Towie’s Saffron Lempriere slams Dani Imbert as a ‘diva’ after she broke down in tears on Christmas special

TOWIE star Saffron Lempriere has called Dani Imbert a 'diva' after her tearful breakdown on the Christmas special.

The reality favourite proved there was no love lost between herself and Gatsby's girlfriend as she appeared on The Sun's Towie Official Christmas Party show.

Chatting to host Bobby Norris about the drama surrounding Dani, she said sharply: "Dani the Diva… she brought it on herself."

Fans of the show have been watching the ups and down of Dani and Gatsby's relationship.

Liam and Dani's blossoming romance was at the centre of last series - as Liam finally asked Dani to be his girlfriend.

The couple confessed their love for each other back in June, and looked to be going from strength to strength in their social media snaps.

But their romance had been rocked by cheating rumours.

Last month, fellow Towie star Chloe Brockett, 20, was forced to deny kissing Gatsby after Dani threw out accusations on social media.

"I have never in my life kissed Gatsby, ever," Chloe told her fans in an emotional Instagram video.

The Essex favourites were also forced to deny split rumours three months ago.

At the time, an insider told The Sun that the pair are very much still together following speculation.

Followers began to speculate that the two were no longer together.

A Towie source told The Sun: "They have not split - they're very much together despite the rumours."

THE SHOWDOWN

Meanwhile, Dani appeared to reflect on her love life in a cryptic social media post about "only having one life".

"Been thinking a lot about life lately and it's only sunk in that you only get one life, you don't get another go at it," the Instagram stories post read.

"Never give a f*** about what anyone thinks about you, life's too short to be anything but happy," the quote concluded.

Their split also comes after fellow co-star Roman Hackett came to blows with his best pal Dani in an explosive finale showdown.

Tensions boiled over as Roman took aim at the couple.

Viewers watched Roman and Dani have a heart to heart, in which he asked: "Are you two perfect now then, yeah?"

She replied: "Not perfect, no one's perfect."

However, she insisted they didn't argue.

TEMPER, TEMPER

Later in the day, tempers flared as Roman asked her: "Have you said to me before you're not happy with Gatsby."

The man in question could only watch on awkwardly as his teary girlfriend replied: "Maybe I've confided in you a bit too much. Maybe it's insecurity, whatever."

That seemed to trigger Roman, who went off in a rage.

He said: "Crack on with your fake relationship, yeah.

"You're a f***ing joke."

Addressing the drama on The Sun's Towie Afterparty, Gatsby told host Bobby Norris: "Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

"Sometimes it is difficult everyone putting their two pence in. But at the end of the day we haven't got to sit there and prove to everybody whether we want to be together or not. All that matters is we're happy and we want to be together."
