Over the years, we've seen some spectacular falling outs and on-screen fights between A LOT of reality stars, but some of the most memorable involve the ladies of Essex.
The ongoing drama between Chloe Brockett and Ella Rae Wise, who both joined the show in 2019, is definitely up there with the most eventful, long-winded and spiteful reality TV fall-outs.
Ella has seemingly addressed speculation that is growing around her after she was reportedly involved in a nightclub 'brawl' with Chloe.
According to reports, Chloe threw an ice bucket at Ella's head but missed and hit another woman instead.
Both girls have yet to speak publicly about the altercation, but Ella recently broke her silence during a Q&A on her Instagram Story.
When asked by one of her followers, "How do you handle arguments so well?" She responded, "Just ignore them, the best thing is silence.
"Their problem is with themselves and not you. Says more about them if they can't leave you alone after you are staying silent."

While she doesn't name drop Chloe here or explicitly reference their altercation, it seems likely that this may be what she was referring to in this response.
Chloe also recently broke her silence in regards to the "brawl" in a TikTok she posted, where she referenced "being the drama."
The TikTok showed Chloe miming the sound "Is it me? Am I the drama, I don't think so. Maybe I am" - which could be a reference to the stories surrounding her.
Earlier this month, Ella and Chloe were both at the W London Hotel in central London in when a fight broke out.
According to The Sun, Chloe was with a group of her friends, including former co-star Kelsey Stratford and Ella was partying with TOWIE stars Dani Imbert and Roman Hackett.
A video shows the bleeding woman being held back by other guests including TOWIE co-stars Roman and Rem Larue.
A witness who was on a night out at the Soho venue with friends told the publication, "Chloe and Ella were rowing and it turned nasty.
"We saw Chloe throw an ice bucket at Ella but it missed and hit another woman. She was seriously bleeding.
"Security were holding and restraining Chloe to the floor during the commotion while she kicked her legs to try and get them off of her.
"It was a truly awful display and completely unprovoked."
Chloe recently alluded to the incident on her Instagram story as part of a Q&A. When asked, "How are you? Like in yourself/headspace xx" Chloe responded, "I'm really good... I was struggling a few weeks ago but I feel good atm, positive and lots of exciting things coming up."

While she didn't refer specifically to the altercation, it is likely she was referring to it due to when it happened and the subsequent backlash that followed it.
When asked as part of the same Q&A, "are you going to be on any more tv shows?" Chloe responded, "of course! Watch this space."

While she didn't refer to TOWIE specifically, from this response it seems likely she with be remaining on TOWIE in spite of the incident.
Will Chloe Brockett still be on TOWIE?
After the incident, there were reports that Chloe was called in by TOWIE bosses to explain her actions, ahead of filming for the new series that will commence in June.
There have also been reports that even if Chloe does return, some of the cast are reluctant to film with her.
A source told the publication, "The general feeling amongst the cast is that Chloe's actions were unacceptable.
"Nobody wants the show to get a reputation like that and some stars have told bosses they won't film with Chloe when shooting resumes."
The TV insider added, "There have been threats of walks outs over the issue so producers know they're serious.
Ella Rae Wise is also set for a permanent return after being part of the now infamous TOWIE cull in 2021, so that could make things even more tricky.
Over the years, many of the TOWIE cast have got into scuffles and trouble outside of the show but then returned.
Jon Clark was suspended from TOWIE in 2018 after slapping co-star James 'Diags' Bennewith during a night out in Newcastle. Shortly after Dean Ralph was also suspended from the show following a 'serious incident'.
So why did Chloe Brockett and Ella Rae Wise fall out?
Back in 2019, Ella, Chloe and Kelsey joined TOWIE as a trio of friends, but it all soon turned sour when Ella accuses Chloe of spending all of her time with Kelsey, resulting in an argument in a club.
They soon made up, only to fall out again when Chloe got annoyed when Kelsey and Ella gave her some harsh advice when it came to her ex Harry Lee. They definitely didn't make up after that and have constantly been making digs at each other ever since. Over the years, they have both admitted that they don't get on because they are both 'very fiery'.
However, things have got worse recently as Ella had a huge fall out with Kelsey, who has since grown close to her childhood friend Chloe again. Honestly, we struggle to keep up.

