A row had been brewing between the pair after Gatsby, who still holds a torch for Chloe after they briefly dated, lashed out at Pete for being disloyal following his split from Megan.
Gatsby said on Wednesday's episode of the ITVbe show: “The geezer is the biggest Jekyll I have ever met – he’s a user and he’s got no loyalty.
“She backed him to the death and I don’t even get on with Chloe but I would never let anybody chat s**t about her or disrespect her.
“If anyone chat s**t about her to me I would say ‘listen shut up.’
“She’s supposed to be his best friend with loyalty but he’s letting people run around saying things.”
Chloe became embroiled in the on-going spat with Megan following rumours that her friendship with Pete had developed into a romance.
The mum-of-one denied there was anything more than platonic feelings between her and Pete but that didn’t stop online trolls targeting her over the allegations.
As a result Chloe banned filming of scenes between her and the ex-couple as she fears there could be implications for her daughter.
She said: “I’ve taken myself out of the situation with Megan and Pete and have stopped filming with them.
“I’m getting trolled and abused online and I don’t want kids in Maddie’s school seeing what they’re writing about her mum.”
Chloe’s decision comes as close pals claimed Pete might quit Towie altogether following the stress of his breakup with Megan.
A pal said: “Pete is looking forward to this series coming to an end – it’s been a stressful few weeks and the situation with Megan is beginning to take its toll.
“He loves being a part of the show but hasn’t enjoyed watching his break-up play out in front of the nation – not to mention the constant arguments that followed and subsequent fall-outs with pals.”
