TOWIE fans have confessed that they don't trust Harry Derbidge's boyfriend Joe Blackman.
Joe, 25, joined the ITVBe show last year as Harry's love interest and is also on the current series airing on our screens.
Since Harry and Joe got together, Harry and co-star Junaid Ahmed have drifted after having a number of rows.
During the last series Junaid made it clear that he had an issue with Joe and now he's been spreading gossip about how the couple are unhappy together.
Harry is currently in Bali and had a row with Dani Imbert after she and Saffron asked him if he was having relationship problems with Joe.
Joe confronted Junaid, who ended up not going abroad with the cast, about why he's been talking about their relationship during Sunday's instalment of Towie.

Junaid said: "I don't know what's been said and what you've heard..."
Joe replied: "I've heard that you've been coming round my house, having nice Nandos with us, actually had a nice time, and then you would then go frm my house, go see your mates and tell them I've been slagging them off, which is not true.
"You know it ain't true."
Junaid said: "I mean from my point of view, you and Harry from all people know what it's like around here.

"Essex is very small place. People have a lot to say.
"Why haven't you come directly to me and asked me?
"I thought we were good enough friends. Surely you'd be like 'Junaid, what is this? 'What's going on?'
"Rather than let it turn so nasty, then I bump into you in a furniture shop trying to get some bits and now we're having this conversation."
Joe wasn't having any of it.
"But that's exactly the same situation as I'm in," he said back.
"If we was friends and you knew that me and Harry are fuming with you, why didn't you pick up the phone and go 'Joe, Harry, everything that you've heard... it ain't true babe'."
Junaid said: "I'm first to own up and put my hands up when I'm in the wrong and sit there and say I've slagged everyone off."
"You're telling me now, everything I've heard is a lie?" Joe asked.
He added: "I know it's true because Dani told Harry that you two fell out because you didn't want Dani to come round mine and Harry's."
Junaid confessed that he was upset at the time.
Joe fumed: "That's strange."
Some fans have flocked to social media to share their thoughts on the situation, and they think that Joe could end up cracking on with Junaid.
One said on Instagram: "Plot twist - Junaid and Joe hook up 👀
Another wrote: "They definitely want each other 👀 🤣😂 won’t be long till they hooking up."
Meanwhile others have shared how much they enjoy him on the show.
A third commented: "Love joe says it how it is not fake one bit."
"I just love Joe 😍," a fourth said.
Junaid and Harry have been best mates for years, but decided to see if there was a romantic connection between them last year.
The pair decided that they were better off as pals and Harry got with Joe in July 2023.
Harry and Joe are keen to start a family in the future.
