TOWIE CAST SHOCK HL

The cast of TOWIE have just landed in Bali to start filming for the new series, which means the likes of Junaid Ahmed and Amber Turner will soon be back on our screens - and we have high hopes for series 35.

Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar started their secret romance last time the Essex guys and gals visited the Indonesian island, and we're hoping the same level of dramz from the cast, tbh.

Perhaps Diags will strike up a love affair with someone now that he's split from Jodie Wells, or could Saffron Lempriere finally have an on-screen romance?

It turns out that there is already chaos surrounding the holiday as one cast member failed to make it to the exotic destination after their visa failed to come through in time for the trip.

It was recently confirmed that Love Island finalist Matilda Draper, who is currently dating Roman Hackett, would be joining The Only Way is Essex cast, but alas it doesn't look like she'll be sunning it up in Bali anytime soon.

'It was one of those logistical problems,' a source told The Sun, 'Matilda had hoped all the travel paperwork would be done on time but she only signed onto the show the day before she began filming last week so there just wasn’t time to get everything ironed out.'

Poor Roman, it looks like he is going it alone. But, to be fair, there are worse places to be stranded without the love of your life.

Also, Roman is besties with pretty much every single cast member, so we can't imagine he will be feeling particularly lonely.

We are still hoping that Matilda will make a surprise appearance because just IMAGINE how gorge her holiday style will be.

Oh, and obviously we want Roman to be reunited with his girlfriend, of course.
