James Lock and Yazmin Oukhellou have split ‘for good’ following a series of furious rows and are now living apart in Dubai.
The TOWIE couple have mutually agreed to cut ties after their relationship turned toxic, with James, 34, planning to fly home while Yazmin, 26, stays in the UAE.
A source revealed to MailOnline that James and Yazmin are currently living in the same Dubai hotel but in separate rooms after frustrations in their romance reached a climatic point last week.

An insider said: ‘James and Yazmin haven’t been in a good place for a while now and living together in Dubai only put further strain on their relationship.
‘Arguments between them have intensified and turned nasty, resulting in the couple deciding between them to go their separate ways – and this time, for good.
‘James plans to return to the UK for TOWIE filming but Yazmin has work in Dubai so is staying put.’
A spokeswoman for Yazmin said: ‘I can confirm James and Yazmin have split up.
‘It’s an amicable split and both of them are certain that it’s time to move on with no animosity.’
The Essex couple has experienced a tempestuous relationship, splitting up and reconciling on a number of occasions after they first started dating in 2017.

They split in 2019 after Yazmin accused James of betraying her by partying with a group of women in a hotel room in Turkey, where the couple were on holiday together.
A year after their bitter breakup they got back together, confirming their romance by kissing on a beach in Mallorca.
Yazmin eventually took James back after the pair failed to keep their distance from each other amid filming for TOWIE and sharing the same group of friends.
Last year, Yazmin said: ‘I feel like the things that went wrong in the relationship before, we now know to put right this time. I look at that as a test run – and now this is the real run.’
They are currently in Dubai despite the UAE being added to the UK’s ‘red list’ of countries, with many influencers and reality stars flying home the last fortnight.
Last week it was announced that beach clubs, hotels and shopping malls are limited to 70 per cent capacity while bars and pubs have been temporarily shut down.
Mandatory hotel quarantine stays are also being implemented by the government from February 15 for those returning from the UAE to the UK.
Yazmin insisted she and James have been in Dubai for ‘work purposes.’
She said in late December: ‘Just so those of you know, me and James have come to Dubai because I am launching something very exciting here in the New Year, so I’ve had to come now to get everything set up and we will be keeping you posted.’
