Megan McKenna sees red when best friends Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows befriend enemy Chloe Hall
Mouthy Meg has a horrible wake-up call on Wednesday night's episode
FOR the first time this series, Megan McKenna's bi-weekly Towie meltdown isn't triggered by cheating accusations - in fact, the gobby brunette has a much realer problem.
In Wednesday night's episode, viewers will see the 23-year-old go berserk when she notices a picture of best friends Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green on Instagram.
Megan loathes Chloe L after she accused her of bedding her ex-boyfriend Jake Hall two years ago.
Their feud - and the inevitable row - was a highlight of the last series, and things are still tense between them.
On Sunday night, the girls had an argument on the deck of a yacht, with Lydia also trying to edge in to the action.
So, to see her loyal sidekicks looking friendly with the enemy is simply too much for Megan to cope with and she let's rip at poor Chloe M.
Thankfully for Megan, boyfriend Pete Wicks - who has blocked out all mentions and suggestions of her being a cheat - is on hand to cheer her up.
He presents her with a pricey gift - which slightly deflects from the fact that her two single best mates are getting closer to Chloe L, Kate and Lydia as they're all footloose and fancy free, too.
There's more bad news for Pete when Chloe L and Lydia recruit Mike Hassini to their anti-Pegan crew, and in Wednesday show he has a manly row with 'the Pirate' himself.
The episode also marks the on-screen debut of Megan's family.
Fans can expect to see plenty of 'heartfelt and earnest discussions around the kitchen table' over the coming weeks.
The drama continues in The Only Way Is Essex on Wednesday 27th July at 10pm on ITVBe
