I was phased out from TOWIE after producer asked me to sleep with Mark Wright - these are the dirty tricks meddling bosses use for maximum drama on screen
Known for its scandal and drama, The Only Way Is Essex burst onto British small screens 15 years ago as a front runner in reality TV. But a new bombshell claim from a former star could cast doubt on its authenticity. Many of the stars from the first series stayed with the show or years, but recently a super fan asked about the whereabouts of two bar tenders who vanished from the show after its debut season. One of those was Sugar Hut barmaid Candy, who resurfaced on social media as a result of the fan's call out TikTok video - seen by The Sun. However Candy's appearance came with a shocking claim, as she reportedly explained why she and her fellow pint puller Michael did not return for season two. 'The producers told us that unless I slept with MW [suggesting Mark Wright] and Mikey fake a romance with HD [suggesting Harry Derbridge], they would find it hard to place us,' she sensationally claimed. 'We didn't want to discredit ourselves by faking storylines, so, they phased us out.' Candy replied to the episode claiming what was real about the show and what was fake. She revealed that she and Michael are still friends but they never worked at Sugar Hut. Of her decision to walk away, she said: 'Some would say [it was] stupid. We say honourable, no hate though. We have happy lives, not everyone wants to be famous.' In response to her claim, a spokesperson for ITV told Daily Mail: 'TOWIE has always followed real people and their real lives, and we're grateful to the cast for sharing their lives and their emotions with our audiences over 15 years.' It comes after a number of TOWIE stars came to blows as they were dragged apart from each other in an explosive showdown during Sunday's episode of the ITV2 programme. The popular reality show returned to our screens this weekend for its 36th series, which involved the cast jetting off to Portugal. At the start of the instalment, a Whatsapp message was brought up which was about how Freddie Bentley, 27, wasn't impressed with how any of his co-stars showed his support towards his best pal Ella Rae Wise, 25, while she was in the Big Brother house. Ella admitted that she expected some support from Jordan Brook, 28, his girlfriend Sophie Kasaei, 35, and the rest of the cast - however they failed to post anything on social media. Tensions started to rise as Ella confronted Jordan about it, while Freddie, Junaid Ahmed, 30, and Joe Blackman, 27, listened in on the sun lounges next to them. Dan Edgar, 35 - who is Ella Rae's ex boyfriend - is best mates with Jordan and told her: 'I would be wrong and I would be two-faced Fred, like you've called me in the past, if Dan is sitting with me going through a lot and I start posting about you.' Ella replied: 'Sophie wouldn't stand it if you went on a bender.' Sophie, who was sitting on a sun lounger, said: 'I actually wouldn't mind. I'd be with him, that's why.' Meanwhile Amy Childs, 35, and Lauren Goodger, 38, were watching on from a distance and Amy confessed: 'Oh my God I can't even look!' Ella got up and removed herself from the conversation, to which Jordan told her: 'Don't call my bird desperate.' It comes after a number of TOWIE stars came to blows as they were dragged apart from each other in an explosive showdown during Sunday's episode of the ITV2 programme Sophie, 35, fumed: 'Who is calling me desperate?!' Jordan pointed at Ella and said: 'Her.' As Ella walked off she said: 'You're all meant to be in your 30s, grow the f*** up!' Freddie then chimed in and said: 'It's getting ridiculous.'

Jarrod Bowen gives an insight into his and Dani Dyer's emotional wedding day and reveals what he really thinks about his wife's upcoming stint on Strictly Come Dancing
Jarrod Bowen gave and insight into his and Dani Dyer's emotional wedding day and revealed what he really thinks about her upcoming stint on Strictly. Speaking in the latest episode of Ironcast with Chris Scull and Carlton Cole, the footballer, 28, recalled 'the moment it all felt real' as he teared up. The former Love Island star, 29, and the West Ham captain tied the knot during an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family in June. Jarrod admitted that he 'got bored' waiting around in the morning before the ceremony but it soon hit him when people started arriving. He joked: 'When I saw everyone I was like "oh God, someone has turned the pollen up in here." Jarrod also recounted his wife's dad, Danny Dyer 's speech, and revealed how the EastEnders actor struggled to keep it together. 'He had this script and his hand was shaking, then is lip was going. Then he started talking about me and how close we are and that's what got him,' he laughed. 'I think he was declaring is love for me rather than his little Danny on the day. 'I said it in my speech I think if Danny senior could have been up there and taken my hand in marriage he would have.' Dani was announced as one of the celebrities taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing just a few weeks ago and is already the favourite to win. Giving an insight into his wife's dancing skills, Jarrod added: 'Deep down she is competitive, I know she has that inner drive. 'I have no idea what her dancing is like I've only seen her after a few tequilas. I'm not doing any practising with her. 'I do think she will be good though when she puts her mind to something, she's good.' After the contestants were announced last week, Dani became the early favourite to lift the Glitter Ball trophy with bookies having her at 4/1. Meanwhile, professional football manager and former player Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink comes in last at 25/1 meaning viewers could see him be the first to head home. According to Ladbrokes' figures, YouTuber George Clarke comes in second to Dani at 6/1. The Apprentice's Thomas Skinner and Vicky Pattison became the latest stars to join the ensemble when they confirmed their participation in the BBC show on Thursday. They followed the announcement of trailblazing model and influencer Ellie Goldstein, Drag Race star La Voix and rugby player Chris Robshaw. But it seems Dani in particular already has everyone talking, before the full line-up has even been announced. Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'Dani Dyer is the current pick of this year's Strictly pack, but with contestants still to be announced, we could soon see someone waltz past her to the head of the betting.'
