The cast have only just flown out to Portugal

The TOWIE stars have only just flown out to Portugal for series 36 but it looks like there's already lots of drama as two besties have unfollowed each other on social media.
Nope, we're not talking about Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green or BFFs Sammy Root and Roman Hackett, we are in fact talking about Ella Rae Wise and Freddie Bentley.
The duo - who have been friends way before Freddie joined the show - have managed to make it through a lot of drama.
Remember when Ella fell out with Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman but Freddie stayed friends with them?

There was also that time Freddie was spotted with Ella's rival Amber Turner while they filmed the TOWIE Christmas special but they still managed to remain besties.
Freddie was even Ella's biggest champion during her Celebrity Big Brother stint but ahead of the new series it looks like something has gone wrong as fans have noticed they're no longer following each other.
It all came to light after Freddie, Junaid, Joe and Lauren Goodger posted a joint Instagram photo with the caption, 'Lauren and her gays 🤣 TOWIE Series 36 lets go ✈️ Portugal here we come.. 🇵🇹.'
After Freddie commented 'My lil gang', lots of his followers were quick to ask about Ella.
'Little gang that doesn’t include Ella! Seriously you all change friends like you change underwear,' wrote one follower.
Someone else asked, 'Why aren’t you and Ella following each other? 🤔😧.'
A third commented, 'Her and Freddie don’t follow each other anymore so must of been some drama 🧐.'

One more added, 'Noticed a few days ago as they weren’t in each other's Stories 🤷🏻♀️🧐.'
Well, it looks like the TOWIE cast are giving producers exactly what they need for the new series - content, which is a good thing because ITV bosses are bringing the show back to twice a week.
'ITV want to make a big splash with the show returning to its original home on ITV2 with the closure of ITVBe,' a source told The Sun.
'Bosses think it’s high time the show was reinstated to airing twice a week, just like it did in its original heyday.'
