Since TOWIE returned last month we've been pretty confused about the wholeChloe Sims/Pete Wicks feud but it looks like we're finally going to find out what really happened between the pair.
When the show returned for the 10th anniversary, Chloe revealed that she hadn't spoken to Pete since January and admitted "he made me question if I even knew him at all" after he didn't reach out to her during lockdown.
While Pete made it clear that she too could have reached out to him, the duo managed to make things right and they appeared to be best pals again.
However in Wednesday night's episode Chloe opened up about their friendship and told Pete, "I'm not gonna chase you around Brentwood, I'm not gonna initiate conversations or plans or spending time together."
She then went on to burst into tears and tell him, "For six months it was really hard making myself hate you.
"You knew I'd be scared in the pandemic, you knew I'd be overthinking it. I wasn't sleeping.
"You didn't do nothing, you were meant to be there. You promised. You do wanna, you don't. It's too heavy, I can't deal with it!"
Chloe then added, "I'm sick of it, I'm sick of men, my so-called friends f--king me over!"
And while some of the TOWIE cast - Yazmin Oukhellou, James Locke and Tommy Mallett - have speculated that there could be deeper feelings between them, Pete has now teased that the truth will come to light very soon.
