Lucy Mecklenburgh and Tom Pearce on their date

Lucy Mecklenburgh insisted she will never get back with Mario Falcone after confirming she is dating Tom Pearce.

The brunette stunner, who last week confessed she still "loved" her ex-boyfriend, went on a date with her co-star Tom on last night's (13.10.13) episode of the ITV2 reality show and declared her and Mario are over for good.

Speaking to Tom, she said: "I really like you, I would never get back with him."

The pair then raised a glass to the news and Lucy added: "Cheers, f**k him."

The couple's comments came shortly after they survived an awkward moment when they walked into the Essex restaurant for their date only to see Mario and Lauren Pope - who he kissed in Las Vegas recently - dining with co-stars Chloe Sims and her brother Charlie King.

Upon seeing Tom and Lucy, who has been telling people Mario and Lauren slept together in the US city, the quartet burst out laughing and then began bitching about the pair.

Lauren blasted: "She can't fathom that two people haven't slept together because she sleeps with everyone."

She then confronted Lucy later in the evening during an awkward meeting in the toilet and said: "I'm a little p***ed off that you seem to be telling everyone I've slept with Mario."

But Lucy hit back: "There's no point in having this conversation."

The brunette stunner then stormed out as Lauren said: "You lie, so that's a point."

Meanwhile, Ferne McCann revealed she slept with ex-boyfriend Charlie in Vegas on the same night he told her he had bedded "at least 20" women since they broke up.

Elsewhere, Sam Faiers continued to flirt with Jess Wright's cousin Elliot at a party to celebrate his return to Essex for the summer.

As the pair, who agreed to go on a date, flirted in the bar, Sam's ex-boyfriend Joey Essex looked on in disgust and told his friends James 'Arg' Argent and James 'Diags' Bennewith that the blonde beauty has been calling him and declaring her love for him.

He said: "Boys, do you know what I can't believe? How she can sit there talking to Elliot like that in front of my face and all last night she's ringing me, saying, 'Please tell me you love me. I want to see you.' And all that.

"He don't know that she's been texting me and ringing me all week. All week. (sic)"
