'Grey' or 'platinum blond'? You decide
Ahh, pre-TOWIE filming season is upon us once again. We always know when The Only Way is Essex guys and girlies are about to start filming again thanks to the usual clues on social media. We're talking call-outs for brand deals on social media, holiday shopping content, hair transformations and, of course, well, they flat out tell us, don't they?
Junaid Ahmed did the final two in one of his most recent TikToks showing off new 'platinum blond' highlights courtesy of his boyfriend and TOWIE co-star Joe Blackman, while telling his followers, 'We are going back to filming soon and the blond is coming back.
Filming inside his car while parked outside Joe's Essex salon, the TOWIE diva said, 'Guys, I'm going blond! Oh my God.
'So, I'm currently outside Joe's salon now and I'm about to go in and I'm transforming this hair into some blond highlights, which I absolutely love. We are going back to filming soon and the blond is coming back, so I thought I'd bring you guys with me on the journey.'
The video then cut to Joe working his magic in the salon and while we know we're meant to be paying attention to Junaid's journey into blond we just can't avert our gaze from Joe's new, whiter-than-white Turkey teeth.
According to Junaid, his hair has not received the blond treatment since before the Christmas special, so he's back in the salon again for a top-up before the cast jet off to Portugal to kick off series 36.
Now, while Junaid drops the word 'blond' several times in his TikTok and Joe stresses that he's giving his boyfriend 'platinum blond highlights' on camera, several of Junaid's followers aren't convinced 'blond' is the right word after seeing the final result...
One TikTok user wrote, 'more silver,' while another commented, 'silver or grey,' with another adding, 'nice, but grey silver.'
We'd like to echo the sentiments of one key_33-x who wrote, 'who cares if it's blond or grey, looks unreal, keep slaying hun.'
Show bosses are yet to confirm when the next series of TOWIE will start airing, but if previous seasons are anything to go by then it will likely hit our screens around the end of August or start of September.
The TOWIE cast always jet off on an exotic getaway to kick off a new series. They've previously gone to Bali and Cyprus and it's just been announced that they'll be going to Portugal for the first time.
Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Creative Director, Unscripted, Objective Entertainment said, 'This is TOWIE’s first trip to Portugal and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable getaway!
'We’re anticipating lots of TOWIE antics in the Algarve and what better way to celebrate the milestone 15th anniversary.'
