TOWIE star Chloe Meadows has revealed that the cast have rallied around heartbroken Harry Derbidge following his split from Joe Blackman.
The Sun revealed earlier this month how Harry Derbidge's ex Joe had moved on with co-star Junaid Ahmed just two weeks after splitting.
Harry's best mates Chloe and Courtney Green have shared their shock at the new romance - saying they didn't see it coming.
They also took a swipe at Joe for how quickly he jumped from one relationship to the next.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Courtney Green said: “I think everyone moves on at their own pace, if that’s how Joe deals with it then that’s him.
"But it takes me a good year to get over someone."
Chloe said: “I think the worry is, was there any sort of emotional crossover, which isn’t nice to think about because it was so quick.”
She continued: "Harry's going to have to relive it all and it’s not nice. It was about a month ago when all of that Cyprus stuff happened.
“I think everyday it gets slightly easier and it goes in waves.
"Some days he has good days and some days he has bad days. But he will be absolutely fine.
"There is light at the end of the tunnel and I know he can’t see that right now, but there will be a light at the end of the tunnel and he will be fine.
"When he looks back it will be a blessing in disguise."
Courtney said she and girlband have been supporting Harry following the public breakup.
“Harry’s our best friend, we’ve all been through breakups before and it’s not nice – especially going through a breakup on the show is harder because you’re around people," she shared.
"We love Harry and we’ve always got his back.
“I don’t think you can be friends with an ex, especially when they get with your best friend.”
When asked if they expected Joe and Junaid to get together, Chloe said: “It was a surprise, I didn’t expect. They hated each other initially.
"I think in Cyprus, when Joe and Harry broke up, I felt sorry for both of them. But now this has happened...."
Meanwhile, TV favourite Junaid, 30, admitted that his romantic life is progressing in the right direction, despite the controversy.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Junaid said: "I'm the happiest I've ever been, it will pan out on the show.
"I knew Harry and Joe's relationship was on the rocks prior to coming to Cyprus and being in Cyprus everyone saw it.
"On both parts it didn't work out, I get that it's sad 100 per cent and I wish them both well."
The reality star said there will be a lot of emotional scenes and tears this series.
"Me and Harry have a very open and honest conversation, as you can imagine that pans out.
"Me and Joe has some very honest and open conversations about us and where do we go and what does happen.
"There is so much emotion and heartfelt moments in this show, it's hard because I genuinely feel like this is the happiest series I've had.
"I've lost a lot this series but it's also made me the happiest person I am."
Harry has since unfollowed ex boyfriend Joe and former best mate Junaid.
Just last week, Junaid and Joe shared matching snaps on Instagram from their evening out together.
The pair, who are enjoying the early stages of their romance, posted a photo of wine glasses while out together at an Essex restaurant.
Someone who will be standing firmly by Harry's side is his cousin and legendary Towie star Amy Childs, 34.
It seems the drama has already kicked off even before the series has begun - with Amy unfollowing Joe and Junaid on Instagram.
But it looks like there's no love lost as Joe has also hit the unfollow button on Amy's profile
