Does anyone really know what's going on in the love lives of the TOWIE cast?
Judging by the most recent episode, Dan Edgar is still very much loved up with Ella Rae Wise, however, Ella's social media posts are giving us a rather different impression.
As for Dan's ex, Amber Turner, we can't work out whether it's all very much ON with her secret Dubai lover or it's no longer a vibe.
What we will say is that Amber sure does have her priorities right when it comes to picking a 'back up plan' and we're not just talking about with fellas.
Allow us to explain.
Amber is currently enjoying a girls holiday with her fellow Girl Band members, Courtney Green and Elma Pazar and between smashing plates, eating copious amounts of tapas and wearing fancy AF outfits, the TOWIE girlies still managed to find time in their busy lifestyle for a little bit of junk food.
While we sit and ponder if Amber has brought her friends to Dubai to meet her new man, they're busy grabbing a last minute snack at Maccy D's and we love a relatable queen.
Taking to Instagram, Amber posted a pic of her and Courtney opting for a 'back up plan 🤣🤣' and all we know is that it features a drive-thru, a burger and proof that they're just like us.
The next story featured the BFF's enjoying the burgers in their car and Amber questioning all of Courtney's food choices.
"Pre opa snackkk 🍔.
"Also Courtney likes to put chips in her Burger?! Strange gal"
Okay, but now we're craving a burger with fries and extra pickles, obv.
At least we know Amber is enjoying time with her mates and a McDonald's if nothing else, the TOWIE star has been through the wringer in the most recent season, it's never fun seeing an ex move on, imagine having to work with them both. Could never be us.
As Amber opts for a burger that does NOT have chips shoved into it she is remaining tight-lipped about whether or not she has a new love in her life.
It was previously revealed that “Amber had been seeing a guy who was based out in Dubai in recent months, but she recently called it a day with him.”
They told The Sun, “She realised it was a rebound after her break-up with Dan, and she didn't see a future in the new relationship, so she quietly ended things before she went to Bali to film TOWIE."
However, the Queen B of Essex recently posted a pic on her Instagram grid which left fans wondering if it's all back on with the mystery man.
The first hint came when Amber shared a series of holiday snaps with the caption, “Would be smiling more if I was in the centre of the pic…the camera man could do with a few pointers."
As if that wasn’t enough, Amber’s love rival, Ella, who was also in Dubai, appeared to confirm Amber was back with her boyfriend in a now-deleted Instagram comment.
When Ella uploaded a picture of herself on a boat with the caption, “Meet me on the water,” one of her followers replied, “You out there looking for Amber?”
Ella replied, “Amber's come to Dubai to meet her fella. I’ve seen them, babe."
Another of Ella’s followers told her, “Amber doesn't talk about her relationship, neither should you,” to which Ella fired back, “Course she don’t, babe, because she wanted everyone to pity her."
The love affair between Dan and Ella has been a key storyline on series 33 of TOWIE with everyone from Chloe Meadows to Diags throwing in their thoughts on the romance.
In an interview with Closer, Dan lifted the lid on Amber's latest relationship and how their break up affected the cast dynamic.
"Time has moved on," he told us. "Everything with Amber is getting onto be nearly a year now.
"Obviously, Amber has moved on in Dubai doing what she is doing. It is as simple as that really. We don’t have any need to speak any more. We don’t speak about anything."
Well that not ENTIRELY true as they have definitely been sharing the odd FaceTime call and have been chatting about Oliver but anyway...
"The group dynamics have changed a bit. Diags is no longer going to be around Elma and I’m no longer going to be around Amber so we are divided very differently.
"Me and Diags like to enjoy ourselves and have a laugh - no matter what the dynamics are, we never get too heavily involved in the drama...we keep it light-hearted and enjoy it a bit. We’ve been going out with Dani, Ella, Roman and Jordan."
Who is Amber Turner dating?
Amber is thought to be dating a mystery man in Dubai, but she's keeping his identity very close to her chest.
What happened between Amber Turner and Chris Oliver?
Amber was previously linked to her Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins co-star, instructor Chris Oliver, amid reports they’d exchanged flirty texts behind his long-term girlfriend’s back.
It was claimed that Jasmine Shergold confronted Amber after spotting messages from her on Chris’ phone.
An insider revealed, “Chris and Amber had been DM-ing each other and Jasmine found them. The messages were very chatty and conversational but some appeared to be a bit flirty...”
“Chris had sent the odd picture too and talked about going out in London with Amber. For Jasmine, it came as a shock,” they told The Sun.
“She was understandably angry and wanted to know just what was happening. Chris had asked for Amber's phone number so Jasmine rang her and they spoke.”
The insider went on to say that although Amber and Chris hadn’t done anything other than exchange messages, she wasn’t aware he had a girlfriend and was “mortified” when she found out.
