Axed TOWIE cast – where are they now?

Dan Osborne, pictured here with James Argent in 2013, managed seven series on the show. He was given the boot after a series of recordings, claiming to show Dan being verbally abusive towards his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin, came to light.

Pascal Cramer walked into TOWIE series ten as the new squeeze of Mario Falcone. Sadly, Mario still had the hots for his former flame Lucy Mecklenburgh. Pascal found out when she watched the episode in which Mario admitted his feelings for Lucy. AWKWARD.

Lauren Goodger was a TOWIE OG and her on / off relationship with Mark Wright, including getting engaged in a car park, was the stuff of reality TV dreams.

Lauren is still much loved by the public and in the summer of 2019, the reality TV queen kickstarted her hunt for love with the help of the agents on Celebs Go Dating. Since then, the former TOWIE star has welcomed her daughter Larose into the world with boyfriend Charles Drury. The pair confirmed they were having a baby together after dating for five months.

Maria Fowler, on the left with Joey Essex and Chloe Sims in 2011, was in the show from the get-go but her TV career was rocked when it was alleged she'd worked as an escort. She's since said she quit 'by mutual consent' after she refused an on-screen romance with Mick Norcross.

Maria's now a proud mummy (she gave birth to her second child in 2021), married to Kelvin Batey and a self-proclaimed permanent make-up artist.

Amber Dowding was part of a mega cull of seven TOWIE characters in January 2018. She claimed that she and her boyfriend Chris Clark were cut because they were happy. They've now split and Chris has since reappeared on the show.

If Amber's social media is anything to go by, she now appears to mostly be on holiday. Pretty goals from where we're sitting.

Mike Hassini brought a hot bod to TOWIE and... not much else. He was cut in January 2018 due to a lack of storylines as he was loved-up outside the telly show.

Jake Hall's time on TOWIE was mainly characterised by his on / off relationship with Chloe Lewis and his alleged cheating on her. He finally (sort of) confessed that he'd done the dirty with Megan McKenna in a very emosh scene on a park bench. Ah, precious memories.

Jake is now engaged to former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Missé Beqiri and they have a child together. Just before Christmas 2018, Jake was given a restraining order following a bust up between the pair however they soon reunited. As of November 2021 it was reported that the pair had split after five years together.

Jordan Brook and Jack were brought in as friends of Megan McKenna. When she quit, they were left without any storylines.

We still think very fondly of Ricky. His rocky relationship with Jess Wright was a huge part of the show but when they finally broke up, well... Ricky left the show "by mutual agreement" with TOWIE bosses.

Ricky now seems to mainly go fishing.

Remember when Tom Pearce dated Lauren Goodger following her split from Mark Wright? That was an odd time. He was quietly shown the back door of the show in 2014.

Honestly? We're not 100% sure what Tom is actually doing these days. He used to work in the City, and his holidays certainly look pretty epic, so maybe that?

Fran's original romantic interest was Tom Pearce but he stepped aside to allow Diags to woo her. Bad luck. Their relationship was turbulent but apparently not turbulent enough for show producers. Diags stayed, she went.

Jasmin managed eight series until she was given the boot. In 2015 her agent stated, "TOWIE is very storyline dependent and Jasmin did not have much going on that we could show on screen."Ouch. She went on to audition for The X Factor. It did not go well. She also took part in reality show Desi Rascals, that lasted for one series.

Harry Derbridge was a TOWIE original and still holds a very special place in our hearts. He made a welcome return to the show as Bobby Norris's love interest but, allegedly, cheated on him.

Billie followed in her sister's footsteps and joined the TOWIE cast in the second series. The beauty was never involved in any of the love stories on the show, yet was often locked in fiery rows.In 2016, Billie left the reality show after five years to concentrate on her family and other business ventures.

Billie and Greg got hitched in March 2019 in a luxurious wedding in the Maldives. They became parents for the first time to Nelly in 2014, followed by their son Arthur born in March 2017. Billie is the director of high-street fashion brand Minnies Boutique and stars in The Family Diaries after her sister Sam quit The Mummy Diaries.

Sam appeared in the first episode of The Only Way Is Essex and starred in eleven series of the show. Initially, she was involved with Mark Wright despite him being in an on/off relationship with Lauren Goodger In series 2, Sam started her romance with Joey Essex and they got engaged during series 8. In March 2014, Faiers announced that she would be taking a break from TOWIE after the end of its eleventh series, due to her Crohn's disease diagnosis.

Sam went on to star on The Mummy Diaries on ITVBe but in 2021 she quit the show. The reality star also has children Paul, six, and Rosie, four, with her boyfriend Paul Knightley. She runs her own clothing line, All Bits London and lives in Hertfordshire.

Ferne McCann made her debut on series 9 of The Only Way Is Essex in 2013, while on holiday in Marbella. Ferne is best known for her on/off relationship with TOWIE star Charlie Sims (Chloe Sims brother - awks).

Ferne came runner up on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015, losing out to bestie Vicky Pattison. Since then she has landed several presenting roles and it seemed that she was loved up with Arthur Collins. However their relationship ended when Arthur was arrested for throwing acid in a nightclub.She gave birth to their daughter Sunday in November 2017 and now she raises their child alone. She's also starred in her own show Ferne McCann: First Time Mum and after falling out with Sam Faiers, the TOWIE girls have since made up.

