The REAL reason Chloe Sims is still not on speaking terms with sisters Demi and Frankie as bitter family feud rumbles on
The real reason behind Chloe Sims bitter two year feud with her sisters Demi and Frankie has been revealed. Chloe, 43, Frankie, 30, Demi, 28, their brother Charlie, 33, and his fiancée Georgia Shults, also 33, ventured to LA to film their own reality show House of Sims in 2023. However, only a couple of series in a big brawl between the sisters played out on-screen and led to Demi and Frankie jetting back to the UK and removing all traces of their siblings off Instagram. Two years on, it seems the trio are still not on speaking terms, and it could be down to Chloe's closeness with her brother Charlie's fiancée Georgia. A source told The Sun: 'Frankie and Demi feel like they have been replaced by Georgia. 'It's as if Chloe and Georgia are sisters now, and Frankie and Demi are strangers to them. Frankie and Demi basically felt like they were pushed out, and Chloe has no time for them anymore. 'They expected this fallout to have been resolved by now, but Chloe's closeness with Georgia has only made the gulf between the sisters even wider.' MailOnline has contacted Chloe, Frankie and Demi's representatives for comment. In 2024, Demi explained that the argument stemmed from admin and money. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, she said: 'My side was that there was an argument over the Wi-Fi bill because we all needed our names of the bill to get credit to live in LA... 'Charlie, Chloe and Georgia all went out to put their names on and me and Frankie were left in the dark a little bit. Me, Charlie, Chloe and Frankie were all paying evenly for this house and Georgia wasn't paying... 'We felt like "why is Georgia getting the credit and we're not?" So that's what it came from, which I feel was a fair argument.' Telling her side of the story, the TV star remarked when her sister Frankie, 28, and Charlie, 31, had the argument she did 'try to stay out of it' despite the argument involving her too. Yet the quarrels increased tensions between the siblings, at which point some 'teams' within the family where formed. 'But in the end they had already formed a team, so I obviously did take Frankie's side because it was morally wrong,' Demi said. 'So that is my side, I'm a fair person and I'll always say what's wrong and what's right and in my eyes that wasn't right.' Meanwhile, Chloe told MailOnline that she's 'deeply hurt' by her family's 'heartbreaking' fallout. Chloe quit TOWIE after 12 years and relocated from her beloved Brentwood in Essex to Los Angeles after her family's reality series was signed to OnlyFans channel OFTV. But the 'pressure' of moving overseas and setting up a new life has impacted her close family more than Chloe could have ever imagined, with the TV personality admitting during her darkest days she even threatened to quit Hollywood and fly back home. Chloe revealed the extent of their feud and how she was 'shocked' by her sister's unforgivable remarks, which has left her feeling tense and isolated. She said: 'The show was an incredible opportunity but, in a way, it has come with some downfalls. It has caused a big rift with my sisters. We are not on talking terms today. 'We haven't spoken since they left LA and that would have been in October/November time. I have not seen or spoken to them since so filming series three will be awkward. 'To hear some of the things they said to me was really heartbreaking and I genuinely wasn't expecting it... I was shocked to be honest. 'This is not a comfortable subject for me at all… They are obviously my little sisters but things that have gone down and things that have been said, I'm not going to repeat them, but things have hurt me deeply. 'I find it very difficult to get over things when it's gone too far so I don't know what the future holds but we're locked into another two seasons, and we have to go ahead with it... in the meantime, I'm on my own... but I do have Charlie.'

