Joey Essex and Sam Faiers have reportedly split-up again.

The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' stars are said to have split following a string of arguments while on holiday in Marbella to celebrate Sam's sister Billie's engagement this week.

The pair - who got engaged in March 2013 and then split three months later before reconciling again earlier this year - are reported to have "constantly bickered" during the trip leaving Joey, 24, with no choice but to call time on their tumultuous relationship.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Joey and Sam have been on the rocks for a while. They are constantly bickering and falling out. It's not been pretty.

"But the last straw was in Marbella. The atmosphere between them wasn't healthy enough - he just had to get away."

The reality TV star is now said to be struggling to come to terms with the couple's latest break-up.

The source added: "He always thought Sam was the one. It'll take some time for him to get over her."

Meanwhile, Joey landed back in the UK on Tuesday (09.09.14) without Sam, 23, and joked about the chilly flight home.

He tweeted: "Most uncomfortable flight and coldest I have ever flew. Don't wear shorts and flip flops! Back home in bed! :) x (sic)".
