‘I’ve counted five people crying’ — TOWIE airs its most dramatic episode ever as explosive feuds, stormy exits and emotional confrontations leave FIVE stars breaking down in tears on screen - suong
FANS of The Only Way Is Essex were left completely stunned due to dramatic scenes.
Five of the cast broke down in tears on the latest edition of the long-running reality ITV2 show.



In yesterday's edition of TOWIE, Chloe Meadows and Saffron Lempriere came to blows.
When they were by the pool
She took great offence to this as she ruthlessly called her 'grandma' in return, before they argued about their friendship.
This was after Saffron, 31, lambasted her for her actions when Freddie Bentley, 27, argued with former friend (and fling) Harry Derbidge, 31.
Saffron broke down over fears that she was being portrayed to be someone that she feels that she is not.
Raging at the situation, she fumed: "What world are they f****** living in? Under a rock? We ain't in a f****** fairy-tale?"
Elma and Sammy
Meanwhile, Elma soon broke down in tears when the pair spoke about her failed romance with Sammy Root, 24.
Saffron claimed she encountered Sammy back at the hotel in scenes that were not shown on camera.
She admitted: "Elm, I didn’t know how bad he was. All his eyes were filled up."
The personality - who used to be friends with legendary star Gemma Collins - also revealed that Sammy told her: "I date to marry and she was the one."
He didn’t make me feel like a girlfriend, he didn’t make me feel special.
Ella Rae Wise
Elma then broke down in tears as she couldn't bear to hear just how upset he was at the break-down of their relationship.
Later, she came face to face with her former Love Island co-star who was visibly upset.
At the end of their conversation, he held his head in his hands as she stormed off before tripping up on her stunning summer skirt.
As she teared up, the pair couldn't help but hold each other in an intimate embrace as they were caught up in the emotion.



Ella and Dan
Meanwhile, Ella Rae Wise, 25, addressed her own breakup situation with James 'Diags' Bennewith, 34.
He used to live with Dan Edgar, 35, as he reflected on the breakup before Ella entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.
But Ella claimed: "I’ve never left him to go on a TV show."
"When I was with him, he felt more like a friend. He didn’t make me feel like a girlfriend, he didn’t make me feel special"
This is officially the most dramatic episode of Towie ever.

She added: "I would just mirror what he was doing to me."
However, she also broke down in tears after she came face-to-face with her ex-boyfriend as their relationship failed to pick back up.
At the end of the episode, Freddie Bentley stormed out of the hotel after getting into another argument with Chloe Meadows.
What do the viewers think?
Fans took to X - formerly known as Twitter - in their droves as they claimed that this episode was the 'most dramatic' in the series
One fan remarked: "I’ve counted five people crying. This is officially the most dramatic episode of Towie ever."
A second stated: "Forever arguing. Do they ever let up?"
Speaking about Saffron's actions, another joked: "Imagine being that pressed that someone called you uncle."
"Towie is so depressing this season so far!," noted someone else.
And a fifth added: "So my daughter put on #Towie. First we had Chloe crying, then Saffron. Now there is Elma from

‘Loyal behind my back… that’s my type’… Bailey’s ex-fiancee Lulu sparks shock as she hints at betrayal and heartbreak in explosive posts – after revelations the MAFS UK star broke rules of their open relationship - suong

MAFS UK star Bailey’s ex has hinted their open relationship "nearly destroyed her", after it was revealed how he "didn’t follow the rules".
Bailey, 36, is currently appearing on MAFS UK, and this week viewers watched him marry bride Rebecca Fenney, 32, on the hit E4 reality show.




Dad-of-one Bailey shot to fame this week on Married At First Sight, but before trying to find love on the show, he was in an open relationship with his ex-fiancee, Lulu.
The Sun previously revealed how, despite a set of rules being in place for that relationship, Bailey “didn’t always follow them.”
A source close to the former couple told The Sun: “Those close to Bailey and his ex-fiancé know that the relationship was not monogamous, and as it was an open relationship, both parties
“The couple had some rules in the relationship, and Bailey didn’t always follow them, but has taken accountability for his mistakes and openly talks about them on MAFS UK.”
They continued to add: “He and his ex-partner remain friends, and there is a mutual respect between them. They shared some amazing experiences together and continue to support each other.
“All will be revealed on MAFS."
Now Bailey's ex Lulu, who shares a child with the MAFS star, posted several messages on her Instagram Stories, about a past relationship "almost destroying" her.
The posts read: "Do you know how strong you have to be to heal from wounds caused by someone who swore they loved you?
"Do you know how strong you have to be to still radiate love, even after everything you've been through?
"Do you know how strong you have to be to believe in love again after the last time nearly destroyed you?
"May you attract someone who treats you like they've been waiting their whole life to find you.
"Loyal behind my back… that's my type.
"I hope you find someone who hate's hurting your heart."
With this in mind, Lulu may have been pleased to see that her ex fiance Bailey's MAFS wedding didn't get off to the best start.

His bride Rebecca was less than impressed with her groom when she saw him for the first time.
As she walked down the aisle, she laid out her expectations in a voiceover.
Rebecca said: "I am attracted to the alpha male. I won't settle for anything less."
Speaking in a private confessional, the bride shared her first impression of new husband Bailey.

"I'm not sure if he's alpha or not", the bride said, "He's not my type."
When about share their traditional wedding kiss, Rebecca asked Bailey to kiss her on the cheek instead.
Left stunned, he later said in a confessional: "I can't remember the last time I was given the cheek, if I'm honest."
There was also a fan backlash following some comments made by the bride.
It came after viewers watched Rebecca take a swipe at her new husband Bailey just minutes after meeting him.
After asking Bailey to "please just accept me" in her wedding vows, Rebecca went on to take a shot at her new husband's height.
When Bailey told Rebecca he is 6ft 4 - she repeated his height in disbelief before telling the camera "no, he's 6ft 1".
Married At First Sight airs on E4.
