Just last week, Joshua’s ex Charlotte Crosby reportedly flouted lockdown rules again by visiting her parents’ house during her 30th birthday party.
The reality star, her mother Letitia and her father Gary, all shared images from the family celebrations over the weekend, just days after she moved in with her new boyfriend Liam Beaumont.
According to The Sun, sources claimed the media personality began the lockdown period with her mum, before setting up home with her beau.

A representative told MailOnline: ‘Charlotte has acted strictly within the parameters of the rules surrounding lockdown.’
The former Geordie Shore star uploaded a snap of her pink-themed decorations from Letitia’s sleek kitchen, while her dad posted a sweet family photo of the trio.
Charlotte’s social media activity came after her partner Liam shared a snap from his garden on 24 April messing about with a camera.
The following day, the Newcastle native also posted a picture from her own garden, which seemed eerily similar to her new beau’s.

In an address to the nation earlier this month, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Brits can visit a grandparent, a girlfriend or a boyfriend from outside their household if they sit two metres apart and remain outdoors.
The social distancing rule states people, excluding those who live together, should stay 2m (6ft 6in) apart from other people in a bid to tackle the deadly virus.
The nation has had to avoid meeting up with loved ones since March 16, a week before the full lockdown came in on March 23.
Last month Charlotte was forced to hit back at claims that she physically attacked her ex Joshua during their relationship.
The former lovebirds took their disagreement to Instagram, after Charlotte shared a cryptic post, accusing her ex of ‘taking money’ from her.
To which Love Island star Joshua quickly claimed he was the target of Charlotte’s message, before going on to level shocking allegations of domestic violence at her – accusations which she denied in an emotional video.

She told her 7.2 million followers: ‘I’m really upset it has come to this but I am not being accused of things that are not true.
‘I have sat here now thinking of how to respond but actually I realise if you do argue with clowns you only join the circus yourself. I’m not going to drag anyone through the trash or try and expose anyone.’
The furious exchange of words between the pair kicked off after Charlotte claimed that she was paying off somebody else’s ‘debt’, and that she had paid for Josh on numerous occasions throughout their relationship.
However, Josh put out his own video insisting that the money was a bond on a house they’d been sharing, saying that the share she was owed was £350.