Arg shot to fame on the reality show in 2010 alongside then girlfriend Lydia Bright. After his first split from Lydia, his on/off romance with Gemma Collins first started. u200bBetween 2013 - 2015 Gemma dated newbie Rami Hawash, while Arg got back together with Lydia.In October 2014, Argent was suspended from The Only Way Is Essex after failing a drugs test. He returned to the series, but left in 2018.

Following his time on TOWIE, Arg and Gemma Collins continued in their on/off relationship but finally called it quits after she received a series of horrific text messages from him. Arg has also struggled with his body image and in 2021 he announced he had gastric sleeve surgery.

Lydia shot to fame as part of the original cast of TOWIE in 2010. She became known for her on/off relationship with fellow cast member James 'Arg' Argent.Lydia and Arg's relationship pre-dates that of even TOWIE as the pair have been on and off since they were teenagers, but after his infidelity and drug use, Lydia called it quits.

In August 2019, Lydia made the announcement that she's expecting a child. Loretta, who was born in March 2020, is Lydia's first child with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin.

Shelby didn't have the easiest time on TOWIE; she was left heartbroken after Pete Wicks did the dirty on her, she fell out with Sam Mucklow and then had an epic fall out with BFFs Clelia Theodorou and Olivia Attwood.

Billi Mucklow's brother Sam joined TOWIE and despite his rocky friendship turned relationship with Shelby, they managed to make things work and in 2019 he revealed he was quitting the show to focus on his "fairytale" relationship.

Following his stint on Love Island, Jon Clark joined the cast of TOWIE and had a row with Kate Wright, dated Lauren Pope and pretty much kicked off with the majority of the cast.

Chris Clark joined TOWIE and started dating Amber Dowding but they split and he went on to date Jesy Nelson. He then got back with Amber and they were both axed from the show.

Myles joined the reality show because he was dating Courtney Green. However their relationship was very rocky and during one row he called her a "dirty dog" and a "sl-g". After he split from Courtney he then moved on with Kady McDermott however after one series together they were axed.

Kady joined TOWIE during series 23 and caused quite a stir among Myles' ex-girlfriend Courtney Green and her pals. She only lasted one series but ended her stint with an explosive row with Amber Turner.

Mario first joined TOWIE during series 3 and went on to date and get engaged to Lucy Mecklenburgh. They then split and he was an on/off the show but decided to leave in 2018 because "it just wasn't for me anymore."

Danielle Armstrong, pictured here at the series 12 wrap party in 2014. The reality star famously quit the show in 2016 after the breakdown of her relationship with James Lock but, never one to miss out on the fun, she returned to the show in 2017. Her return was only brief but she also made a comeback for the show's tenth anniversary special.

Nowadays, Danielle is enjoying family life with childhood sweetheart Tom Edney and their first child Orla. In 2020, Danielle landed in hot water after she was spotted flouting coronavirus restrictions at a 'boozy party.' Oh dear...

Leading man Mark Wright's cousin, Elliot, has been on the TOWIE scene since the beginning (in a tiny cameo ud83dude02), so of course he had to make an appearance in the show's ten year special, even if it was just in a video call. He originally left the show in 2015 to work on his restaurant business, but told OK! magazine that he'd always be happy to return for a cameo in his restaurant Olivia's or at a meal with his OG friends Gemma Collins and James Argent.

These days, Elliot is enjoying life with wife Sadie Stuart and their first child together, William, as well as his two other kids (from separate relationships) Elliot Jr and Olivia. In 2021, Elliot announced the tragic news that his dad, Edward Wright, has passed away after losing his battle to COVID.

Matt had a rather fleeting stint on TOWIE and has now left the show after splitting from co-star Bobby Norris. The pair met at a salsa class while filming series 25 and moved in together shortly after. Announcing their split last year, Bobby wrote on his Instagram, "I can confirm that Matt and I are no longer together. We share some amazing memories of our time together and I truly wish him all the best.. x."

Nowadays, Matt's working on his fitness ahead of "Summer of 21" and, as far as we know, he's still single following his split from Bobby. Another victim to the TOWIE break-up cull, bless him.

Kelsey joined the show in 2019 and quickly fell out with long time pal Chloe Brockett. She seemed to be inseparable with BFF Ella Rae Wise but the pair ended their friendship after Kelsey accused Ella of kissing the guy she liked. Ella then claimed that Kelsey was allegedly seeing a married man.

Clelia joined the show with former BFF Shelby Tribble and it appeared that they were in a trio alongside Sam Mucklow. However things turned sour when Shelby and Sam started dated and poor Clelia lost two of her best friends. Luckily Olivia Attwood soon joined the cast to defend her friend. Clelia also almost found love with co-star Rem Larue.

Harry was in all sorts of drama on the show - he dated Chloe Brockett, he was then feuding with Chloe Brockett, he then dated Frankie Sims and they split following 'blazing rows'. Shortly after their break up, Harry was axed from the show...

Tom was one of those TOWIE cast members that got along with everyone and barely had any drama... Until his fling with Shelby Tribble. While Tom and Shelby were at odds, Sam Mucklow got involved and it almost ended in him and Tom having a fight.
