While the new series of TOWIE is one of the most dramatic ones yet, we can't help but think of old school TOWIE.
You know, the Lauren Goodger pushing Mark Wright into a pool days? The Jess Wright and Ricky Rayment explosive row days? The Megan McKenna, Jake Hall and Chloe Lewis love triangle days?
Oh what a time it was.
Speaking of Chloe, it's been six years since we last saw her on TV so we've had a deep dive into all her TOWIE drama and what she's doing now.
Who is Chloe Lewis?
Chloe is a reality star and social media influencer who rose to fame on TOWIE in 2015. She only starred on the reality show for three years but quickly became a fan favourite and still has a huge following to this day, with over a million followers on Instagram.
What happened with Chloe Lewis and Jake Hall?
During her TOWIE days, Chloe dated bad boy Jake on and off for six years. Viewers saw their relationship go through highs and lows, with Jake facing allegations that he’d betrayed Chloe with co-stars Lauren Pope and Megan McKenna, something he strongly denied at the time.
In 2016, he finally admitted to being unfaithful, although he didn’t say who with, and the pair split up on camera. They cut all ties and haven’t spoken since, with Jake going on to have a daughter with Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Misse Beqiri.
Are Chloe Lewis and Megan McKenna friends?
Despite all the rumours surrounding Megan and Jake and their infamous row on the boat that included Megan throwing shade at Lydia Bright's f--king fringe, the TOWIE girls seem to be on good terms.
Megan and Chloe both follow each other on Instagram, the same can't be said for Jake.
Why did Chloe Lewis leave TOWIE?
Chloe took a step back from the spotlight following her son Beau’s birth in 2019 after suffering from anxiety, and she seems happier than ever. Chloe previously told Closer magazine, "Life now is so much more calm. My life is drama-free, and it’s amazing.
"My anxiety during my time on TOWIE was pretty bad – I used to cry on pretty much every episode because there was so much drama and upset. When I watch it back, I don’t even recognise myself – I’m a different person, it’s frightening."
How old is Chloe Lewis?
Chloe is 33 years old. She was born on 5 January 1991.
Where is Chloe Lewis from?
Essex, obvs. Although she did move to Dubai in 2019, it seems Chloe is back in the UK if her social media is anything to go by.
Does Chloe Lewis have children?
Chloe fell pregnant with twins in 2019 but, tragically, she miscarried one of the babies. Thankfully, Beau was born in October 2019, with Chloe saying she and his dad Danny were “besotted” with him – and they will always tell him that he was conceived as a twin.
Speaking about her miscarriage, Chloe said, "I grieved for about three months. I felt like I had gone into a hole. I felt like I had done something wrong because it was my body. Was I going to the gym too much? You start questioning yourself.
"I know people who have carried twins all the way and lost one during labour so I felt like I was being stupid dwelling on something that was nothing anyway. I had to close the door on it and think that it wasn’t a fully formed baby, and people go through so much worse.”
After becoming a mum, she told Closer, “Motherhood is incredible – those moments when you look over at your child and can’t believe they’re yours. But it’s so difficult, too.
“My pregnancy was really hard, and the birth was traumatic – and that’s before he even arrived. I’ve always loved my sleep – even eight hours never used to be enough for me. So once I had a baby, I felt completely broken and exhausted. It’s better now he’s two.
“I also remember seeing all these ‘perfect’ mums on social media and that really fazed me. Everyone always has an opinion, but there’s no guide when you have a baby, because every baby is different. You just have to do things your way – there are no instructions on how to be the perfect mum.”
Who is Chloe Lewis' boyfriend?
Chloe began dating stockbroker Danny Flasher in 2016 and they welcomed their son into the world three years later before moving to Dubai as a family.
There were rumours that the pair had split and speaking to Closer back in 2021, Chloe said, "There are no plans for it yet that I’m aware of, you’d have to ask Mr Flasher about that one! I’d love to get married one day, though. If I did, only a few of the cast would be on the guest list. I’m still very close with Georgia [Kousoulou], so she would be invited.”
Unfortunately in 2023, Chloe revealed that she'd split from Danny and told her fans "it's been a complicated couple of years."
How do Chloe Lewis and Millie Court know each other?
In another episode of 'Do all the reality TV stars know each other?' It turns out Love Island 2021 winner Millie Court is friends with our girl Chloe.
Millie's friendship with Chloe came to light on social media when the 2021 Islander paid tribute to Chloe and another of their friends on their birthday.
Alongside a picture of herself, Chloe and some of their other pals, Millie wrote on Instagram, "Happy birthday to these two gorgeous girls. Have the best day!! Love u both lots @rachelhardypr @chloelewis91."
Chloe then reshared the post on her own Instagram story.
