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 with Amy Childs and her children, Chloe accidentally labelled Saffron as ‘uncle’.
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.
Now the pair have both separately broken down in tears as drama reached a boiling point.
Chloe was comforted by Harry as she broke down over the argument as she didn’t want to relive mistakes from people in her younger years.
Courtney Green , 30, and Amber Turner , 32, later came to their pal’s defence as the drama continued to spiral.
So she arranged to have a crunchy sandwich and crisp lunch on the beach with Elma Pazar , 33.
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.

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 history.
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 Love Island. WHAT is going on!?!”
The Only Way Is Essex continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.
