Watch the moment Towie’s Freddie drops shock BOMBSHELL relationship news on cast – leaving them speechless
THE romance between Joe Blackman and Junaid Ahmed, has stirred up trouble in TOWIE, coming so soon after Joe’s split from Harry Derbridge.
Now it seems it was Freddie Bentley who shared the news with the rest of the cast and their shock at the unlikely duo, is palpable.
In the latest episode, Freddie is holding court in a café, surrounded by friends, including, couples Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar with Jodie Wells and Diags, James Bennewith.
In the clip he reveals how he stumbled across the news.
He says: “I knew when Joe went round to Junaid’s last night, so I thought I’d check in and see how it went. I video-called Junaid and as he’s answered the call, they’re both snogging.”
The shocked reaction of the cast indicates that Joe and Junaid are a controversial coupling.
Last month The Sun revealed Harry and Joe had split a year after getting together.
The news left Towie fans blindsided as it came just weeks after Harry told how they’d discussed marriage.
Days later we told how Harry had found messages between Joe and Junaid that spelled the end of their relationship.
An insider said of the blossoming romance between Joe and Junaid: “Since then Joe and Junaid have been spending lots of time together.
“They been spotted on dates around Essex and staying at each others.”
Earlier this week, Joe and Junaid broke the news of their union to Harry, who appeared lost for words.
But viewers rushed to social media and took aim at Joe – branding him a “gaslighter”.
One wrote: “Sorry but Joe from #towie is an absolute narrcisist. Blames everything he possible can on Harry.”
Another said: “Harry is handling this so well but Joe is so gaslighty.”
And a third added: “Joe is such a manipulator.”
But having been on rocky ground for sometime. Hopefully Harry will accept in time that change is needed.
