Sam Faiers and Lucy Mecklenburgh are no strangers to confrontation having starred in one of the most dramatic reality shows on TV.

But the ex The Only Way Is Essex stars appeared to have ignited ancient angst with a new feud over Twitter.

Sam, 24, launched her own health and fitness website- Celebrity Training With Sam Faiers- at the start of the month.

The site offers workouts and diet plans to fans of the ex-Celebrity Big Brother star.

Lucy Mecklenburgh, on the other hand, has forged her own career as a fitness expert.

The 24-year-old launched fitness company Results With Lucy last year and has even brought out her own specialist book.

It appears that the former friends have now become fierce competitors, with Lucy allegedly blocking Sam on Twitter!

A friend of the stars told heatworld: “Sam’s and Lucy’s Twitter handles were both tagged in a tweet by a follower, but when Sam’s team, who run the account with Sam, went to reply, they found that Results With Lucy had actually blocked them.”

Though the pair were once both good friends, the girls’ relationship ran into difficulty when they fell out over former TOWIE star Mark Wright, who has been linked to both women.
