Another day, another TOWIE feud as Saffron Lempriere has revealed she’s not speaking to one of her co-stars after they fell out.
Saffron is no stranger to the drama after previously clashing with the likes of Chloe Brockett, Jordan Brook and Amber Turner, but this time it’s Junaid Ahmed that’s in her bad books.
According to Saff, she and Junaid are no longer on speaking terms and it doesn’t sound like either of them are willing to reach out and repair their friendship either.
She explained, “Me and Junaid are not talking - he hurt me. So, I'm yet to talk to Junaid."
Saffron also told The Sun, “Junaid is finding it very hard at the minute, he's trying to make amends with people."
The first episode of TOWIE’s 33rd series aired earlier this week and while most of the cast jetted off for some fun in the sun in Bali, Junaid stayed in Essex and was seen popping over to a returning Lauren Goodger’s house for a cuppa and a catch-up.
In emotional scenes Junaid told Lauren, “Everyone has gone to Bali and I just feel like the best thing for me, is to not to go. I've just got so much going on and I wouldn't be my best self.
“I've recently just reconciled with my family and it's changed my perspective on life. I've been running around Essex, thinking I know who I am but deep down I don't know who I am.”
Saffron’s not the only TOWIE cast member who’s fallen out with Junaid as it was revealed he’s also had a bust-up with Harry Derbidge during the series 33 premiere.
“He's heard rumours that I've been slagging him off to people in Essex,” Junaid explained to Lauren. “We were supposed to go out for a Chinese and he just cancelled and never spoke to me again."
He added, “I do say things and gossip and run around here there and everywhere, but so does everyone. I feel like people are so quick to say 'Junaid this...', I'm a certain type a way and I'm not."
Harry opened up about why he’s not happy with Junaid earlier this month as he said, “In these last five or six months Junaid has just been throwing little comments about me. Saying to people not to talk to me and not to be friends with me."
This isn’t the first time the pair have hit the rocks as they infamously clashed last year when Harry started dating his boyfriend Joe Blackman. They’ve reconciled once before, let’s hope they can do it again…