Real reason behind Chloe Sims bitter two year feud with siblings and the new ‘sister' who has replaced them
THEY appeared to be the UK's answer to the Kardashians with a reality show documenting their big, glamorous move to Hollywood - but two years later, Chloe Sims and her estranged sisters Frankie and Demi are still not even on speaking terms after a very public fallout. While the spat between the siblings played out on their short-lived series House of Sims, now insiders are revealing the real reason things turned so sour between the former Towie brood, and the person that came between them. 10 10 Those in the know claim that 43 year-old Chloe's closeness with her brother Charlie's fiancee Georgia Shults, 33, who also moved out to LA with the gang in 2022, is the main factor behind the deep rift between the once-tight sisters. 'Frankie and Demi feel like they have been replaced by Georgia,' a friend of the family tells The Sun. SIBLING RIVALRY 'It's as if Chloe and Georgia are sisters now, and Frankie and Demi are strangers to them. Frankie and Demi basically felt like they were pushed out, and Chloe has no time for them anymore. 'They expected this fallout to have been resolved by now, but Chloe's closeness with Georgia has only made the gulf between the sisters even wider.' Chloe, Frankie, Demi, Charlie and Georgia upped sticks to LA three years ago after signing a six-figure deal deal with OnlyFans' OFTV to film a series about their efforts to make it in America. The show proved a hit with viewers, with OnlyFans renewing the show for season two and Netflix even picking up the rights to become the series' second streaming home. Fans were hooked on the drama as the sisters fell out amid the pressures of setting up their new lives in LaLa Land, culminating in an epic screaming match while filming the second series. TV BATTLE After weeks of simmering tensions, things finally came to a head after Frankie and Demi learned that only Chloe, Charlie and Georgia's names were put on the WiFi bill for the family's apartment - making it difficult for them to build a credit score in their new country. They were especially incensed as all four siblings were paying equally towards the apartment, yet Georgia wasn't contributing financially and still getting credit. There is still so much bad blood in the water. A source close to the Sims clan The ensuing clash led to drinks being thrown, Chloe branding her sisters 'evil users' and Frankie and Demi leaving LA for good - ultimately putting paid to a planned third series of the show. 'That was back in January 2024 and eighteen months later, there is still so much bad blood in the water,' explains our source. 'Frankie and Demi basically feel like Chloe got too big for her boots after they moved to the States and started to believe her own hype. When they called her out on it, she chose their brother and Georgia over them because they never stood up to her or gave her a reality check. PICKING SIDES 'It didn't help that Chloe, Charlie and Georgia all decided to stay out in the States, despite their show not coming back, whereas Frankie and Demi have no interest in returning. This has only made the chasm between them all even deeper - it's essentially become two different camps. 'Chloe picking Charlie is one thing, he's one of the siblings at the end of the day, but they feel so hurt by her tightness with Georgia, who isn't related to any of them by blood. 10 'They feel like Georgia should have done more to heal the rift between the sisters, but they believe she's made it worse because she tells Chloe what she wants to hear. 'Charlie and Georgia have always been happy to act like it's The Chloe Sims Show and the rest of them are supporting players, whereas Frankie and Demi didn't tolerate that. They believe she treated them like they should be grateful to her for their success and fame.' Pals in Chloe and Georgia's camp, however, tell a different story. Family is about more than just DNA. Georgia gives Chloe the sisterly support she doesn't get from Frankie and Demi. A family friend 'Chloe doesn't expect Demi and Frankie to kiss her a*** but she was on Towie first and did pave the way for them to have a platform, yet she doesn't feel like they have ever acknowledged that. 