Dane Bowers reveals he's had to take refuge in his car in Dubai as ex TOWIE ... trends now
Dane Bowers revealed he had to take refuge in his car in Dubai after the country fell victim to the heaviest rain ever recorded in the desert nation.
More than 140 mm of rain soaked Dubai on Tuesday, almost as much as what falls there in a year-and-a-half and a host of other stars shared pictures from the flood.
Dane, 44, shared that the power had been cut in his apartment as a result so he sat in his car so they could watch television while using a power converter.
His ex, Laura Anderson shared well-wishes to those in Dubai, writing on Instagram on Tuesday: 'Hope everyone in Dubai is ok. No more cloud seeding for a while.'
Laura, 34, and Dane dated on-and-off for five years from 2017 and lived together in Dubai, where he currently resides.

Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification that the typically dry Dubai often uses to increase its rainfall.
On his Story, Dane showed his followers how rain entirely submerged the ground around his apartment in just half an hour.
He said: 'So it looks like I'm not the only one being clever. I'm coming and sitting in my car because I've got no power at mine.
'But I am quite lucky because I have got a power converter, so I am going to plug my laptop in and try and watch some TV if I get any reception because for some reason my phone is playing up.
TOWIE cast members Joey Essex and James 'Arg' Argent are also in Dubai at the moment and shared their own astonishing pictures from the flood.
Joey filmed himself wading through the streets of Dubai barefoot, saying: 'Nah. Nah, this ain't even funny, mate. Dubai! What the f***?'
He also told his 1.8 million followers that he and Arg had been attempting to hitchhike for hours with no success.
Joey held his white trainers in one hand as he showed as much of the gushing water that surrounded him as he could.