Slide 2 of 18
Amy gives Sam a vajazzle
There's no better place to start than the birth of the 'vajazzle', a crystal encrusted pattern that can be applied to a woman's nether regions to make their bits looks fancy and elegant. Beaut babe. After Amy Childs and Sam Faiers filmed this scene and it had aired, this was the only thing the nation was talking about, with salons across the country starting to offer the beauty treatment so fans of the show could replicate their idols and be a true Essex women.
Kirk calls Maria an extra
Cast your minds back to when Kirk Norcross and Lauren Pope were a thing (dig deep guys) and Kirk fell out with Lauren's friend Maria Fowler. Obviously, the pair were fighting over literally nothing, but that didn't stop them, as they came head to head in a bar and Kirk ended up calling Maria an "extra". Savage. Things then soured further as Maria started to date Kirk's DAD Mick Norcross, joking that she was Kirk's step-mum.
Arg buys Lydia a pig
When James 'Arg' Argent and Lydia Bright joined series 2 of the reality show, they instantly became fan favourites, with their romantic love story wooing the nation. So when Arg bought Lydia a micro pig named Mr Darcy to declare his love for her, they both made us think, 'Would our partner do that for us?'. However, it turned out Mr Darcy wasn't a micro pig and was in fact a normal pig, outgrowing Lydia's back garden and having to be sent to a farm to live.
Lauren and Mark get engaged
How could we forget the first ever engagement of TOWIE, with Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger looking loved up and ready to take on the world. They'd been together nearly ten years before they joined the show and their love seemed to blossom as Mark popped the question, confirming his love for the Essex beauty. There was just one thing, they got engaged in a car park. Classy.
Sam declares her love for Mark
But there was drama just around the corner, as Sam decided she was in love with the hunk and admitted it to his face, making him question whether he wanted to be engaged to Lauren anymore.
Lauren pushes Mark into a swimming pool
Literally, the most iconic moment. Having been questioning his relationship and engagement to Lauren, Mark was having doubts, as was Lauren, after rumours of cheating began to surface and cracks started to show. As Mark headed to a pool party with the rest of the cast, leaving Lauren at home, she was having none of it and decided to unexpectedly turn up. Mark was so surprised and Lauren kicked off, following Mark's comments that she should go back home. She ended up pushing him in the pool and the pair split.
Lucy and Mario get engaged
TOWIE has seen many of these but Lucy Mecklenburgh and Mario Falcone's engagement was the most romantic, extra TOWIE scene to air. Away on holiday, sunbathing on a yacht, Mario pulls out a whopper of a diamond and asks Lucy to be his wife. Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, it seemed like the pair were finally settled....
Lucy swilling Mario with red wine at a white party
Cue the drama. Lucy and Mario's relationship becomes plagued with cheating rumours, breaks down and they eventually call it quits. Will there ever be a happy ever after on this show? Probably not.
Harry's 18th birthday party
A favourite party moment of ours was when Harry Derbridge hosted a fancy dress themed party for his 18th, with many of the cast member going over the top (of course). Harry turned up as Lady Gaga, wowing his attendees but let's not forget the late Nanny Pat who turned up as the actual Queen. Icon.
Gemma telling Arg, "You ain't ever gong to get this candy
After Arg and Lydia broke up then got back together then broke up then got back together then finally ended their relationship, Arg moved on with Gemma Collins, otherwise known as the GC. Yet again, it looked like the pair were made for each other but things soon spiralled out of control and the relationship catastrophically ended, with Gemma turning up in front of everyone at a pool party, whacking off her caftan and shouting "You ain't ever going to get this candy". James just stood in the middle of the pool, mouth opened, shocked. We still haven't recovered.
Sam and Joey have their first date
Sam and Joey Essex were an unlikely match on TOWIE, seen as though Joey was a few years younger than Sam. However, the pair seemed to get on like a house on fire and decided to see whether their friendship would work as a relationship and Joey took Sam on their first date. But he took her to a dump. His reasoning was that it would be "different" and "cool", but it ended up being stinky and gut wrenching instead.
Gemma leaving Mick a pie, and him pieing her off
Kirk's dad Mick was a catch back in the day, owning the legendary club Sugar Hut, where all the cast members would party on and off screen. One cast member who wanted a bit of Mick was Gemma, who lovingly made him a pie and left it on his doorstep to win his affections. However, it didn't seem to work as Mick said he didn't like Gemma in that way and pied her off with her pie. Ouch.
When Gemma held an exorcism
Gemma is known for her "GC" persona - the larger than life, savage and diva princess. But in one episode, Gemma decided enough was enough and wanted to show the real her. Therefore, the took the logical conclusion to having an exorcism to get "the GC" persona out of her body. You cannot write this stuff.
Joey and Ricky fight in a shop
After Ricky Rayment joined the show, there wasn't an instant connection between him and Joey, after the pair were talking about each other behind each others backs. It all came to a head at the re-opening of Lauren Goodger's beauty salon, with the pair scrapping inside and outside the shop, knocking products over as they fought onto the high street. The fight was seen as so bad, Essex Police were called to stop the pair from fighting. They later apologised to each other and made up.
Gemma and Ferne's diva fight
The fight of all fights. In a quiet, suburban town sit three women as they watch Gemma and Ferne McCann have a war with words over who has "earned their divaship". Nothing else needs to be said, except from TV gold.
Bobby and Harry's thong schlongs
When Bobby Norris joined TOWIE, he brought all the sass that the show needed. However, he also showed a lot of ass when he, and boyfriend at the time Harry, decided to wear a unique form of swimwear, which we're fondly calling 'Shlong Thong'. It really covered nothing and sent viewers at home wild, leading to some viewers putting in formal complaints.
Megan kicks off at Pete
After Megan McKenna's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, TOWIE bosses were quick to sign up the TV babe, and it just so happened she'd started dating Pete Wicks, which meant she had the perfect storyline when joining the show. Their love seemed to blossom, with the pair becoming 'Head Couple' on the show for nearly two years. However, the cracks soon started to show after it was revealed Pete had been sexting other girls, leaving Megan extremely angry. This led to her epic outburst on the beach in Marbella, blowing her other TV tantrums out of the water. "Go be single!" she screamed. We can still hear it echoing around the world now.

What happened with Ella Rae Wise and Kelsey Stratford?
After all the drama between Chloe, Kelsey and Ella in their first season, Kelsey stuck by Ella's side and they became a little bit of a double act, until they fell out, of course.

In 2021, Kelsey accused Ella of getting off with a guy she fancied, which led to a breakdown of their friendship. Following this Kelsey only went and became friends with Chloe again, causing further drama between the two.

What happened with Kelsey Stratford and Chloe Brockett?
Kelsey and Chloe have known each other since childhood, and recently reunited after falling out after Chloe had a fling with Ella's ex-boyfriend.
Since neither Kelsey OR Chloe speak to Ella, it's no surprise that Ella has found herself forming friendships with some of Chloe's current 'enemies', including Dani Imbert and Yazmin Oukhellou.
