Rumour has it that the upcoming season of TOWIE is giving series one energy and while we were initially hesitant to believe such hype, recent news has us thinking it may well be fact.
When we chatted to Junaid Ahmed at the National Reality TV awards, he was more than happy to open up about series 34 deeming it, "absolutely crazy."
What Junaid failed to mention was that one of the reasons so much drama lies ahead is because he has allegedly been getting his flirt on with OG Essex star Harry Derbridge's ex bae, Joe Blackman.
Rumours have been circulating that Harry and Joe split after Joe was messaging Junaid which is WILD considering these two had major beef in past seasons. Did they really find themselves caught up in an enemy to lovers love triangle? It's all very YA dystopian novel of them.
Anyway, while Harry attempts to move on from his apparent ex, he is at least finding comfort in a Love Island babe.
Harry shared a pic on his Instagram story across the weekend where he can be seen posing it up a storm and receiving a kiss from Liverpudlian beauty queen, Samantha Kenny.
The northerner is no stranger to Essex fellas as she was coupled up with Joey Essex during her stint in the Love Island 2024 villa but was booted out when he chose to couple up with former flame, Grace Jackson.
Sadly, we can't imagine Samantha joining the structured reality TV show anytime soon seeing she is literally from Liverpool, but we can dream, right?
WATCH: Brace yourselves, a brand new series of TOWIE is on the way and it's going to be an absolute corker according to Juanaid Ahmed
