The TOWIE lot are a truly unpredictable bunch; relationships - both romantic and platonic – are up and down like yo-yos and the villain crown is constantly being chucked around like a hot potato. But who are we kidding? That's why love them. Just when we think we have our TOWIE lads and lasses all worked out, it turns out we absolutely don't and that, TOWIE fans, is how you make it to 33 series.
Saying that, one thing that is predictable about TOWIE is that cast trips away will always cause utter carnage (or a typhoon if Chloe Brockett is involved – sadly she's not this time around); maybe the heat fuels the drama – we're not scientists. And it seems the 30 degree heat in Bali right now is responsible for some seriously WTF behaviour because – we'll just rip the plaster off on this one – Dan Edgar has been getting VERY close to one of his ex Amber Turner's enemies (frenemies?) in Bali, while she's also out there filming.
Not only that, but said enemy once upon a time tried to throw Dan under the bus by calling out his mischievous flirting while he was still with Amber, so there's an extra layer of confusion.
According to a rival publication (who got the scoop and snaps before us because they're the Amber Turner and we're the Courtney Green / Chloe Meadows, apparently) none other than Ella Rae Wise and Dan have had a "holiday fling" while out in Bali – and we have to say the pics of them cosied up to one another and holding hands seem to speak for themselves. There's even a claim that Ella and Dan have shared a kiss while away and it's giving playing with fire.
According to The Sun's insider, "Dan and Ella have been growing close while on the away trip with their friends.
"Ella's always had a thing for Dan and the cast could sense there was chemistry between them.
"On a night out with the rest of the cast, Dan and Ella kissed and have been spending time together ever since.
"The fling is set to cause major drama and fallouts between the group."
Right? While Dan and Amber are now very much separatedafter six years together, we can't imagine these snaps are going to go down well with the queen right about now – ooo, now it's giving Snow White – especially given that Ella had finally made peace with girl band.
Just blame it on the heat and then duck cover, Ella.
