TOWIE friendships change quicker than British weather and frankly, we deserve more credit for staying on top of them and getting the updates out to you in a timely matter. Just look at Ella Rae Wise's friendship with Junaid Ahmed and Dani Imbert – that group is somehow remarkably back on track after a tumultuous year of whopping ups and downs but, who knows, it's probably changed again while we've been writing this sentence. But hey, that's part of the TOWIE parcel and just one of the reasons we've been tuning in for 14 years.
Saying that, one friendship group that could seemingly survive a zombie apocalypse in Essex is Amber Turner's 'girl band' (the OG members – sorry, Chloe Brockett and Harry Derbidge) – yep, Amber, Chloe Meadows, Courtney Green and Elma Pazar are undeniable friendship goals, constantly sticking up for one another and remembering fiercely loyal to one another season after season.
Until now? Gulp. We knew deep down that even this girl group had an expiration date...
Chloe recently took to her Instagram story to reveal her " favourite TOWIE cast member" and, of course, we were expecting her to upload a giant, glowy, goddess-like picture of Amber, or at least a cosy snap of her giggling with bestie Courtney, or maybe a Prosecco cheersing boomerang with Elma. But no.
In fact, she didn't mention a single member of girl band and we are shook.
We know what you're thinking – it must be Diags then? They are very good pals, but he's apparently not Chloe's fave cast member, either.
SO WHO THEN?
Apologies in advance if you were hoping for something uber dramatic here (Dan Edgar or Ella, perhaps), but alas, Chloe has declared that her favourite TOWIE cast member is none other than Amy Child's daughter Polly and we totally get it. Just look at this TOWIE princess...
Taking to her Instagram story at Amy's twins' first birthday bash (which we're pretty sure is the series 33 finale setting), Chloe shared a stunning snap of her holding Polly with the caption, "Polly pocket asks for a picture. My favourite cast member!"
Cute / get her in 'girl band' immediately.
It's somehow been eight years since Chloe Meadows joined the cast of TOWIE. She arrived in Essex alongside BFF Courtney (pre Polly) and it didn't take long for the girls to get stuck in and amongst all the drama - remember their feud with Kate Wright?
Chloe has definitely had her fair share of drama, including a HUGE fall-out with her former BFF Megan McKenna and arguing with Courtney's ex-boyfriend Myles Barnett.
