During the away trip, Freddie and Harry come face-to-face after their brief romance fizzled out last series.
Their co-star and CBB beauty Ella is caught in the middle and forced to take sides when things become heated.
A source said: “Freddie and Ella have a major fallout with Harry in Portugal.
"There has been a lot of tension between Harry and Freddie ever since their romance didn't work out and the way it ended didn't sit well with Harry.
"Freddie and Ella try to put the stuff with Harry behind them in Portugal and Harry also wants to move on from everything that's been going on and feels Portugal is the place to do that.
"They are all just trying to find a way to move forwards and reach an amicable place and don't want their differences to affect the rest of the group.
"But things come to a head and there is a big confrontation with some incredible scenes.
"Harry and Freddie are not on speaking terms but the cast are hopeful that things can be resolved for good."
The Sun has reached out to ITV for comment.
Last series, Harry was at the centre of the drama after his ex-boyfriend Joe Blackman got together with his former best friend Junaid Ahmed.

And it was claimed the new romance overlapped Joe’s relationship with Harry.
Shock Towie scenes saw Dani Imbert drop the bombshell during a chat with Saffron Lempriere.
She said: “Joe was going round to Junaid’s and they were sleeping together from the beginning.
“Before things had actually been called off with Harry.
Dani confessed she felt conflicted due to her shaky friendship with Junaid and the fact she’s gotten close to Harry recently.
She said: “I shouldn’t be lying to Harry’s face - he should know the truth.
“But then I can’t help but constantly have that guilty conscience because I’d be half f****** Junaid over.”
The cast flew out to film scenes in June and stayed at the five-star resort in the Algarve for a two-week trip.
The Westin Algarve was chosen as the cast’s base. The resort, that just opened with its five-star facilities, beachfront setting and high-end suites, is expected to serve as the glamorous backdrop for much of the upcoming drama.
From luxury daybeds and DJ sets to sunset views and private lounges, every setting is being handpicked to deliver high-energy content and unforgettable scenes.
The team behind the show sees Portugal as the ideal location – glamorous, sunny and accessible with only a short 2.5 hour flight from the UK.
BIG MOVE
With ITVBe now closing, the programme is returning to its original home on ITV2 from Autumn 2025.
Ahead of the move, TOWIE will be reverting to airing twice a week.
It will see a new midweek episode joining the usual Sunday instalment.
This was the show's original screening pattern but it reverted to one episode per week back in 2018.
A source said: “ITV want to make a big splash with the show returning to its original home on ITV2 with the closure of ITVBe.
"It’s one of their flagship shows and it’s still one of ITVX’s most streamed shows with 66 million streams in the last 12 months alone.
"Bosses think it’s high time the show was reinstated to airing twice a week, just like it did in its original heyday.
"It’s amazing news for fans who will be getting double their fix of drama, and the cast are thrilled too.
"It’s a huge vote of confidence in the show after all these years on air.”
