Can we be honest? If we're struggling to keep up with the ins and outs of the TOWIE cast's lives, how on earth are you lot managing? And if you're a new viewer, well, we're praying for you; maybe start from the very beginning on ITVX (if you hear the word 'vajazzled' a lot, you're in the right era) and take a lot of notes.
We've become accustomed to the twists, turns and turbulence on the rollercoaster that is TOWIE, but never in the series's 13-year history has the on-and-off set drama been THIS unpredictable.
One chaotic storyline that has been hard to keep up with, is whatever the hell is going on with Ella Rae Wise, Chloe Brockett, Dani Imbert and Junaid Ahmed. In short, Ella fell out with former besties Dani and Junaid, and Chloe took her place. Throughout the entirety of filming, Ella and Dani x Junaid x Chloe have been at war on social media, sharing what feels like daily passive aggressive memes clearly directed at one another. Basically, if it's about betrayal, trust or fake friends, this lot have shared it at some point over the past few months. There's also been an epidemic of unfollowing on Instagram amongst this lot, which in 2023 is essentially an act of war.
We have no clue what sparked this feud, although it's believed it started when Dani and Junaid started palling it up with Ella's nemesis Chloe.
In the last series, the three of them had several moments of confrontation with a fair few raised voices and scathing looks but it ended with them, well, not exactly BFFs but no drinks were thrown so we count that as a win.
During a recent Q and A, a fan asked Ella "What's going on with you and Dani? I've always loved your friendship with her."
Ella replied with a diplomatic response as she shared a pic of the two Essex girlies together and revealed where they currently stand.
"TOWIE is back soon so you guys will know the ins & outs then, but for the minute we are amicable🫶🏻"
That being said, in the same breath Ella hinted that some Essex chaos was heading our way, another follower wrote, "Pleaseeeeee bring the drama on TOWIE and don't hold back this season!"
Ella responded, "I've got a whole new different energy this series...The drama won't take long to start💅🏻"
Drama with who? Because last time we checked Ella is now besties with former enemy Amber Turner and rumours has it Chloe Brockett won't even be in this series, what with her being suspended and all.
Fingers crossed the air date will be soon and all will be revealed.
