Summer Monteys-Fullam lined up for Ex On The Beach with TOWIE’s Gatsby to appear as former lover

EXCLUSIVE: Paul Hollywood’s ex Summer Monteys-Fullam is lined up for Ex On The Beach – with TOWIE’s Liam Gatsby to appear as her former lover

Summer Monteys-Fullam has been lined up for the new series of Ex On The Beach – in a move likely to infuriate former boyfriend Paul Hollywood. 

The ex-barmaid, 25, will be joined by TOWIE‘s Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell, 30, who she had a secret fling with in 2019, months after her dramatic split from the Bake Off judge, 54. 

The MTV series will be filmed in London and return to screens as Ex In The City, while coronavirus travel restrictions have prevented the show from being filmed abroad.

A TV insider told MailOnline: ‘Summer and Gatsby had a brief fling in December last year – but after he spent lockdown in the States, it will definitely be a shock for them to meet again after all this time on camera.

‘Paul will not be pleased with Summer taking part, the show is about previous partners – he will inevitably be mentioned, when all he wants is for that drama to be forgotten.

‘But Summer is really excited to film her first TV show, she’s had a constant stream of reality TV offers since rising to fame and now she’s finally ready to show people the real her.’

Paul developed a romantic relationship with Summer in November 2017 despite the pair’s 29 year age difference.

They were together days after Paul announced he had separated from his wife of two decades, Alex.

In August, after several confrontations between Summer, her family and Paul’s ex-wife, including a public spat in a Marks & Spencer, the pair split after two-years together. 

Summer reportedly dumped Paul after his ‘controlling’ behaviour became too much and he told her she must sign an NDA about their relationship. 

A month later in September 2019, Summer accused Paul of having a romance with another barmaid, this time 17 years his junior, called Melissa Spalding – but the GBBO judge denied the allegations.

Speaking earlier this year about her former romance with Paul, Summer said: ‘If you love someone, then age is nothing but a number. From the bottom of my heart all the way up, I loved him.’  

Summer was first linked to TOWIE star Gatsby after they were seen getting into a taxi together following a night out in December last year.

The pair, that have never spoken publicly about their fling, will be faced with each other on MTV’s Ex in the City, though it is unclear if the couple are looking to reconcile, or if they’re out for revenge. 

TOWIE’s Gatsby hasn’t had the best luck with women during his time on the ITVBe show after failing to impress Ferne McCann and Chloe Sims with his over the top romantic gestures. 

MailOnline has contacted MTV and a spokesman for Summer and Gatsby for comment.
