TOWIE fans have slammed Saffron after she broke down in tears over a huge bust up with show rivals.
During the Portugal episodes of the hit ITV2 show, she came to blows with fan-favourite, Chloe Meadows.
When they were by a pool at the hotel, Saffron Lempriere was offended when her pal accidentally called her ‘uncle’.
She later shot back calling her a ‘grandma’ as she slammed her co-star for the way she acted as Harry Derbidge clashed with Freddy Bentley .
Since then the feud has completely blown up on The Only Way is Essex as Chloe stated she could see a way their friendship could recover.
As such it has put cast members like Dani Imbert and Elma Pazar stuck in the middle of the friendship groups.
Saffron then attended a prosecco garden gathering with Freddie, Junaid Ahmed and his boyfriend Joe Blackman , but she broke down in tears.
Explaining the situation, she admitted: “Basically there is no friendship left. Elma’s in the middle. Dani’s in the middle.
“Elma has really had my back and Dani has, they’ve said ‘look her delivery might have been wrong but ultimately it weren’t coming from a bad place’.
“And I definitely didn’t think it was gonna blow up.”
She then started to cry as Junaid stood up to comfort his friend while Freddie tried to reassure her.
“I’m angry,” she fumed as the tears rolled down her cheeks. “Because it’s a lie, that’s the worst thing.”
Saffron added: “No, but I’ve had to go around f*****g Essex justifying myself, I aint going to change.”
Meanwhile, Junaid tried to calm her down before giving some tough love to his close pal and co-star.
He added: “You always mean well, that’s the thing. You always check in on everyone.
“Can I be really, really honest with you Saff? I don’t think they ever valued you as a friend.”
I’ve had to go around f*****g Essex justifying myself, I aint going to change.

Fans not happy
However, fans were left more than unimpressed as they claimed she played ‘the victim’ in a feud that she started.
One user took to X – formerly known as Twitter – and they stated: “Saffs answer for everything is ‘I talk straight’ but no one can say anything to her.”
A second noted: “Saffron waited till she wasn’t being filmed to ask Harry is Chloe was crying you can see she puts on a persona when she’s filming the way she came for Chloe her mask slipped now she’s trying to play the poor me card the min Chloe said uncle she flipped.”
“Saff, you’re mouthy, any wonder people dig you out,” claimed a third viewer.
While an opinionated fourth fan added: “Saffron has a foul foul character. No wonder she’s nothing but a tag along.”
The Only Way Is Essex continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.
