She continued, “Your drive, kindness, caring, loyal and loving nature is the highest I have ever seen in anyone and even though it has only been a short time, you have done nothing but make me the best version of myself so far and I just wanted to thank you.

Fran starred in The Only Way Is Essex for seven series and was known for her relationship with Diags.

The pair dated for three years before confirming their bitter split in September 2017.

Sources claimed at the time that Fran “felt lost” after the breakup and was left angry after receiving messages claiming Diags had brought girls back to the apartment she had shared with him.

Insiders revealed at the time: ‘They don’t talk at all now that they’ve split… she’s heartbroken that it’s from him and can’t stop crying.

‘She never had any idea he was ‘that’ man. They were best friends and best friends don’t do that to each other.’
