A partygoer at the time told the Daily Star: ‘He was a total joke. He tried to latch onto Sam and Gemma and they turned him down flat. He was quite brazen about it and no one was in any doubt what he was after.’

A source said: ‘Jesy and Lucien met up on a night out after two friendship groups came together and took a rickshaw to the club but left separately.
