TOWIE legend Harry Derbidge introduced his boyfriend Joe Blackman to viewers last summer and since then he's become part of the TOWIE furniture.
As of series 34 he's been a main character following his split with Harry and apparently moving on with Harry's former BFF Junaid Ahmed.
So we've done some digging on Joe and everything you need to know about him.
Is Joe Blackman still dating Harry Derbidge?
Nope. If you've been watching the latest series of TOWIE then you'll know that things fell apart with Harry and Joe after the cast trip in Cyprus.
Why did Joe Blackman and Harry Derbidge split?
Where do we begin?
During series 33 of TOWIE it came to light that Joe and Harry had issues after the OG star learned that his boyfriend had said to Ella Rae Wise that he was looking forward to a break while Harry was filming in Bali.
Apparently the entire cast (well, defs his friends Saffron Lempriere and Dani Imbert) seemed to know about before Harry. Awks. But by the end of the series they were happy and heading to Paris.
Fast forward to series 34 and although Joe was filming in Cyprus with the rest of the cast, he was sleeping in a separate room to Harry and spending a lot of time with Junaid (more on that in a sec).
And while we've already gone over everything that went wrong with Harry and Joe, long story short things were not working between them.
During an emotional chat, Joe explained to Harry, 'Our relationship isn't working... you must be crazy if you think this is normal and you think this is working. You can't think this is normal?'
Harry then said, 'It's because I'm hurting... I just don't feel you really want to try because we haven't had a lot of time to try.'
After Joe made it clear that he feels 'happier' after returning from Cyprus and having space, they ended their relationship.
Why were Joe Blackman and Junaid Ahmed feuding?
Before we get into those Joe and Junaid dating rumours, let's throw it back to when they were feuding.
Remember when Joe first joined the show and things were REALLY messy between Harry and Junaid?
After Harry asked if Junaid was jealous of Joe, Junaid hit back and said, 'Jealous of him? Are you f--king deluded?'
They then came face to face in the next episode and although Junaid and Joe met for the first time, it didn't go down well. In fact, Junaid threw shade and said, 'I hope your £11.99 blue tick goes well for you babe.'
Joe hit back with, 'You're embarrassing Junaid.'
They did manage to put all the drama behind them and if anything, they've gone a little too far with getting on...
Are Joe Blackman and Junaid Ahmed together?
Apparently so.
Days after Harry and Joe split, it came to light that Joe and Junaid not only had a 'connection' but according to Freddy Bentley they were snogging on FaceTime.
It's not known if they're actually a thing but they did tease having a date night on social media.
