Frankie and Demi Sims throw future of reality show in doubt as they return to Towie and say they’ve quit LA ‘for good’
FRANKIE and Demi Sims have thrown the future of their reality show in doubt after returning to Towie and revealing they’ve quit LA “for good”.
The siblings, who shot to fame on the ITVBe programme in the 2010s, made the move over to Los Angeles in 2022 for their OFTV reality show, House of Sims.
But things went south when they fell out with their big sister Chloe, 43, which resulted in the younger sisters fleeing back to the UK.
They’ve now rejoined Towie‘s cast, with the duo confirming they have quit Los Angeles “for good” in a scene from last night’s episode.
In the clip, Harry Derbidge couldn’t contain his excitement at seeing Frankie, 29, and Demi, 28, walk into a nightclub.
He exclaimed: “This is the best surprise in the world.”
Frankie announced: “We’re back in Essex for good,” prompting Elma Pazar to gasp: “Shut up!”
Frankie added: “We’ve done a year in LA, and it was enough time to sort of see what it’s like living out there and working out there.
“But it just comes to a point where we were like, ‘Let’s go home.’ You just want to be with your friends and family.”
Harry chimed in, “Yeah, and you’ve got so much life here as well. Like friends, family, best thing in the world.”
House of Sims, which is currently two seasons in, stars Demi, Frankie and Chloe, as well as their brother Charlie and his fiancée Georgia Shults.
But, back in January The Sun revealed a secret feud between Chloe, Frankie and Demi, which resulted in the youngest sisters moving back to Essex.
Speaking exclusively to us in July, Demi seemed optimistic about her return, saying: “We’re just on our break at the moment.
“We’ll probably start filming at the end of the year.”
When asked if she’ll move back to US for it, Demi added: “Possibly, possibly.
“We’ll have to figure it out. I’m not sure, we’ll figure it out.”
Back in April, Chloe confirmed the future of the show.
“We’re just about to go into preproduction for series three, when I go back,” she told us.
When asked at the time if her sisters would be on the show, she said: “Yes, of course.”
However it appeared that they still hadn’t reconciled over their argument.
Chloe explained: “We’re not actually at the moment, but we’re all apart of House of Sims, so they’ll be on it.
“But what will go down, I don’t know.”
A source told us in January: “Chloe’s fallen out with her sisters big time.
“They’ve gone their separate ways after a huge fight broke out in LA, where they’d been filming the show.
“Chloe’s decided to stay out there while Frankie and Demi have left her and headed back home to Essex to pursue their own careers.”
It was also revealed that Chloe threw a drink in Demi’s face during an argument.
The siblings – who are the cousin of Love Island‘s Joey Essex – all shot to fame on ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex.
Chloe joined the show in 2011 and their brother Charlie became a regular in 2013 and left in 2015.
Demi hit our screens in 2018, followed by Frankie in 2019 – and they all left in 2022.
Demi, Frankie and Charlie share the same parents, Chloe has a different mum to them.
