Casey Batchelor replaces TOWIE lad as ITV2 star's red carpet date as he gatecrashes his ex-girlfriend's first night out as a single lady

SPARE a thought for Danielle Armstrong.
Hours after confirming she'd ditched her cheating boyfriend James Lock once and for all, the pair attended the same red carpet event.

Yesterday, the TOWIE beauty took to Twitter to share the news she's a single lady once again with her 203k followers.
"Looking forward for tonight's film premiere Plastic and a girls' night out after with @CaseyBatchelor @jasminwalia #SingleLadies," she wrote.
However, being a superstar television personality, life isn't that simple.
Gemma Collins' frenemy found her girls' night out being gatecrashed by her ex-beau who she awkwardly bumped into at the world premiere of new film Plastic.
Casey Batchelor replaced James as Danielle's red carpet date and despite the messy break-up, the newly-single girl seemed in high spirits.

As did James who recruited gym buddy Dan Osborne to act as his wing man for the evening.
Sallie Axl's rumoured one-time fling is yet to acknowledge Danielle's relationship status announcement and played it cool posing next to the hunky dad in London's West End.
Meanwhile his ex-girlfriend is making the most of being a free agent and it looks like her and Casey had a reet ball.

The pair swapped their standard getaway vehicle and jumped in a lit-up rickshaw on Oxford Street as they called it a night.
"Girls on tour lol @Daniarmstrong88," Sam Faiers' former housemate wrote alongside a snap of the terrible twosome.
We have to admit we've definitely done this.
