TOWIE star Demi Sims has revealed that her relationship with Megan Barton-Hanson has come to an end, claiming that former Love Island contestant broke up with her just ONE day after the pair finished filming Celebs Go Dating.

That’s not all, as Demi has accused Megan of ‘using her’ and ‘going behind her back’ after moving on with one of Demi’s former friends.

“I was falling for her pretty hard and to be honest I feel like she completely used me. She broke up with me the day after filming finished.

“She spoke so much about loyalty and kicked off that I messaged someone openly from the show and all the time she was messaging someone behind my back,” Demi told The Sun.

Maria, on the left with Joey Essex and Chloe Sims in 2011, was in the show from the get-go but her TV career was rocked when it was alleged she'd worked as an escort. She's since said she quit 'by mutual consent' after she refused an on-screen romance with Mick Norcross.

Dan is still in the spotlight due to his relationship with ex-EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa. In May 2018 he described their marriage as "unhappy".

If Amber's social media is anything to go by, she now appears to mostly be on holiday. Pretty goals from where we're sitting.

Mike Hassini7 of 28

Mike Hassini, series 16 - 18 and 21

Mike Hassini brought a hot bod to TOWIE and...not much else. He was cut in January 2018 due to a lack of storylines as he was loved-up outside the telly show.

Mike is working as a PT, still loved-up, and still has a very hot bod. Blimey.

Jack Rigden, series 20 - 219 of 28

Jack Rigden, series 20 - 21

Jack Rigden tried hard, so hard, to make an impression on Towie but his lack of on-screen romance and agg saw him get very little camera time. He was part of the big cull of January 2018.

Jordan and Jack were brought in as friends of Megan McKenna. When she quit, they were left without any storylines.

Jordan is now dating Sofia Filipe of Ex On The Beach fame. Aww.

Ricky Rayment13 of 28

Ricky Rayment, series 4 - 14

We still think very fondly of Ricky. His rocky relationship with Jess Wright was a huge part of the show but when they finally broke up, well... Ricky left the show "by mutual agreement"with Towie bosses.

Ricky now seems to mainly go fishing.

Tom Pearce, series 5 - 1315 of 28

Tom Pearce, series 5 - 13

Remember when Tom Pearce dated Lauren Goodger following her split from Mark Wright? That was an odd time. He was quietly shown the back doorof the show in 2014.

Tom Pearce, 2018

Honestly? We're not 100% sure what Tom is actually doing these days. He used to work in the City, and his holidays certainly look pretty epic, so maybe that.

Grace Andrews17 of 28

Grace Andrews, series 11 - 12

Grace almost had a romantic relationship with Lewis Bloor (shudder) and that was the beginning and end of her time on Towie.

Grace Andrews, 201818 of 28

Grace is now involved in a semi-permanent make-up company. Those Towie stars must really hate cleanser.

Fran Parman19 of 28

Fran Parman, series 11 - 16

Fran's original romantic interest was Tom Pearce but he stepped aside to allow Diags to woo her. Bad luck. Their relationship was turbulent but apparently not turbulent enough for show producers. Diags stayed, she went.

Fran and Diags split and she now hangs out in clothing that does not look very practical.

Jasmin Walia, series 1 and 7 -1721 of 28

Jasmin Walia, series 1 and 7-17

Jasmin managed eight series until she was given the boot. In 2015 her agent stated: "TOWIE is very storyline dependent and Jasmin did not have much going on that we could show on screen."Ouch. She went on to audition for The X Factor. It did not go well. She also took part in reality show Desi Rascals, that lasted for one series.

Jasmin is still being papped, which is more than can be said for some of the other ex-Towie stars.

Harry Derbridge was a Towie original and still holds a very special place in our hearts. He made a welcome return to the show as Bobby Norris's love interest but, allegedly, cheated on him.

Harry now works it as a make-up artist. Is it us, or does he look like he might have had a little help with lip fillers?

Remember when Lauren looked like this? She was a TOWIE OG and her on / off relationship with Mark Wright, including getting engaged in a car park, was the stuff of reality TV dreams.

Lauren is still much loved by the public although her recent porn admission made some fans' jaws drop.

Pascal Cramer walked into TOWIE series ten as the new squeeze of Mario Falcone. Sadly, Mario still had the hots for his former flame Lucy Mecklenburgh. Pascal found out when she watched the episode in which Mario admitted his feelings for Lucy. AWKWARD.

Pascal recently dated king of the jungle trouser snake Nick Knowles although they split before he entered I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! We do not believe that is a real guitar.

It was previously reported that the pair split after the attention that Demi received from other girls left Megan feeling insecure, but Demi, the sister of TOWIE legend Chloe Sims has rubbished these claims.

She said: “[Megan] went behind my back and made a dog move on me. That girl isn't insecure. She knows what she is doing.

“I really liked her and she went behind my back and got with an old friend of mine. If anything that makes me insecure.”

Revealing that Megan broke her heart, Demi added: “I want people to know she was the one who was un-loyal to me. I had real feelings and she broke my heart a little.”

Megan and Demi started dating in Julyafter meeting while filming Celebs Go Dating.

Despite going on a series of dates with non-celebs, the pair only had eyes for each other and confirmed their relationship with a massive PDA at the show’s wrap party.

At the time, Megan told Closer: “I think Demi and I are really similar. We bonded because she was the first girl I could really talk to about liking girls, and she’s in the public eye too, so she gets it. We’re good friends, but we’ll see how it goes romantically.

“I’d been looking at dating like a chore, when it should be fun and exciting. So now I’m enjoying it.”

Closer Online have contacted Megan’s representatives for comment.
