Towie’s Diags and Fran Parman flirt on Eating With My Ex as she tells him ‘you really turn me on when you cry’
TOWIE stars James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and Fran Parman flirted as they came face to face on Eating With My Ex.
The former couple, who called time on their three-year romance in 2018, have since reunited on the celebrity version of the BBC Three show.
In the upcoming episode, James, 28, opens up about crying on Towie.
The star was having an emotional heart to heart with Chloe Sims when he broke down in tears.
And while the scene left most viewers heartbroken at the time, Fran, 28, joked she was turned on by his tears.
Diags said: "I'm very in touch with my emotional side."
Fran replied: "I'm proud of you, you cried. You're a man."
The Towie star added: "I lift weights and cry at the same time."
Fran flirted back: "Sexy! It turns me on. The thought of you, it turns me on so much."
The pair first got together shortly after Fran joined the ITVbe show in 2014 as Diags' housemate.
She initially dated Tom Pearce but when that fell through became loved-up with the brunette hunk.
Following their split a friend revealed to the Sun's Bizarre column they had spent a night together and Fran was keen to win him back.
A TV source said: “She still loves Diags. Since they broke up last year they went on this crazy diet and lost three stone.
“She slept with Diags a couple of months ago but after she’d got up and left his house he blocked her.
“Fran now wants to go on the show and confront him and try and win him back.”
Diags lost an impressive two and a half stone after their split, which he admitted had spurred him on to overhaul his lifestyle and "start afresh".
