After watching every single series of TOWIE you'd think we know absolutely everything and more when it comes to the cast cast but turns out, we were wrong.
Now, we always thought that before joining TOWIE as Harry Derbidge's boyfriend Joe Blackman was a hairdresser, which is he, but it turns out he had a boujee AF job before his reality TV stint.
Opening up about life before TOWIE, he said, 'I’m a hairdresser. My mum has had a salon for 30 years, so originally I was working for other companies so I could get the training.
‘[Now I work with my mum] but it can be hard sometimes because she bosses me around…
'I do love my job but I was like Junaid [Ahmed], I always knew I wasn’t born for a 9 to 5. I was meant for bigger things.'
It was at this point during his chat on the Spill with Will podcast that he revealed his job before fame.
‘I did a lot of West End performing. I was in Oliver in the West End,' he admitted.
'I was a really competitive performer. I would travel around the world - I won ultimate Disney, I won every competition that I used to go to. I used to love it.'
Okay jack of all trades.
And while Joe might have left behind his competitive days, he is still involved in a lot of drama.
His relationship with Junaid sent shockwaves through the TOWIE cast last year and things took a turn in Bali recently when it came to light that Joe had in fact cheated on Harry with his pal Junaid.
Savage.
