As much as we miss seeing her on TOWIE, we were ecstatic when it came to light that Yasmin Oukhellou would be reuniting with ex-boyfriend James Lock and former friend Chloe Brockett on Ex on The Beach.

We’ve already seen two episode of the show and let’s just say, tears were falling… So of course, when we caught up with Yas we had to ask about her experience on the MTV show and her answer didn’t disappoint.

After we asked why she went on the show she joked, “Great pay check!”

She went on, “It was the idea of going on a nice holiday. I thought it was going to be like TOWIE days in the sun, free holiday, a few sangrias, couple hours filming and it was completely the opposite.

“It was very full-on: 24/7 in a house. Mad experience but completely glad I did it,” she admitted.

And while she enjoyed the experience as a whole, Yaz did go on to describe how difficult it was being filmed 24 hours a day.

“It was hell. Oh my God every day I was like, ‘I’m leaving. I can’t take it anymore.’

“Every morning I was in the bed and I’d just see this thing [the camera] looking at me like jaws and then I'd go in the bathroom to have a shower and then the camera would turn on us and I’d go, ‘Can you stop looking at me?’

“It was a bit much for me personally. It wasn't like TOWIE [which is filmed] three hours a day or two hours a day.”

Yaz quit TOWIE in January 2023 following reports that she fell out with pals Junaid Ahmed and Dani Imbert but earlier this year she posted a picture alongside the latter, so it looks like all is well in TOWIE land.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like she’s returning to TOWIE anytime soon though.

“I”d never say never to anything in life. But not right now for me at the moment,” she told us.

Looks like we’ve got another series surrounding the Amber Turner x Dan Edgar x Ella Rae Wise saga.

Watch the first TWO episodes of the brand-new series of Celebrity Ex on the Beach on Paramount+ first from 19 March, or catch-up weekly on MTV.
