AN UNDER-FIRE TOWIE couple have clapped back at the “hate” from cruel online trolls and admitted the incessant online bullying is “beyond belief.”
They pleaded for more consideration over the comments towards their partnership, arguing they “can be seriously damaging to anyone’s mental health.”

Junaid Ahmed, 29, and partner Joe Blackmore, 26, posted a joint upload to their Instagram grid, and tagged TOWIE into the post as well.
The couple sent shockwaves through the cast last year when they got together – and they have recently doubled down on their decision to become an item.
Joe had previously been in a relationship with Junaid’s former close friend Harry Derbidge.
To make things in Essex even more awkward, The Sun told recently how Harry and Freddie Bentley got together during the cast trip to Bali last month.
Yet after Joe and Junaid’s blossoming romance played out on the new ITVBe series, sparking a fresh series of spats between the cast, fans have flooded social media with their comments.
After the latest wave of trolling, Junaid took to Instagram to post an emotional message which read: Hey guys,
“We would like to address tonight’s episode of @towie along side the previous episodes and series, the amount of abuse and hate we are receiving on all socials is beyond belief.
“We have opened up our lives to the public and given our truth and real emotions. We have both openly said we have done wrong in the past and take full responsibility and acknowledgement for this.
We are genuinely sorry for our actions and any hurt we have caused the cast and viewers.
“We are REAL people with real emotions and let’s face it we have all done things we are not proud of.
“Please can everyone think before you post on social media because these comments can be seriously damaging to anyone’s mental health.”
HITTING OUT
After last week’s episode aired, Junaid’s former best mate Dani Imbert was also forced to take to social media after she was accused of “cutting off” her pal.
The reality TV was left furious after her fall out with fellow TOWIE cast member Junaid.
In December she broke her silence to confirm the pair have fallen out with the future looking extremely bleak.
TOWIE STARS SPIN OFF
WITH the announcement TOWIE will return in 2025 for two new series, it’s good news for some former ITVBE stars, too
TWO of the show’s best loved former stars will celebrate their own big life moments with a spin off series featuring Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou.
Their new show title is currently unconfirmed.
The pair, who first met and found love on TOWIE back in 2014, finally say ‘I Do’ in a three part special produced by Objective Entertainment.
The show will follow on from the success of their Baby Steps series.
Dani confessed at the time: “As much as I didn’t agree with what [Junaid] was doing I was trying to be respectful and have his back.
“I was trying not to be negative. In the long run it has caused us to fall out and we are not really speaking now.
“It has led to us falling out. Joe put stuff up on social media about me.”
Now, Dani has responded to a fan accusing her of ‘cutting off’ Junaid.
They wrote: “Junaid made an effort to be civil, but she was dismissive and rude.
“It’s clear she wants to cut him off to align with the others. Even when he clarified, ‘I’m not disregarding that,’ she snapped back with, ‘I never said you were,’ despite him not arguing with her.”
Dani responded to the fan, writing: “I ‘aligned with the others’ before I cut him off. So absolutely not the case, sometimes just too little too late but no hard feelings.”
Series 35 of Towie has only just returned to 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.
Don’t miss all the action on Towie this Sunday at 9pm on ITVBe or catch up on ITVX.
