Who is Jacqui Ryland? Pete Wicks’ ex, former dominatrix and glamour model who Towie star was caught sexting
There's more than meets the eye when it comes to this feisty star...
JACQUI Ryland well and truly threw the cat amongst the pigeons when she outed Towie star Pete Wicks for sexting her behind girlfriend Megan McKenna's back.
But who is Jacqui? How did she meet Pete and what happened in the scandal?
Here's everything you need to know about her...
Who is Jacqui Ryland?
Jacqui Ryland is a fitness and glamour model who has previously worked as a dominatrix.
She had her first boob job at 17 after hating growing up flat-chested, though she now says she regrets it.
The health guru has an impressive 113,000 followers on Instagram, and she frequently posts workout routines to encourage fitness.
From her website , she has a subscription service to both her glamour photographs and more workout routines.
She is currently raising her three children - two boys and a girl - as a single mum.
Where would I recognise Jacqui from?
Before coming in between Towie's royal couple Pete Wicks and Megan McKenna, Jacqui made her TV debut on Channel 5's Body Freaks.
She also appeared on This Morning to discuss her use of illegal Human Growth Hormones (HGH), and why she did it.
The C-class drugs are only available on prescription, and she declared she had become addicted.
She confessed: "It makes your skin look better, makes you look younger and your nails and hairs grow and shed fat."
At her worst, she would take up to 100 selfies a day as she tried to achieve the 'perfect' body through the use of the drug.
She has since revealed she's stopped taking it and instead focuses her efforts on a more traditional workout routine.
What happened between Jacqui and Pete Wicks?
Jacqui and Pete briefly dated before he got together with Megan McKenna last year.
However, Jacqui revealed that despite his public relationship with Megan, he had been sexting her behind Megan's back.
The model said her relationship with Pete “fizzled out” but ended amicably which is why she got back in contact when his dog suddenly died.
She added: “He was doing the public affection thing with her and then sending me these messages.
“I just feel really sorry for Megan. Clearly she is a girl who wears her heart on her sleeve and I think he could potentially really hurt her.
“It makes you think – is he just messaging me? Or are there loads of other girls?
“I think he has this whole public perception of him that he is this big-hearted guy – but I think he is very clever. He totally wooed me at the beginning.”
This led to a showdown between Megan and Pete and they briefly split up before deciding to try and work out their issues.
She has since slammed him again for "not knowing what love is" following Pete and Megan's official split in March this year.
Talking to The Sun, Jacqui added: “He’s just a dog and he loves the chase, he’ll never change and have a loving long-term relationship, but I think she’ll move on and be happy.”
