TOWIE fans will know that Courtney Green has appeared on the show alongside her bestie Chloe Meadows for a long time (eight years to be precise) and she’s been involved in some major storylines in that time.

As well as her close friendship with Amber Turner and fallout with Chloe Brockett, viewers have also seen her turbulent relationship - and subsequent split – with Myles Barnett play out on-screen.

The pair split in 2018 amid claims Myles had cheated on Courtney following a series of rows, which made for awkward scenes and even more bust-ups when Myles’ next girlfriend, Love Island bombshell Kady McDermott, (who he's since split from too) joined the show.

She's been dating Callum Bushby for the past five years and, although they mostly keep their relationship private, Courtney first hinted they were facing problems in a teaser for the cast's Bali trip earlier this year when she told her Girlband besties that they were 'taking a step back' from each other.

During the cast's trip, Court was seen enjoying breakfast with bed with Elma Pazar when she admitted, 'I actually am a really bad girlfriend when I'm on holiday.

'He's text me, but sometimes I forget to reply.'

Then, in emotional scenes at a sleepover with Girl Band, Courtney admitted that she was 'taking a step back' from her relationship with Callum and explained how they were spending time apart to work out whether they wanted to be together or not.

Has Callum Bushby ever appeared on TOWIE?

In 2023, the Palm Beauty founder opened up about her relationship with Callum exclusively to Closer online.

'I think one of my main reasons why I kept this relationship off of the show is because a past relationship on the show just went to sh*t," Courtney told us, and we have more than a sneaking suspicion she means the whole Myles/Kady fiasco. "It didn't go well and I just said I'm not putting myself through that again.'

'I wanted to keep this relationship off the cameras, although he has filmed once,' she admitted before explaining why we never saw it come to life.

'It didn’t get aired. He filmed once and he said to me, "Courtney, never again" and I went, "Okay, Cal", until the next time I beg him, "Just do it once!"'

Well, he certainly didn't pop on on screen for series 34 of the TOWIE Christmas special, but from the looks of Court's socials, the couple are very much still together.

At the National Television Awards, Courtney told Closer, 'We were on a rocky path and we’re finally getting to a better place, so it’s positive.'

Saying that, he hasn't appeared on her socials for a TIME.

How long have Courtney Green and Callum Bushby been dating?

Courtney and Callum first began dating in 2018. They were an item for 18 months before splitting in December 2019. It was claimed at the time that Courtney wanted to settle down, while Callum was reluctant to commit.

A source told The Sun, 'She wanted him to show commitment and move in together, but he didn't want to. He's only young and is still enjoying going out with friends with no strings attached.'

Courtney confirmed she’d rekindled her romance with Callum in September 2020 after they reconnected during lockdown when he was slashed in the face in a violent roadside attack.

At the time she told MailOnline, 'I did get back with my ex-boyfriend, something happened at the start of lockdown and we just started talking again. Me and Callum, obviously we're allowed out, we've started dating each other and seeing a lot more.

'If lockdown hadn't happened I don't know if we would have got back together. I feel like because lockdown happened we feel like we had a lot of time to chat and we didn't have any distractions.'

In April 2022, Courtney and Callum took a major step in their relationship when they moved into their first home together.
