Caroline Flack hit boyfriend Lewis with a phone and accused him of cheating after she found messages from a 60-year-old woman, a source has claimed.
Flack, 40, was arrested for assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton, 27, at their north London home during the early hours of Thursday morning.
A source claimed yesterday that the row was fuelled by a misunderstanding over messages from a woman in Lewis's tennis coaching class, according to The Sun.
'Caroline accused him of sleeping around and found messages on his mobile phone which made her angry and upset,' the source told The Sun.
Mr Burton shared a pictured of him with his girlfriend on Instagram next to a love heart yesterday morning

'They were from one of his tennis clients, a 60-year-old woman, which she misconstrued. Caroline got paranoid.'
The source said the message caused Flack to overthink and she was 'convinced' Lewis was flirting with another woman.
They added that a mobile phone hit Lewis during the row and glass was broken on the floor causing minor injuries to the couple.
Police were seen outside the Love Island presenter's, 40, Islington residence, where she lives with her partner, after reports emerged that a man had been attacked.
It comes after photographs showing Flack's blood spattered front door emerged yesterday.
Boyfriend Lewis was spotted for the first time since the assault arriving at his house in Sidcup this afternoon wearing a tracksuit, and left minutes later in a change of clothes and cap. He told waiting photographers: 'I have nothing to say.'
Earlier the 6ft 4in tennis player was seen leaving his home behind the wheel of his Range Rover after sharing a picture of himself with Flack on Instagram next to a love heart. His 40-year-old girlfriend is yet to be seen.
Flack is said to have needed hospital treatment after cutting her hand on broken glass after the alleged fight.
It was reported that Mr Burton shouted 'I was normal till I met her' as she was arrested by police. However, a friend today confirmed exclusively to MailOnline that he would not be pressing charges.
The friend said: 'Lewis is very upset and embarrassed about how this situation has blown up. It was a tiff between a couple that love each other and should never have ended up in the public domain.

A member of the public who runs a business near Flack's London property said CCTV had shown a number of police vehicles and 'blue flashing lights' in the early hours of Thursday.

Caroline and her tennis player and model boyfriend Lewis have been in a relationship since July.
Their relationship seemed to be on the rocks when they in a furious argument during their Spanish holiday in October.

Caroline was pictured engaging in a tense discussion with Lewis as they sat on board a luxury vessel while out at sea with a group of their friends in Ibiza.
In August, a source told The Sun the couple that Caroline and Lewis had 'really hit it off' after being 'introduced through mutual friends.'
Lewis is currently signed to Select Model Management following his stint as a professional tennis player.
The hunk began playing the sport at the tender age of seven, and reached a career high when he played the final of the boys' doubles with George Morgan at Wimbledon in 2010.
Lewis played his last game in professional tennis with Marcus Willis at the Great Britain F2 in Sunderland back in January 2015.
Earlier this year, Caroline embarked on a short-lived romance with rugby player Danny Cipriani, 31, before their relationship fizzled out in May. She was previously engaged to Apprentice star Andrew Brady for just under a year back in 2018.
She previously romanced stars such as former X Factor co-star Olly Murs, 35, musician Harry Styles, 25, and music manager Jack Street, 31.
Last month, Caroline was forced to shut down rumours that she and Lewis were engaged to one another, with her rep saying it's '100% not true.'
While celebrating her 40th birthday that month, she addressed the milestone birthday in an Instagram Story, admitting she was 'utterly grateful' for everything.
Andrew Brady, 29, recently covered a tattoo of Caroline Flack's initials which he had on his wrist to mark a year since the pair's relationship ended

She wrote: 'Jesus… Last day of my 30s …. and what a ride it's been so far,' she wrote. 'Feeling so utterly grateful for EVERYTHING in my life right now.'
The news comes just weeks after Caroline's ex Andrew Brady branded their relationship toxic.
He went on Instagram to reveal he had covered a tattoo of her initials which he had on his wrist to mark a year since the pair's relationship ended.
The former Apprentice star, 29, took to Instagram as he visited Bondi Ink to have the 'CF' covered with the shape of Australia.
Andrew was engaged to Caroline, 40, last year but since they split - which he said 'probably saved his life' - he has relocated to Sydney.
In a series of stories Andrew smiled as he prepared to go under the needle and wrote a message to explain why he decided to get some new ink.
He wrote: 'It's exactly a year tomorrow since I left a very toxic relationship and got away.
'Leaving probably saved my life. I mark it one year on by doing something I should have done a while ago'
After having his new tattoo Andrew shared another video where he thanks Bondi Ink for 'covering up this absolute monstrosity.'
He continued: 'So moral of the story is don't get your partner's initials tattooed on you because when it all goes t**s up you're gonna have to get it covered up.'
No doubt Caroline's TV career could all be at risk. The personality, who has a net worth of £5.6million is due to host Love Island's debut winter edition which starts in January.
She was also the host of Channel 4's The Surjury which was slated to be aired in early 2020.
