Okay, first and foremost, this headline is a stretch, and bearing in mind that we write 20 TOWIE-related headlines a week (at least ten of those being about Dan Edgar as of late) on Closer online, that's saying something, but we're going with it because when you reach the end of the article you'll appreciate how really, really funny we are.
Seriously, the majority of this morning's editorial meeting was spent patting each other on the back for this one.
But, yes, to stress – especially if you're Dan, Ella Rae Wise or Amber Turner reading this – please suppress your reaction until the end of the article.
As TOWIE fans already know, Dan has been at the forefront of the TOWIE drama this series; hooking up with Ella and giving EVERYONE in Essex something major to talk about was never going to leave him with anything but a main character role this season, was it?
But the drama on screen is only the half of it for our Dan; according to reports, Dan recently cheated on Ella with his ex Hannah Rally while Ella was on holiday in Dubai, which has has led to some seriously passive aggressive backlash from Ella on social media - and a predictable, dignified silence from his other ex, Amber.
In short, Dan's pants are the talk of the town right now, and according to social media, yet ANOTHER TOWIE star (well, former TOWIE star) has been getting into Mr Edgar's pants as of late (we hope those pants have a good elasticated waist on them), but don't bother guessing who, as we can tell you right now, you're way off.
Mainly because when we say 'getting in to Dan Edgar's pants' we mean getting into his new line of swimming trunks from his boujie male swimwear brand, Beluga. And when we say 'former cast member' we mean his mate, Harry Lee.
Harry has been modelling Dan's new swimwear on Instagram, you see.
A stretch? Yes, okay. Go on, pat us on the back.
Harry, who joined TOWIE in 2019 and who is now dating winter Love Island 2023 legend Samie Elishi – shared a VERY NICE snap of himself sporting some of Dan's luxury swimwear somewhere hot and lovely (we think Portugal) and captioned the grid image, "@belugaswim_ 🩳 We have just completed our first campaign SS24 shoot and cannot wait to release our new and refreshed content 📸🇵🇹 Keep your eyes peeled…"
We THINK Harry might actually be involved in Dan's business (based on his caption), not just modelling the goods.
Actually, we're almost certain of this as Dan commented on Harry's pic, "🤝🏼🩳."
But who cares, our hilarious headline still holds up.
Much like his friend and former co-star James Lock, who launched gym wear brand Levo last year, Dan launched his own clothing business, Beluga, last summer. Beluga is a swimwear company whose products are all made “ethically” with organic and recycled materials - they released their first collection last summer.
Harry was one of the many new cast members who joined TOWIE in 2019 for series 24. He appeared alongside his best pal Tom McDonnell until they were culled from the show two years later.
Harry joined TOWIE at the same time as Chloe Brockett and the pair quickly struck up a flirtationship. While getting to know each other, it came to light that he was also messaging co-star Chloe Ross at the same time and Chloe B was NOT happy. From then, Harry and Chloe had an up and down relationship as they went from friends to flirty and back again but ultimately their love story just wasn't meant to be.
Harry then dated his co-star Frankie Sims for around a year before they split in 2022 following a series of rows after it was claimed that he flirted with former flame Chloe on a night out. The pair unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed all trace of their relationship from their profiles.
He's now 'getting into Dan Edgar's pants'. Yes, we find ourselves very funny. Thanks.
