When Lucy Mecklenburgh split with Mario Falcone, she cryptically said it wasn't down to cheating but something 'much worse'. And now Mario has revealed that the break-up came after he overdosed on pills in a bid to kill himself.
Mario, 25, has made the shocking revelation because he wants to set the record straight after Lucy said there was a 'big, dark secret' behind their breakup.
Speaking to Now magazine, Mario explained: "I didn't ever want to talk about this because it's not nice. I didn't want my family or friends to know. The only people who know what happened are my mum, my best mat Miller and my manager."
He continued: "But Lucy's been talking about this 'big, dark secret'. It's made people think I've done horrible things to her when I haven't."

Mario went on to reveal that he took an overdose after he and Lucy briefly separated following the rumours that he'd cheated on her with one of the Sugar Hut Honeys.
He said: "I took an overdose of 40 horrendously strong painkillers...I fell asleep and woke up at 5am being violently sick. I can't remember much, only that I was relieved when I woke up because I realised how f***ing stupid I'd been."
Mario, who was engaged to Lucy last year, continued: "I didn't cheat on her with them [the Sugar Hut Honeys] but I couldn't prove it. So I thought: 'F*** this, what's the use?"

And what's more, Louise's arch enemy, Lucy Watson, was obviously loving the fact that her boyfriend's ex had apparently done the dirty on Andy, saying: "Now who's the sl*tty one?"
Andy was visibly upset after Louise went AWOL following a meet up with a guy who fancied her.
He told his BFF Stevie: "This guy that Louise had said that she fancies got in touch with her the other day and had texted her asking to got for a drink.
'I thought whatever, she goes for a drink... four hours later I haven't heard from her at all. I texted how was your date? It gets to two in the morning, I text where are you? No reply.'"

Referring to Spencer Matthews' infidelity during his relationship with Rumours that Helen Flanagan and Scott Sinclair are on the verge of splitting have emerged again.
A pesky source has told The Mirror that Helen, 22, confronted Scott, 24, after it was reported that he had been spotted flirting with a woman while in Monoco.
They told the paper: “Helen was told Scott had a ‘thing’ with a girl while on holiday, a young lady he met at a posh yacht party.
"Obviously she confronted him about it but he assured her the rumours were rubbish and that nothing happened.”
However, the source went on to claim that things between Helen and Scott are very rocky with the actress wanting things to be more serious between the two of them that he does.
The insider continued: “But things are definitely up in the air. Helen loves Scott dearly and is desperate for things to work out between them.
“Scott, though, seems more up for a casual thing – he’s focusing on his football and recovering from injury. He is a good-looking lad who loves attention from the ladies.
“He doesn’t want a relationship in the public eye and had told a couple of people the relationship is finished.
"Scott considers himself to be young, free and single.”
However, Helen has since tweeted that she is looking forward to having Scott home, ignoring the Read More »from Helen Flanagan and Scott Sinclair split rumours return as she tweets that everything is fine between the twoTOWIE Preview: Sam Faiers breaks down in tears on realising her relationship with Joey Essex could be over for good
By Chris | the bike shed – Sat, Jun 15, 2013 14:35 BSTSam Faiers will break down in tears on realising her split from Joey Essex could be for good on the latest episode of TOWIE.
The 22-year-old star can be seen being comforted by her friend Gemma Collins in stills from the latest episode.
Joey called off his engagement to Sam during a group trip to Marbella with the blonde beauty coping surprisingly well with the split – convinced that this is just a momentary blip.
However, as the realisation that things may be over between the pair for good, Sam breaks down in tears.
Meanwhile, it’s handbags at dawn for Sam’s older sister Billie and Joey’s cousin Chloe Sims as the two come face-to-face for the first time since the split.
Although we fail to believe that they just so happened to book the same spa appointment, but we digress.
While Chloe is firmly in Joey’s corner, telling him that he can do better than Sam, Billie is naturally on her sister’s side.
And it's not long before the two end up having an almighty row about the split.
Jeez, it seems that when a couple breaks up on TOWIE, the whole cast somehow get involved.
Also in Sunday’s episode, Mario Falcone finally confronts his supposed mate Ricky Rayment after he discovers that it was he who betrayed him by telling ex girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh of his cheating ways.

The 20-year-old singer, who has denied on many occasions that her engagement to Liam, 23, is off, told Billboard magazine that she had given up a lot, including relationships, to get where she is in her career.
She said: “I never stop working, ever - I put my track list together this morning.
“I want my record to be the biggest record in the world, and I've given everything to get here, even down to friends and family and relationships - I've just put this music first.”
Miley also admitted that she is no longer the same person she used to be, changing as she develops as an artist.
She said: “That's been kind of a trip: It's not like I'm losing who I am - I actually found out more about who I am by making this music.
“I'm going on a journey, and that's more than a lot of 20-year-olds can say.
“And I'm still going to change so much. Because I'm not the same person I was six months ago - I'm not even the same person I was two weeks ago.”
The singer also admitted that she hates being compared to other artists, strangely claiming that people have dubbed her the ‘white Nicki Minaj’.
That’s the first we heard of that comparison.
She said: “A lot of people wanted to try to make me the white Nicki Minaj.

