As we (not-so patiently) wait for the cast of TOWIE to start filming series 31 later this month, we’ve been keeping up with the cast on social media and couldn’t help but notice we’ve not seen some of our favourites hanging out recently.
Junaid Ahmed joined the cast last year and quickly became firm friends with Dani Imbert and a returning Ella Rae Wise. Although he and Dani recently jetted off to Turkey to have surgery together, Junaid hasn’t been seen with Ella in weeks.
THEN – sadly it seems this plot is thickening by the day, TOWIE stans – Ella shared two extremely vague, albeit pointed, posts to her Instagram story this week. One of a post that read, "Don't waste your angel energy on toxic people".
Yikes. Shots fired?
A separate post read, "Have the courage to be disliked."
We really don't like where this is headed/equally live for this passive aggressive drama.
Surely they’ve not fallen out? We’d hate to see the tight-knit group at loggerheads, even if it would make SUCH good storyline for the next series.
Fret not. Ella has clarified she’s as close with Junaid and Dani as ever on her Instagram story and she's even managed to throw some subtle shade at the rest of the TOWIE cast in the process; so no doubt these most recent shares were directed for *ahem* other TOWIE stars.
The reality star recently shared two pictures of herself on a night out with Junaid, Dani and another of their friends and captioned the post, "Can't wait to see my besties this weekend 🤍.
"Been way too long now! People starting to think their wishes have come true and we all fallen out ahaha! 🤣🤣.
"Which we haven't we all very much spend all day on FaceTime 💕."
Phew. Thank goodness that's been cleared up. We were starting to worry.
This isn't the first time Ella has addressed rumours she's fallen out with Dani. The pair were pictured looking heated while filming last year, leading to reports which claimed they'd hade a huge argument and were no longer speaking.
However, Ella was quick to clear up the speculation as she shared a screenshot of a tabloid publication which had claimed she and Dani were rowing in the snaps and simply captioned the post, “Fake news.”
Dani also shared the screenshot and wrote, “I’ve heard it all now,” alongside a series of laughing emojis.
The pair later confirmed they were still besties when they shared behind-the-scenes snaps of them filming with Junaid, Harry Derbidge and Roman Hackett.
