James Lock
'The Only Way is Essex' star James Lock has branded Mario Falcone a "snake".
The 26-year-old reality TV star has slammed his hunky co-star - who admitted to cheating on his ex-fiancée Lucy Mecklenbugh - for the way he treats people and claims he has no morals as he continuously talks about people behind their backs.
Speaking to star magazine, he said: "I think the guy is a hypocrite, he's a snake. He'll be nice as pie to your face and then he'll backstab you.
"With Lucy, he cheated on her seven times - any decent man, if they cheat on a girl once, then maybe you can work through it. But seven times is taking the piss."
James - who took his co-star Sam Faiers out on a date following her split from Joey Essex - insists he's not interested in striking up a romance with someone from the show but would be keen to bring in some sexy new females so that he can get more air time in the next series.
He said: "I might just try and find someone new, outside of the circle. Most of this series has revolved around Joey and Sam and Mario and Lucy, there's only been a little bit of me. I had a lot planned, but it's real life - certain stories come up and the series follow them.
"Hopefully in the next series there will be more of me!"
