If you’ve been a TOWIE fan for a long time, you’ll know that producers LOVE to shake up the cast every few years and they did just that in 2019 when they introduced a slew of fresh faces including Chloe Brockett, Frankie Sims, her sister Demi Sims and Harry Lee.
Ella Rae Wise and her pal Kelsey Stratford also joined the show at the same time but, while Ella and Chloe are still going strong, Kelsey was sadly axed from the show in 2021 when bosses culled a number of cast members.
It’s been two years since then and Kelsey has undergone a career change, but we’re pleased to see that she’s still friends with Chloe. If you’re wondering what she’s been up to since leaving the show, here’s everything you need to know…

Sadly not. The two Essex ladies fell out on the show when Kelsey accused Ella of kissing the guy she fancied. Soon after, Ella claimed Kelsey had been getting it on with a married man.
