Gutted Jessie flees the country

After a crazy week which saw her 'fairytale' relationship blown apart by the revelation that her husband-to-be had sent raunchy images to an ex-girlfriend, Jessie Wallace hopped on an EasyJet flight and fled the country.

Jessie had been left devastated when she found out that her fiancé Vince Morse had sent a topless picture of the star to an ex in the hope that she would then want a threesome with the soon to be wed couple.

Jessie found out when the picture was leaked to a newspaper and called off her wedding just hours before the actual ceremony.

Vince has since spoken out about the incident in a bid to explain what was going through his mind when he sent the picture.

He said, "I had this fantasy and I was really drunk. Me and Jessie had a silly row like many couples do. I was angry and tried to make my fantasy a reality by sending that picture. I was showing off and when you're drunk you do all sorts of stupid things."

He continued, "It looks like it's destroyed the love of my life. It was probably the most stupid thing I've ever done. I'm an idiot. My sordid sex fantasies have ruined my life."

Jessie has not said much since it all came out but yesterday she took off on the couple's paid for honeymoon to Crete in order to have some thinking space.

Is it just us or does this sound very much like an EastEnders storyline?
