James Lock claims Yazmin Oukhellou ‘did well’ to get him during showdown on Eating With My Ex

It was revealed last week that they had split up once again after a series of explosive rows in Dubai.

And so it’s ironic that James Lock and Yazmin Oukhellou come face to face to address their previous 2019 split in tense new scenes for the celebrity version of Eating With My Ex.

In an exclusive clip ahead of the show, James, 33, is seen claiming that Yazmin, 26, was ‘obsessed’ and ‘did well’ to get him, while she hit out at his ‘flashy’ behaviour.

In the clip, filmed before their reconciliation and subsequent split this year, James asked Yazmin if they were ‘couple goals’.

The beauty then noted that they were a ‘good looking’ couple, with James asking if that was the only ‘pro’ of their relationship.

Opening up further about their on/off romance, Yazmin added: ‘You was my best friend and I’d tell you everything and I relied on you for a lot.’

Despite Yazmin’s deep words, James shrugged as he said: ‘What can I say, you messed up!’, with Yazmin firing back: ‘I messed up? Really, you’re going to sit there and say that.’

Things then got tense as Yazmin glared at him from across the table, with James warning her not to give him ‘that stare’. 

Then, in a separate VT, James told the camera: ‘I ain’t being funny, Yazmin knows the score, I was a catch, she done well with me. Since me, it’s been all downhill.’

Back at the table, their awkward exchange continued, with Yazmin telling her ex: ‘I never ever fell out of love with you.’

With James then retorting: ‘You see the passion, it was too much. It’s borderline obsession wasn’t it?’

As Yazmin made to protest, he continued: ‘It’s not a bad thing. Look I’ll take a step back and step into your shoes, looking from that point of view I can understand where you’re coming from.’

And while James had his turn to make a dig, Yazmin then stepped up to give James some home truths of his own.

Speaking directly, she said: ‘When I first met you, what attracted me to you then started to grate on me. The whole flash, big I am and centre of attention, it got on my nerves.

James then interjected: ‘I agree with that, that’s why you tried to change me. You shouldn’t try to change someone though.’

As thing became heated between the pair, James said in his VT: ‘I’ve been in here five minutes, it’s all kicked off, she’s giving me what for… urgh, get me out of here!’ 

The conversation also saw Yazmin confront James over his fidelity as she asked: ‘Did you cheat whilst I was asleep?’

Other famous faces such as Love Island’ Megan Barton Hanson and TOWIE’s Demi Sims also appear on the show.

While singer Tallia Storm, Geordie Shore’s Nathan Henry, The Apprentice star Ryan-Mark Parsons, and broadcaster Mim Shaikh, all meet their exes once more to discuss the demise of their relationships.

‘It’s an amicable split and both of them are certain that it’s time to move on with no animosity.’ 

James is now planning to fly home while Yazmin stays in the UAE.

The Essex couple has experienced a tempestuous relationship, splitting up and reconciling on a number of occasions after they first started dating in 2017. 

They split in 2019 after Yazmin accused James of betraying her by partying with a group of women in a hotel room in Turkey, where the couple were on holiday together. 

Eating With My Ex Celebrity Specials will be available on BBC iPlayer from February 14.
