According to reports, James got together with My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Danielle Mason last week.
A source told a UK newspaper: “Danielle [Mason] found James charming and after a couple of drinks he became very flirtatious.”
Apparently, Danielle was after James’ TOWIE co-star Elliott Wright originally but settled for Lockie when he told her he was single.
The source added: “When James told Danielle he was single, she didn’t see the harm in having some fun. She had no idea he had a girlfriend otherwise she would never have gone there.
“It wasn’t until she saw an online story showing James out with the other Danielle that she knew he had been telling her fibs.”
James and Dani Armstrong’s relationship dominated the last series of The Only Way Is Essex, after he admitted to cheating on her in the early stages of their relationship.
Recently James’ future on the show has been up in the air after he was arrested for possession of illegal drugs. A TOWIE source told the paper that he could be dropped if he is found guilty.
“The producers are yet to make a decision but it’s not looking good,” the show insider said. “James’ court case is shortly after they return from filming and the verdict could cause problems for them.”
Both James and Danielle are yet to comment on the allegations.
