Chloe Brockett and her TOWIE co-star Saffron Lempriere may be back on speaking terms following their explosive fallout last series, but there’s clearly no love lost between them as some major shade has been thrown on social media.
Chloe, 20, has found herself at the centre of Essex’s latest drama after enjoying a secret fling with James Lock but it seems she isn’t the only one with her eye on Lockie as Saffron recently admitted she’s taken a bit of a fancy to him.
During an appearance on TOWIE spin-off show The Official After Party, hosted by Bobby Norris who quit the ITVBe show earlier this year, Saffron revealed her ideal man would have Lockie’s “naughty banter”.
And when asked if he has the best body in Essex, she replied, “That would be telling…”
It wasn’t long before word reached Chloe, who was taking part in an Instagram Q&A when one of her followers asked, “Thoughts on Saffron saying she fancies Lockie on the After Party show, but giving you grief?”
Alongside a photo of her wearing a jacket emblazoned with the phrase 'stay in your lane', a clearly unimpressed Chloe replied, “I didn’t watch it so I didn’t know she said that… maybe that’s why she was asking so many questions? 👀
“She’s welcome to try and go there next… no loyalties here girl 😉.”
