Meanwhile, James believed Yazmin “messed up” following their split.

In a separate clip, James told the camera: “I ain’t being funny, Yazmin knows the score, I was a catch, she done well with me. Since me, it’s been all downhill.”

The 34-year-old also went on to say that Yazmin’s “passion” became “borderline obsession”.

Defending herself, Yaz said: “When I first met you, what attracted me to you then started to grate on me.

“The whole flash, big I am and centre of attention, it got on my nerves.”

In the show, James continued to deny the claims that he cheated, which had always been an insecurity of Yazmin’s.
