Diags’ mystery woman revealed after he’s ‘caught cheating’ on girlfriend Elma at Towie finale

THE Only Way Is Essex star James ‘Diags’ Bennewith’s mystery woman has been revealed – after he was “caught cheating”.

The TV star – who rose to fame on the ITVBe show back in 2009 – was seen locking lips with a brunette, despite confirming his relationship with his co-star Elma Pazar.

Yesterday, Diags, 31, was caught out snogging an unknown woman in a bar – days after confirming his romance with a Love Island star.

The TV star revealed he had been dating Elma Pazar, who appeared on the ITV2 show in 2019, before he was spotted out with another woman in Essex.

Now, the identity of the mystery girl has been revealed as Jodie Wells, who he met behind the scenes of the long-running show.

The brunette beauty, who is a mother-of-one, appeared in the background of the finale episode.

Jodie was photographed at filming for the finale of the latest series of Towie, alongside three other female pals.

She revealed her outfit in full, including a brown crop top, brown leggings and UGG shoes, in the snap at the event, where Diags was in attendance.

She was seen leaning in for a snog and a number of cuddles with Diags on a night out in Brentwood over the weekend.

In one photo, the TV star was seen holding her hips, and in another, the couple is pressed up against a wall, kissing.

Diags is pictured holding Jodie’s hands in another photo as they stand at a bar together on a night out.

It followed Diags and Elma confirming their romance on the latest episode of The Only Way Is Essex.

The pair were also seen kissing on the beach in Thailand while they filmed new scenes for the ITVBe reality show.

The couple appeared to be going from strength to strength.

Elma was also recently pictured looking very smitten as she showed off her new relationship by wearing a top with his face on for Towie.

Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report, he said: “We have always been close. It’s moved on a bit – she is nice.

“I was declaring my love for her in Dominican Republic (last series) and she had a boyfriend. Unfortunately for him, he’s not in the picture any more. It is fortunate for me.

“We have gone on some dates. We have gone on a date on screen and then off screen. She is a nice girl.”

Today, Diags broke his silence after the “cheating” snaps, as he shared a photo celebrating his brother Jack.

Diags shared the story posted by Jack, detailing his horror health scare two years ago when his “brain exploded”.

Back in 2021, the star revealed his brother had been whisked away to hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm, which required an eight-hour surgery to save his life.

Looking back on the tricky time, Jack shared a photo of himself in his hospital bed ahead of his surgery.

He penned: “Two years ago my brain exploded, and two years later, me and my bro Diags are out here taking Plumb Point Essex to the next level.

“All the things I was supposed to struggle with? Completed it mate. Don’t ever tell me I can’t do something.”

Diags reposted the story along a love heart emoji and clapping hands.
