TOWIE's Ricky Rayment has admitted to cheating on his long-term girlfriend Jessica Wright.

The 23-year-old was seen breaking down in tears on last night's episode of the hit reality show as he told Jess: "I did cheat on you."
Jess had earlier revealed to her Nanny Pat that she was worried about what Ricky may have done after his pal Mario Falcone hinted that the bar owner had been hiding something from her.
She then went round to Ricky's house, which she had been due to move in to, to find exactly what was going on.
Starting to cry, Ricky told her: "I'm not going to sit there and I'm not going to put you through lies, and I'm not going to put you through denials, I'm just going to man up and I'm just going to tell you what happened.
"And it was true, I did cheat on you.

Confessing all ... Ricky Rayment reveals he did cheat on Jess

"I can't sit here, and stay in a relationship with you knowing that I lied. I can't look at your face and say it didn't happen."
A devastated Jess, 27, simply held her head in her hands and told him: "I feel like I can't breathe."
Ricky continued: "Look I made a mistake, I'm not a cheater, you know who I am and don't forget the last 12 months because that's still me."
Jess then asked: "You slept with someone, behind my back?"
Ricky replied: "Yeah. I could easily sit here and deny it all and say 'oh no it didn't happen' but you deserve more than that.
"I don't remember who it was or where it was, it was insignificant to my life, it wasn't premeditated."

Shocked ... Jessica Wright held her head in her hands as she tried to take in the devastating news

Jess told him that if he had only cheated once like he was saying he must know who it was and when, and demanded to know the details.
But Ricky blasted back: "If I could tell you the details I would. I went out, got drunk, I don't remember what she looks like, I don't remember what happened, I just know it happened."
He then went on to insist that he had only strayed the once at the start of their relationship.
He added: "It was a few weeks into our relationship, I didn't know what was going to happen, I f***ed up...
"It was three or four weeks, it was right at the start."

Upset ... Jessica Wright began to sob as she told Ricky she couldn't believe what he had done

Jess told him that she didn't believe that him, and that she couldn't believe it was the only time.
To which Ricky raged: "Stop treating me like that, give me the respect that I'm trying to give to you, because what I've done is made a mistake. I'm not sitting here, and I'm not lying and I'm not hiding anything."
Ricky then went on to tell his girlfriend of just over a year that he still wanted to marry her and have kids with her.
Beginning to sob, the brunette boutique owner told him she was astounded that he could cheat after he had told her so many times that he would never betray her.
And Ricky replied: "Just because I've done that, doesn't mean I'm a cheater."
He then went on to plead with her to forgive him.
