TOWIE’S biggest feud ever has erupted, with Joe Blackman and Junaid Ahmed slamming the cast’s treatment after last night’s Christmas special.
During the festive shocker, fans were left horrified after Junaid, 29, and Joe, 26, found themselves in one of show’s most shocking ever bust ups with Harry Derbidge, 30.

It led to Joe revealing the reason for his split with Harry was because he “wouldn’t put out”.
After the ITVBe show aired, Junaid posted a dig at his co-stars as he shared a loved-up snap with Joe to Instagram.
He wrote: “Tonight’s ep was a hard watch. Just want to say thank you for everyone that has sent us love & support it’s truly much appreciated.
“You really do see people’s true colours in the ep & how they made me and Joe feel.
“Never have I experienced what we did on that dinner table, and the way people treated us.
“It’s only made us stronger than ever & forever grateful for the support.”
In a scene from the installment, latecomers Junaid and Joe received a frosty welcome from their co-stars as they arrived at a lavish country house party.
Earlier on in the episode, Harry revealed a phone call from Junaid – where he told him that Joe had been “unfaithful” to him and had “cheated” on Harry TWICE during their one-year relationship.
As the cast celebrated the festive season with a dinner party– some co-stars were were ready to settle some old scores.
The spotlight was quickly on Joe and Junaid and their relationship following their brief split at the end of last series.
Joe admitted: “We’re so much happier now. With Junaid I can be 100 per cent myself and not feel like I’ve got to be careful of what I say and what I don’t say.”
It didn’t take long for Courtney and Chloe to pipe up and tell the pair they were out of order for parading their romance on social media.
Harry then decided to go head-to-head with Junaid as he addressed the phone call they had, where Junaid confessed that Joe had been unfaithful to both of them.
Harry yelled: “You were so quick to get on the phone to me and we spoke for long. You said a lot of things and then you come to me again, crying your eyes out, telling me Joe cheated on me twice.”
Junaid replied: “Yeah, yeah I did say that.”
Joe defended himself saying he hadn’t cheated, which prompted Harry to scream: “How can you literally act like this never happened?”
A furious Junaid hit back: “I’m sitting here and saying I said this stuff. I’m saying I owned it. I did and I’m not lying about it.”
Harry said: “I’m frustrated because you’re lying.”
Junaid fired back: “Shut your f****** mouth.”
But things turned nasty as he revealed the “real reason” for his split from Harry, telling the table that his former partner “wouldn’t put out”.
Harry told him: “Joe, you’ve embarrassed yourself.”
The cast were gobsmacked by his confession, with Chloe calling it “childish” and crude, while Sophie shut him down saying: “There’s a way of saying things. You don’t throw things like that across the table.”
Towie fans were also shocked by the comment.
One wrote: “That’s absolutely disgusting behaviour because he felt he did not want to have s*x every single night with him so he shames him for that.
A second posted: “Got to say, this episode was uncomfortable to watch. If this was all done for entertainment then it is not a great look.”
A third said: “Joe’s comment was below the belt.”
This fan defended the couple, writing: “I’m not a fan of Joe and Junaid….. but the bullying is wrong! Saffron invited them, ignored them when they arrived, let everyone else blank them and then set them up for a fight at the dinner table!”
Another said: “Everyone ganging up on Junaid and Joe like that really isn’t nice at all. That’s like high school behaviour. Acting like that on national tv whilst being proud and laughing about it is honestly putting me off and I’ve been a TOWIE fan since day one.”
Things got off to a bad start for lovebirds Joe and Junaid.
Upon their arrival, Sophie Kasaei said they were in the “wrong room”, while her boyfriend Jordan Brook sang a festive tune.
Feeling humiliated, Junaid later told pals Lauren Goodger and Freddie Bentley that he only “wanted good vibes”.
He said: “Everyone’s got their opinions, but if I myself have decided to give things a go and we’ve sorted our problems out it’s no one’s f******* business.”
Junaid was also at the centre of a fallout between new boyfriend Joe and best friend Dani Imbert.
Dani was left furious after Joe slammed her on social media – and claimed she had “cheated” on her boyfriend with Roman Hackett, which she denied.
SECOND CHANCES
Last week, TV favourite Junaid opened up about his brief split from Joe.
Junaid exclusively told The Sun: “Joe was unfaithful. We had just gone exclusive. He was unfaithful. It was my own decision to go back into it. We are together.
“It wasn’t as bad as something I couldn’t forgive.
“At the end of the day…this is my first relationship. This is the first time I’ve been in love
“It was a stupid little mistake.
“He had messaged someone else… I ended it.
“And then we didn’t speak for a week or so then rekindled and worked on things… really worked on things.
“We started off again as friends, to rebuild the friendship, to see where we would get to and see what would happen.”
Junaid revealed that the pair are back on track, despite causing upset among the cast.
“Fast forward to now we are happier than ever and more loved up than ever,” he told us.
“Making sure we are on the same page, boundaries and respect and all that…
“It has moved leaps and bounds. Massively… we are very much in love and happy and content and good.
“We didn’t expect it and we didn’t know it would happen.
“Obviously there was quite a clear connection between the two of us… and I do believe love takes over in the end.
“There is a massive connection there and we have gone with our hearts.
“When you are in love and you’ve gone with your heart what more can you do?
“It is going to ruffle everyone’s feathers. He is Harry’s ex and it not the ideal situation but at the end of the day we make each other happy.
“And that is what matters the most.
“Love wins in the end.
“We are practically in a relationship, without the label.
“He has lived at mine for the last month. He is living with me.
“I am waiting for him to do it (ask us to be boyfriends)
“We are both going to Bali which will be exciting and fun.”
