Towie star Megan McKenna’s pal from Ex On The Beach dies just one day after discovering boyfriend has been sexting his ex

MEGAN McKenna has suffered another heartbreak as she revealed on Twitter that one of her Ex On The Beach friends has died.

The sad news came just one day after she found out boyfriend Pete Wicks had been sexting his ex, Jacqui Ryland.

The 24-year-old posted on Twitter this morning at her shock at Rob Charlie Cook's passing.

She wrote: "Can't believe the sad news I've received @robcharliecook rest in peace. Such a good guy xx."

Rob was a member of the crew on Ex on The Beach, but it is not clear yet how he died.

Some fans took the opportunity to encourage Megan to give Pete another chance.

One follower responded: "Puts things into perspective. Pete made a mistake but don't give up on him xx".

But others had a different opinion, with someone else writing: "Life is too short to waste on doomed relationships babe xx"

Yesterday Megan posted a heartfelt video on Snapchat just hours after pictures emerged of her having a furious row with her boyfriend over sexy texts he had been sending an ex-girlfriend behind her back.

The Sun Online exclusively revealed how the tattooed hunk had been exchanging messages with his former lover, model Jacqui Ryland, and bombarded the brunette with a series of x-rated texts while he was holidaying with Megan in Barcelona.

And while the 24-year-old admitted she had known about some texts between the pair, she hadn't realised the full extent or nature of their exchange.

She said: "You know what I’m going to actually tell you guys on here what happened.

Megan and Pete's relationship has hit the rocks following the sexting scandal

"I actually found some messages on Pete’s phone a few weeks ago and they weren’t good but I thought I'd give him another chance, as I feel like everyone deserves a second chance.

"The way that he was speaking to me was that he was really sorry and didn’t mean it.

"Obviously it's not right that he was messaging other girls but he told me it was just innocent flirting."

The revelation came just days after Megan celebrated her birthday in Marbella with Pete, who bought her a Rolex watch and showered her with gifts.

Megan's post came hours after it was reported Pete, 27, had been flown home from the Spanish resort following the fiery confrontation with his girlfriend.  

A source exclusively told us: “Pete was due to stay on till the end of filming in Marbella as he is one of the main cast.

“But he is being sent home early. There is so much drama on set right now and they are hoping this will ease the tension.”