'SCAPEGOAT' FURY 'With Georgia, she feels like she gets the sisterly love and support she's not had from Frankie and Demi. Georgia always has her back and sometimes 'family' is about more than just sharing the same DNA. As for Georgia, she feels like Frankie and Demi are making her the scapegoat. 'Yes, Chloe and Georgia are incredibly close, but it's not her fault that the sisters have fallen out, ' explains our insider. 'She's not there to play referee in a family feud. She's always been tighter with Chloe than Frankie and Demi, but any disputes between the sisters are between them and not her. 'Of course Georgia thinks it's sad that the siblings aren't on speaking terms, yet she doesn't believe it's her job to fix that. 'She has her own relationship with Charlie to focus on, as well as own brand as a podcaster and beauty influencer, so she doesn't have time to fixate on the family tensions.' SPEAKING OUT While The Sun has reached out to reps for Chloe and her sisters, last year, Chloe admitted she had regrets over the rift. They're family and the last people I expected to have a falling out with, ' she said. 'Obviously, I regretted my actions because I don't want to be in that headspace, all stressed out and arguing. I just want a nice, easy life." She also explained that she has changed a lot since moving Stateside, saying "It sounds really weird but I've realised that Chloe from TOWIE doesn't exist any more." Meanwhile, when quizzed on whether she has had any contact with Chloe late last year, Frankie said: We are out of the loop so everything is pretty much the same as how it was.' THE FUTURE So what hope is there for that the Sims sisters might put this ugly beef behind them? 'Never say never, but right now there is no sign of a peace deal on the horizon,' says our insider. "If things carry on the way they are, I wouldn't be surprised if they never speak again." 'Chloe feels like her sisters have been really nasty to her, and she's all about the positive LA lifestyle now. She loves them because they are her sisters, but she doesn't really like them as people. She doesn't want any toxicity in her life.' 'Meanwhile, Frankie and Demi feel like Chloe has lost touch with her roots and got lose in a plastic Hollywood bubble. 'Nobody seems to want to budge or bend on this one, and as long as that's the case, it's a complete stalemate. 'Ultimately it's really sad because, even if they do make up one day, they can't get back all this lost time together.'

English Ivy, scientifically known as Hedera helix, is a versatile and hardy evergreen vine commonly found in gardens, landscapes, and indoor settings. Originating from Europe and Western Asia, it is widely appreciated for its lush, green foliage and ability to cover walls, trellises, and ground surfaces. Key Characteristics: Foliage: English Ivy has glossy, dark green leaves that can be lobed or unlobed, depending on the variety and maturity of the plant. Growth Habit: This plant is a vigorous climber, using aerial rootlets to attach itself to surfaces. It can also spread along the ground, creating dense mats of foliage. Flowers and Fruits: Although not commonly noticed, English Ivy produces small, greenish-yellow flowers in late summer to early fall. These are followed by black or dark purple berries, which are toxic to humans but provide food for birds. Uses: Ground Cover: Ideal for preventing soil erosion and covering large areas with minimal maintenance. Climbing Vine: Perfect for adding greenery to walls, fences, and trellises, providing both aesthetic appeal and privacy. Indoor Plant: Popular as a houseplant due to its adaptability to low light conditions and ease of care. Care Tips: Light: Thrives in partial to full shade but can tolerate some sun, especially in cooler climates. Water: Prefers moist, well-drained soil but is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Pruning: Regular pruning helps control its growth and prevents it from becoming invasive. Soil: Adaptable to a variety of soil types, though it prefers slightly alkaline to neutral pH levels. Cautions: Invasiveness: In some regions, English Ivy is considered invasive due to its aggressive growth habit. It can outcompete native plants and damage structures if not properly managed. Toxicity: All parts of the plant contain compounds that can be toxic if ingested by humans and pets. Handling the plant may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.

