In case you missed it, TOWIE icon Chloe Sims is leaving Blighty once again to build a life for herself in America. It's safe to say her Hollywood dream didn't quite work out in 2022 (if you missed all that dramz, we'd suggest spending the afternoon catching up on Closer online, because we sure didn't), but the House of Sims star is hoping the second time is the chime, and this time, she's New York City bound, where the single mum is hoping to live out her 'Carrie Bradshaw' fantasy.
And to be fair to Chloe, in the few short weeks she's been on the east coast, she's so far embraced a fair few Sex and the City clichés; she's entered her dating era, she's been treating every New York City street like a catwalk, she's been apartment hunting, oh, and she's bump into an ex she hasn't seen for years. Very Carrie.
The former TOWIE star has started a new vlog series on YouTube called The Honest Edit, allowing her fans to join her on her New York adventure and at the end of episode two, Chloe revealed how she ran into one of her exes at a New York party this month and it's safe to say she had some things to get off her chest once she'd arrived back home and swapped her glad rags for some PJs. Again, very Carrie.
Naturally, being Chloe obsessives, we clutched out pearls and held our breath when Chloe began telling the story. Who was it, though? Pete Wicks? Elliott Wright? Liam 'Gatsby' Blackwell? Mario Falcone? Dan Edgar? Plenty of Mr. Big's and Aidan's in that lineup.
'[Vas Morgan] dragged me to my...I mean I don't know if you can say ex, but someone I used to see 20 years ago.'
She continued, 'And this man hadn't changed. He was still as good looking as he was 20 years ago. He'd been in like a time machine, maybe he has. So, I didn't wear my best "bumping into my ex" outfit, I dressed for Fashion Week. I was like, for f**k sake. This could've been my husband. Anyway, I don't think he's my husband.'
Then things got awfully SATC, with Chloe revealing, 'As Im waiting for the elevator, the ex [is] right next to me. Obviously, the romantic side of me is like, is it fate? It turns out it weren't fate.
'I go to him, "Are you leaving?", he goes, "Yeah, you." And before I had a chance to answer, I turned around and I was like, "HELLO?", He weren't even there. I said he looked well, but he didn't look that well. I was totally offended.'
Chloe explained, 'He weren't my favourite ex. He wasn't the ex that I pined after, he was just any ex.
'In the politest way, I genuinely thought this man existed. And he had the audacity to turn up to the same party as me, ask me to go for a coffee and then does that at the elevator.'
She finished by saying, 'I just really must be attracted to c**ts.'
Not Chloe reflecting on her NYC night out a la Carrie. We couldn't be more here for this new era of yours, Chloe. Consider Closer online your Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha
