TOWIE favourite James ‘Diags’ Bennewith has dropped a big hint he’s ready to propose to stunning girlfriend Jodie Wells.
The reality star went official with Jodie before Christmas following her appearance as an extra on the ITVBe programme.
They’ve grown increasingly close since and often look loved-up on social media and in pics from the Towie set.
Now, in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Diags believes Jodie is the love of his life.
“I do actually think I’ve found The One,” he said. “You can never be 100 percent in anything, you’re wary of certain aspects and certain things, but so far there hasn’t been a foot wrong.
“With her, I feel loved, really loved, she really cares about me. It’s like an energy that you feel. Before when I’ve been in relationships there can be a bit of back and forth and bitterness, there’s never anything like that with her. It makes you feel good.
“It’s going the right way! She always says to me she’d get married tomorrow. I’m a little bit more of a slow burner in that sense. You don’t want to rush it. You want to do it properly. But as far as I’m concerned I don’t see it going any other way.”
Slowly but surely, Jodie has won around fans of the show. She had a tough time at the start of their relationship, with some accusing her of using Diags to boost her own fame.
The beautician was bombarded with nasty messages beneath a photo she shared on social media that saw her sitting beside Towie’s Roman Hackett.
The innocent pic saw the pair smiling on a night out, and she captioned it: “Brother.”
Diags also showed his approval and commented beneath the post: “My family” alongside a red heart emoji.
Despite his remark Jodie and Roman found themselves on the receiving end of hateful messages.
“She loves herself,” one fan snapped.
Another sniped: “Think she’s only on the programme for fame. Hope Diags doesn’t get hurt.”
Their romance followed Diags’ short-lived romance with Elma Pazar who he split from early last year.
The former couple did enjoy a whirlwind fling just as Diags was getting to know Jodie, which led to accusations of cheating.
However, a source told us at the time: ” “It’s not technically cheating because Diags and Jodie aren’t officially boyfriend and girlfriend, but she won’t be pleased to find out Diags and Elma have had some secret kisses after a few drinks.
“It’s hard because there are still a lot of feelings involved – Diags is torn. But this is Towie – the truth always comes out in the end.”
