted.
"But he and Amber have been seeing each other again. She's been staying in his room in Marbella."

Our source added that Dan, 26, might be waiting a long time if he wants DJ and hairdresser Lauren, 34, to start paying him attention again.
They said: "With Dan and Lauren, there is just no real spark there.
"I think it was just based on looks whereas Lauren and Jon is the total opposite."
They added: "Lauren genuinely loves spending time with Jon because hes always making her laugh."
Jilted Dan, who was recently revealed to have slept with Jamie Laing's girlfriend, may have been a little misled by Lauren if her comments from this year are anything to go by.
She gushed: "He's so gorgeous and such a nice guy and me and him are very similar.
"Our natures are very calm, we're not loud in-your-face people.”
However, Lauren did say that she wished Dan was older than 30, saying that would make him "tick all the boxes."
Seeing as Jon is only 27, it seems Dan has definitely been dealt a pieing by the disc jockey.
No doubt this love triangle, or square if you include Amber in it, will unravel on Towie when it kicks off in September.
The Sun Online has contacted Dan and Amber's representatives for comment.
