"He's been saying that their relationship has been in such a bad place that bedroom activity has been non-existent."
Because of their 'non-existent' sex life, Ricky turned his attention to other women, with the source adding: "Ricky felt that he had changed a lot to be with Jess.
"He had told his mates that the reason he was texting the other girl was because he was horny and they weren't having sex. He also thinks Jess is boring."
After initially denying texting other girls on Wednesday night's episode of The Only Way Is Essex, Ricky finally came clean to Jess, admitting: "I haven't been in a good place with you, so I have been flirting with other girls."
Following the confrontation with Jess, in which she told him they are over for good, Ricky has had to leave Twitter after allegedly receiving death threats.
