Ferne McCann takes a swipe at nemesis Chloe Sims in TOWIE series 14 trailer

Now we’re all a little unsure about Chloe Sims and Elliott Wright’s relationship status and it turns out, so are most of the cast of The Only Way Is Essex as Ferne (who’s been feuding with Chloe for months now) decides to use the trailer to highlight this fact.

Sat on a sofa with Lauren Pope, Jasmin Walia and Lydia Bright, Ferne does her best Elliott impression and says to the camera: “Chloe, I love you 'coz you're crazy. I love you 'coz you're nuts,” before adding:

“Chloe and Elliott? I really don't care. Just make your minds up!”

As heat reported this week, it’s been very tense in Essex of late (and Tenerife, no doubt, where the cast have just been filming for an upcoming special), and that became even more apparent during the filming of the trailer, and the new adverts, when the cast were split off and kept completely apart.

Charlie Sims – who’s coming back to the show after a break – told us how they’d all been kept in friendship groups and that before shooting had even started, they’d all be told to be on their ‘best behaviour’ throughout the day.

They do love a drama, that Essex crowd, and unashamedly – we cannot wait to watch sparks fly.
