A number of TOWIE stars came to blows as they were dragged apart from each other in an explosive showdown during Sunday’s episode of the ITV2 programme.
The popular reality show returned to our screens this weekend for its 36th series, which involved the cast jetting off to Portugal.
At the start of the instalment, a Whatsapp message was brought up which was about how Freddie Bentley, 27, wasn’t impressed with how any of his co-stars showed his support towards his best pal Ella Rae Wise, 25, while she was in the Big Brother house.
Ella admitted that she expected some support from Jordan Brook, 28, his girlfriend Sophie Kasaei, 35, and the rest of the cast – however they failed to post anything on social media.
Tensions started to rise as Ella confronted Jordan about it, while Freddie, Junaid Ahmed, 30, and Joe Blackman, 27, listened in on the sun lounges next to them.
Dan Edgar, 35 – who is Ella Rae’s ex boyfriend – is best mates with Jordan and told her: ‘I would be wrong and I would be two-faced Fred, like you’ve called me in the past, if Dan is sitting with me going through a lot and I start posting about you.’

The likes of Amber Turner watched on as Jordan, Ella and Sophie came to blows by the pool in Portgual
Ella replied: ‘Sophie wouldn’t stand it if you went on a bender.’
Sophie, who was sitting on a sun lounger, said: ‘I actually wouldn’t mind. I’d be with him, that’s why.’
Jordan told Ella: ‘Yeah she wouldn’t care.’
‘Desperate,’ Ella sneakily added.
Meanwhile Amy Childs, 35, and Lauren Goodger, 38, were watching on from a distance and Amy confessed: ‘Oh my God I can’t even look!’
‘It’s been a long day. I know, I feel awkward, Lauren told her.
Ella got up and removed herself from the conversation, to which Jordan told her: ‘Don’t call my bird desperate.’
Sophie, 35, fumed: ‘Who is calling me desperate?!’
Jordan pointed at Ella and said: ‘Her.’

The camera went back to Lauren and Amy, and Lauren said: ‘I’ve never known so much drama in Essex in all my life’
As Ella walked off she said: ‘You’re all meant to be in your 30s, grow the f*** up!’
Freddie then chimed in and said: ‘It’s getting ridiculous.’
Sophie walked over to Freddie and Dani and asked: ‘What the f*** have we done?’
Dani pointed out the couple and said: ‘They’re not the problem!’
‘He is!’ Freddie replied. ‘He’s getting involved in my conversation.’
Jordan walked over and told him: ‘I am not getting involved.’
Becoming irate he added: ‘I’m getting involved. I am trying to make peace here. You’ve got the hump with me. I’m making peace.
‘I’m sitting here trying to make a conversation, I’m being a gentleman, trying to have a conversation.’
Freddie explained: ‘I don’t understand why you haven’t supported, it’s literally all pathetic.’
‘You’re pathetic!’ Jordan fumed back.
Sophie chimed in: ‘The messages?’
Freddie replied: ‘And you deserved it! You all deserved it. Deserved to be told about yourselves because at the end of the day if you don’t care go away then.’
The camera went back to Lauren and Amy, and Lauren said: ‘I’ve never known so much drama in Essex in all my life.’
Amy giggled: ‘We’re in Portugal hun.’
Freddie fumed at Sophie: ‘Don’t even stand there and speak to me.’
It then got very heated between the pair, with a lot of swearing, followed by Jordan pushing Freddie.
‘Who are you pushing mate?!’ Freddie shouted.
Dani Imbert and Junaid even had to step in to break things up.
Meanwhile the likes of Amber Turner and Chloe Meadows watched on in pure shock.
Junaid told Jordan: ‘Don’t start on him,’ before the pair skulked off in opposite directions.
