When we think of TOWIE staples we think of Sugar Hut, Nanny Pat (RIP)'s Sausage Plait, Amy Childs, The GC, Lauren Goodger and OF COURSE, Harry Derbidge.
If you've been watching the show since its glory days then you'll have watched this ray of sunshine grow up on-screen and what a breath of fresh air he has become – he somehow manages to bring the drama and keep it wholesome every season. It's an art form.
Saying that, this series, Harry is definitely not steering clear of the drama. In the first episode he declared that he had joined Amber Turner's girl band and even told her about Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar's Bali fun in the sun (and in the pool at night time). It was giving Randall from Recess, and if you get that reference then, heya, how are your 30s going?
It also seems that there is trouble in paradise for Harry and boyfriend Joe Blackman this series – which we're not exactly surprised by, after all, producers didn't invite Joe to Bali, but did invite Diags' girlfriend, Jodie. Savage.

Harry and TOWIE co-star Bobby Norris got together way back in 2013 and dramatically split after Bobby found rumours that Harry had cheated on him with his ex early on in their relationship. Fast forward to 2021 and Harry and Bobby's failed relationship was still a talking point, as Amy Childs cousin returned to TOWIE and claimed that he never cheated on Bobby. It was all a HUGE drama and Bobby even had to take time out from the show to get away from it all.