By Chris | the bike shed – Fri, Jun 14, 2013 13:52 BSTBig Brother 2013 housemate Sallie Axl shared a brief fling with TOWIE star Tom Pearce, one of the many famous faces she claims to have romanced.
The 26-year-old alternative model was papped with the ITV2 star just two months ago in the throes of passion.
After getting to know each other at popular London club DSTRKT, the two were pictured kissing before jumping into a taxi.
You can probably work out the rest.
The following day, Sallie tweeted: "Good night in distrikt last night . Dying now though (sic)."
Tom has yet to pass comment on his former flame’s involvement in the latest series of Big Brother although we wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to distance himself.
Entering the house in side boob revealing outfit, the mum-of-one received a frosty reception from the crowd.
In her VT, Sallie boasted to have slept with over 70 women but described most of them as ‘f*** heads’ while also stating that she has slept with various celebrities and footballers in the past.
Let the name dropping commence.

Leyla Ghobadi has come clean to The Sun, saying she did sleep with the rapper, but it all happened way before he was dating Kim.
Changing her 'angle' to, "he'll never be faithful", Leyla now says the whole thing is a fabrication - probably because it was denied by both Kim and Kanye's spokespeople.[ Kim Kardashian takes to Twitter to have the biggest celeb rant EVER ]
[ Kim Kardashian's due date is getting closer - and she's just revealed the gender! ]
She told the newspaper: "I was introduced to him at the Montreal concert. We met backstage as I knew members of his band. We ended up having sex at the Thompson Hotel."
The 26-year-old claims she was then flown to Toronto for more sexy times - apparently sleeping with him three times over a period of a week.
Leyla also clarified - just in case we weren't quite aware of it yet - that their romps were way before he was dating Kim.
She added: "This was all before Kim Kardashian and he never spoke about her ... He will never be faithful to one girl and has women falling at his feet all the time."

A source told MailOnline that Kristen feels "incredibly down right now and betrayed" by the reports, especially as she was previously very close to Katy.
She and Katy snuggled up for a girly cuddle at the Kids Choice Awards in March, just as Kristen had been facing rumours of a split and Katy had just parted ways with John Mayer.
Rob has apparently completely cut Kristen off, refusing to answer her attempts to get in touch.

By Chris | the bike shed – Thu, Jun 13, 2013 09:42 BSTMiley Cyrus has denied speculation that she is dating Justin Bieber by insisting that she is still engaged to Liam Hemsworth.
Hang on, did we miss something? The last we heard Liam and Miley had split for good.
Rumours that Miley, 20, and Justin, 19, were romantically involved developed when the two were snapped enjoying a night out together in LA.
In an interview on ‘The Kane Show’ yesterday, Miley was asked if she was more than just good friends with Justin.
The singer then replied: “I’m engaged! I’m engaged. That is impossible.”
It was reported earlier this month that Miley and Liam, 23, had ended their engagement when she was overheard telling a friend ‘we’re done’.
Miley was then asked on the radio show about her thoughts on troubled actress Amanda Bynes deeming her ‘ugly’ on Twitter.
Responding, Miley said: “I won’t even entertain that thought.
“I think it’s all so sad, that I don’t want to add any fuel to that fire. Because it’s really so sad to me.
“I was rooting for her comeback until she started attacking me, and I just thought it was hilarious that she mentioned my name the moment I was the worldwide trending topic on Twitter.
“It’s just funny the moment you're a trending topic how many people want your name to come out of their mouth, so somehow they can associate and maybe they can become a trending topic.”

By Chris | the bike shed – Thu, Jun 13, 2013 08:33 BSTKanye West has quashed the recent rumours that he cheated on Kim Kardashian with model Leyla Ghobadi.
"It's a blatant attempt by a misguided individual who is clearly seeking publicity, and another in a series of malicious stories drummed up by non-credible 'news' sources."
A representative of the star has slammed reports that he had a fling with the model last year that continued after Kim announced her pregnancy.
The rep told TMZ: "This most recent attack on Kanye West and his family is totally without merit.
Well, that settles that.
The star recently spoke out about Kim’s pregnancy, admitting that he will do everything he can to protect their child from the media spot light.
He told The New York Times:"One of the things was just to be protective, that I would do anything to protect my child or my child's mother ... [But I haven't] fully developed those thoughts yet. I don't have a kid yet.
