Lewis Bloor has come clean and admitted that he DID cheat on girlfriend Marnie Simpson.
However, he insists he was driven to it by her because he was jealous that she was flirting with an ex.
The handsome ex-TOWIE star was exposed as a love cheat when a video emerged of him fooling around with another woman behind Marnie’s back.

The Geordie Shore star then revealed that she had been approached by a woman who told her that they had done “everything apart from sleep together” in Barcelona.
But now Lewis has opened up to The Sun Online about what he really got up to.
“We’d been out in Barcelona and I couldn’t sleep, Marnie was asleep in the hotel, and I’m thinking, I don’t wanna be in this relationship’,” he confessed.
“So I went down to the beach and at 5am as the sun was coming up there were a couple of girls down there who I got talking to and I ended up kissing one of them.
“We went back to their room to have a little party, we ended up kissing in bed but that was it, anything about us “almost having sex” is rubbish.
“I woke up the next day and I thought, ‘Right, I’m in Barcelona with Marnie, we do get along, we do have a good relationship so far, and everyone has history,’ so just decided to continue as we were.”
Lewis revealed that it was Marnie’s behaviour that forced him to cheat. He said that while they were getting ready to go out one night, Marnie received a text from some guy who was also in Barcelona.
Later she got a text that came up saying ‘My Boo’ with love hearts. He demanded that they go and meet the fella.
Lewis says that what happened next left him “fuming” and “humiliated.”
“We met this guy who was very good looking and I was standing there very observant, I could tell there was some kind of history as she was all over him and wouldn’t stop flirting.
“We got into the cab to go back to the hotel and Marnie’s mates started asking who he was and Marnie says, ‘Oh me and so-and-so have always had a thing.’
“All three of us looked at each other and then at her and said, ‘Are you kidding?!’”
Lewis said that really embarrassed and humiliated him on their holiday. He also said that she must have had feelings for this guy because when they split up on New Year’s Eve she went on to spend the night snogging and partying with him.”
Lewis admits that his “pathetic” behaviour was wrong and that he cheated because he felt emasculated, admitting, “My logic was, ‘I don’t wanna forget about this relationship just yet’, so I did something to feel a little more manly I suppose – how pathetic is that?
“I did it because I felt very jealous and insecure, and that it would allow us to continue with the holiday.”
Although Marnie said that she’d only found out what Lewis did days after their split last month, Lewis says he told her straight away.
“I told her what had happened when we were back home and she went absolutely berserk, started throwing things at me, kicked me, pulled my hair and cried her eyes out for three hours and called me every name under the sun, which I accepted.
“Then she said she was going to go and sleep with other people which she later apologised for.”
Lewis says he is to have therapy for the issues that made him cheat and says he will endeavour to win her back.

In response to his accusations, Marnie admitted that she bumped into someone she had kissed before Lewis but says she was not all over him, although she may have perhaps been a little over friendly. However, she was adamant that she has “never cheated, wouldn’t cheat and didn’t deserve to be cheated on for this.”
