TOWIE star Chloe Brockett has caused quite the stir ever since she joined the cast in 2019 but now it's come to light that she was banned from filming after breaking lockdown rules.
Viewers will know that a couple of weeks ago, Chloe was absent from an episode and now it's been revealed that she broke coronavirus rules when she visited her rumoured boyfriend Jack Fincham.
"Chloe broke coronavirus rules by going to Jack's house, so Towie had to suspend her.
"The cast and crew have done everything they can to film the current series safely and in adherence to the government guidelines," a source told the Daily Mail.
They added, "Chloe knew she had let the team down but she's so infatuated by Jack, she couldn't resist travelling from Essex to Kent to see him."
A spokesperson for Lime Pictures told the publication, "A member of our cast was reminded of the guidelines three weeks ago after appearing to visit the garden of someone not in their bubble.
"Consequently they were not permitted to continue filming until providing negative Covid results."

Since joining the ITVBe show two years ago, Chloe has been involved in a lot of drama.
She had a fling with Harry Lee but things got awkward when he moved on with co-star Frankie Sims, she infamously fell out with Ella Rae Wise and Kelsey Stratford (although she's since made up with the latter) and more recently, she's feuding with Saffron Lempriere.
When we recently caught up with Kelsey, she defended Chloe and insisted she's not involved in her row with Ella.
"People keeping say, ‘Ella said that she thinks it’s Chloe Brockett that’s getting into my ear’, but Chloe actually hasn’t gotten involved in this at all.
"Chloe wasn’t there when Ella kissed that boy. Chloe isn’t making Ella’s decisions for Ella, it’s Ella’s fault.
"It has nothing to do with Chloe," she told us.
