Towie’s Amber Turner at centre of huge bust-up between SAS Who Dares Wins hardman and his missus over ‘flirty’ messages
TOWIE star Amber Turner is at the centre of a furious bust-up between Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins hardman Chris Oliver and his long-term girlfriend.
Jasmine Shergold confronted Amber in a tense phone call after finding “flirty” messages between the pair on Chris’s Instagram account.
Amber, 30, met 40-year-old Chris in the Vietnamese jungle filming the Channel 4 show.
Jasmine, 33, has been with the ex-Special Forces hunk for almost a decade.
A source said: “Chris and Amber had been DM-ing each other and Jasmine found them.
“The messages were very chatty and conversational but some appeared to be a bit flirty.

“Chris had sent the odd picture too and talked about going out in London with Amber.
“For Jasmine it came as a shock.
“She was understandably angry and wanted to know just what was happening.
“Chris had asked for Amber’s phone number so Jasmine rang her and they spoke.”

Insiders said Jasmine asked Amber to delete her messages, including her phone number.
The source added: “Amber was so apologetic and was mortified when Jasmine called.
“Amber said she had no idea Chris had a partner.
“In Amber’s eyes, she had done nothing wrong.
“Jasmine believed what Amber told her and ultimately she knows that Amber has not lied to her.
“Naturally it is upsetting to find messages to another woman on your partner’s social media accounts, especially when it comes out of the blue.”
Following the conversation, Chris posted three photographs of himself and Jasmine on Instagram on Wednesday evening.
They were the first pictures he had shared of Jasmine on his public account since he opened it in October last year.
One of his followers commented: “Bro, what you in the dog house for . . .”
Yesterday Chris deleted the three snaps, which included a snap at the National Television Awards in London’s O2 Arena last month.
Meanwhile Jasmine switched her Instagram account from open to private.
The source continued: “Nothing happened between Chris and Amber — it was all just messages.
“But obviously Jasmine was upset about it all.”
Asked if she wanted to make a comment, Jasmine, who lives with Chris in Poole, Dorset, said: “Not just at the moment.”
The Sun also contacted the representatives of SAS Who Dares Wins, and Amber, for comment.
Amber has been single since the summer when she split from her Towie co-star Dan Edgar after five years together.

Their relationship played out on the popular ITVBE show, on which Amber first appeared in 2017.
Chris joined the ranks of SAS Who Dares Wins last year and was first seen on screen during the civilian series.
According to his biography on the Channel 4 website, he was in the SAS alongside long-serving star Jason Fox.
He joined the military aged 16 and after moving to the elite fighting force was deployed on operations in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan before leaving in 2015.
Chris said he helped plan the first series of the hit Channel 4 show, which first aired in 2015.
The first celebrity series was screened four years later.
As well as serving alongside Jason, nicknamed Foxy, Chris met fellow show star Billy Billingham during his military training.
Chris said in his bio: “The military has made me the man I am today, with the values and ethos I still follow to this day.

“Respect, hard work and leading by example is something that I always strive to achieve, and it has allowed me to succeed within the Special Forces, civilian and social life.”
Amber signed up to the SAS Who Dares Wins, which is billed as the hardest reality show on the telly, last year.
She was flown to the jungle alongside former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, glamour models Melinda Messenger and Dannielle Lloyd, former Dancing On Ice judge John Barrowman and Love Island’s Montana Brown.
