THIS is the explosive moment Towie star Joe Blackman faces the wrath of Harry’s friends as Saffron screams at him in a fiery showdown.
It’s all kicking off in Essex and this time there’s no coming back for Joe.
Sunday night’s episode of The Only Way Is Essex will be a scorcher as Joe finally faces the fallout from hooking up with Junaid last year — before starting a full-blown relationship with him.
Towie stars Junaid Ahmed and Harry Derbidge’s friendship went cold last year when Junaid caught feelings for Harry’s ex-boyfriend Joe.
In jaw-dropping scenes to air on Sunday, Saffron snaps as she points out the shocking betrayal while a sobbing Joe clutches a tissue from Ella aRae Wise, who tries to calm the chaos.
The drama unfolds when Ella confronts Joe about his ongoing spats with the group.
She says: “I don’t think the issue is you and J being together — the bandaid has been ripped off, we’re all over that.
“Everyone’s over that but you ain’t helping yourself with the comments you’re making to people and you’re starting on people for no reason.”
Fighting back tears, Joe admits he’s struggling.
He says: “It’s hard for me to come over and talk to you because I do feel like it’s a lot, because I really care about you, Ella.
“Not being close to you is hard.”
But Saffron has had enough — and she absolutely lets rip.
She wades in, saying: “For us, it’s that I was fine with you, but you feel comfortable to carry on in front of me and then the tears start, and I can’t understand that, Joe.
“Because he hasn’t done nothing wrong to you, and you’re resenting him because no one is having it with you — and that is the truth of it.”
Joe shakes his head, trying to defend himself.
He cuts in: “No, that’s not it…”
But Saffron isn’t backing down.
“It has to be, Joe, because he hasn’t done anything wrong to you!”
As Joe scrambles for words, he triggers Saffron’s rage.
“Look, it ain’t an excuse, but Harry has not had anything nice to say to me,” he replies.
And that’s the final straw for Saffron.
“Because you f****d his best mate, Joe!” she shouts.
“Get with the real world, digest it, be remorseful, be empathetic, and we will all move forward.”
It comes as Joe claimed that Harry’s new budding romance with Freddie Bentley was an attempt to make him jealous.
Series 35 of Towie has just returned to our screens but is already giving so much drama.
Roman Hackett is loved up with Love Island’s Matilda Draper, Jodie Wells and Diags are on the rocks, and Junaid has fallen out with BFFs Dani Imbert and Ella.
