Towie’s Diags secretly dating co-star after being caught kissing show extra behind Elma Pazar’s back
TOWIE favourite James 'Diags' Bennewith is enjoying a "loved up" break with a co-star just weeks after his split with Elma Pazar, The Sun can reveal.
The ITVBe show star, 31, was last month pictured "cheating" on Elma with Jodie Wells, who he met behind the scenes of the long-running show.
We confirmed how reality TV stunner Elma, 29, was out with Diags the night he shared the sneaky passionate kiss with the TOWIE extra.
Now The Sun can exclusively reveal Jodie and Diags are taking their relationship to the next level with a romantic holiday.
A source told us: "Diags is on a cruise with Jodie right now - they're having a loved up holiday.
"Everyone's saying he moved on really fast from Elma but that's his way of getting over her - moving on and not looking back.”

Elma - who starred on Love Island in 2019 - previously exclusively told The Sun she's struggling to "relive" the failed romance as it now plays out on-screen.
Asked how she's feeling now about her co-star, Elma said: "I think for me, it's the whole reliving it thing.
"I had kind of dealt with that, closed that book.
"I've closed that situation and just moved on from it, but it's the whole reliving it now it's on TV, constantly seeing things with people, send you things online."

Despite Diags also kissing Jodie at the Towie finale party, Elma says they ended on "mutual terms".
Asked if she thinks they can maintain their friendship, she added: "Yeah."
Diags broke his silence after the snog in an unrelated post on Instagram.
After entering the Love Island villa alongside Maura Higgins in series 5 of the ITV2 show, Elma coupled up with Anton Danyluk.
Soon after they were voted one of the least incompatible couples alongside Joe Garratt and Lucie Donlan and were kicked out of the villa.
She joined Towie in 2022 and has become firm friends with her co-star Chloe Brockett.
A rep for Diags has been contacted for comment.
