When we first heard whisperings that winter Love Island star Samie Elishi and former TOWIE star/footballer Harry Lee were getting close at the start of this year, we were ALL here for it. It was giving reality telly golden couple/Gen Z Posh and Becks - it even came complete with a fiery TOWIE ex in the form of Chloe Brockett. All Closer Online gold, to be honest.

Then they confirmed their relationship by going Instagram official (the only valid way for celeb relationships to hard launch, let's be honest) in March 2024.

While we were very much here for her and fellow winter Love Island star Tom Clare at the time, we are now very much here for her and Harry - it's basically been all cutesy, wholesome, couple content and endless lavish holidays together. We'd say goals, but we're a realistic bunch.

So imagine our surprise, when we heard whisperings of a snap of Samie cuddling up with another TOWIE star. It can't be? Can it?

It turns out it isn't – yes, there's a snap of Samie cuddling up to a TOWIE star out there, but it's not a fella, it's in fact, her good pal and fellow reality telly queen, Chloe Lewis.

Posting a STUNNING snap of the pair on her Instagram story (both queens serving jeans and a nice top, we might add), the former TOWIE star captioned her post, "The most beautiful. Love you, Sam @samieelishi. That CERTAINLY would've been a different story if, say, Dan Edgar had written that caption and professed his love to Samie, but thankfully, we've once again significantly overreacted. Phew.

It's cute to know these two Essex gals are chums, though.

Like Samie, Chloe is a reality star and social media influencer, however this reality star rose to fame on TOWIE almost a decade ago. She only starred on the reality show for three years but quickly became a fan favourite and still has a huge following to this day, with over a million followers on Instagram.

WATCH: Hang on, we could have seen Ruby on TOWIE instead of Love Island if she'd replied to her mystery DMer...