Chloe Sims gives fans a tour of her huge new LA apartment after months spent searching for perfect home
CHLOE Sims gave her fans a tour of her huge new LA apartment after months spent searching for the perfect home. The former ITVBe star declared that she decided to make her move across the world to California 'more permanent'. 9 9 9 Chloe, 43, first rose to fame in 2011 on The Only Way is Essex when she was introduced as the cousin of Joey Essex. She was the longest-serving cast member on the hit reality show before finally departing in 2021 to start a new chapter after over a decade. Now, the star took to social media to celebrate the fact that she finally owns her very own home in Los Angeles. At the top of her Instagram grid page was a new behind-the-scenes video to Natasha Bedingfield 's hit track Unwritten - which was famously used in the iconic LA-based MTV reality series, The Hills. In the clip, her car drove past the famous Four Seasons hotel on the prestigious Doheney Drive in Beverly Hills. She later gave fans a tour around the new apartment, which contained a huge open-plan kitchen and living area. The walls looked absolutely pristine in the newly renovated living area which was also decked out with stylish wooden floorboards. Chloe looked casual as she donned a yellow t-shirt with baggy summer trousers and black sandals. She captioned the video: "New home!" along with a key emoji. "After living here for a while I decided to make it more permanent! Massive thank you to @zolakanwal for searching for months to find me the perfect home!" Inside Chloe Sims' lavish birthday party with famous cousin, Towie legends and Rita Ora The former reality star added: "Let's decorate!! #newhome #renovation." The clip was also emblazoned with the caption: "So this happened. L.A era! Our new home," with a yellow heart emoji. A year after quitting Towie she starred in her own show on the OnlyFans streaming network, OFTV, which was titled House of Sims. This was alongside her family Demi, Frankie, and brother Charlie as the quartet tried to make it big in LA. Joey Essex's famous exes Sam Faiers - Joey dated Towie co-star Sam Faiers from 2011. The pair were one of the original Essex duos, and were together on and off for three years before ending the relationship for good in September, 2014. Amy Willerton - Joey was rumoured to be dating his I'm A Celeb co-star Amy Willerton in 2013, when they both appeared on the show together. The romance soon fizzled out afterwards and Willerton, who won the title of Miss Universe Great Britain said she found it difficult. Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper, she said: "The attention after we left the show was really hard for me. While Joey had a strong management team behind him, I didn't really have anybody in my corner." Stephanie Pratt - Made In Chelsea star and US born socialite, Stephanie Pratt, dated Joey for three months. They fell for each other while appearing in Celebs Go Dating and shared a steamy kiss in Joey's swimming pool. But he dumped her in October 2016 for making him "spend too much time in Chelsea". Lorena Medina - Joey met model Lorena Medina on MTV reality show Ex On The Beach in 2019. Their relationship seemed to be going well after Joey showed her around his hometown of Chigwell in Essex. But the pair split in February 2020. Lorena had moved into his home in Chigwell, Essex, in September 2019, but they had a furious bust-up after he was snapped entering singer Rita Ora's home in the early hours of the morning. Rita Ora - Joey's ex Lorena revealed to The Sun that she dumped Joey after he spent a wild night out with Rita Ora early in 2020. He was holed up for 13 hours in Rita's mansion after the pair had tried to avoid being seen together by taking separate cars between venues. However, the pair have denied that there was anything romantic between them. Joey said: "We have known each other for years. She's a nice girl but we're just friends." Vanessa Bauer - Joey was rumoured to have had a brief romance with Dancing on Ice pro skater Vanessa Bauer during his stint on the hit ITV show in 2023. Rumours of the pair's relationship circled for months in the lead up to the show airing, with Vanessa exclusively denying the whispers to the Sun in November 2022. The pair came runners-up during the final in March - and while it seemed like they were close on the show, it appeared to have fizzled out shortly after. By May 2023, Joey confirmed he was single and said he could not see a future for them after the final. The sisters had a huge falling out on the show as they quit LA and fled to the UK, whilst Chloe opted to stay and try and break America. At the time, a source told The Sun: "Chloe's fallen out with her sisters big time. "They've gone their separate ways after a huge fight broke out in LA, where they'd been filming the show. 'Chloe's decided to stay out there while Frankie and Demi have left her and headed back home to Essex to pursue their own careers." 9 9 9 9 9 9

Inside celebrity holiday hotspot that's a favourite of Dua Lipa and Chloe Sims
Celebrities definitely know how to party but now a new destination is proving more popular than Ibiza. Famous stars like Dua Lipa and Chloe Sims from The Only Way is Essex have all holidayed there and it's less pricey too While Ibiza in Spain is still the top celebrity vacation spot, leading in both celebrity visits and 20million Instagram tags, it's not the only party destination attracting the 'in crowd'. A recent study by Otherworld has identified the top celebrity-approved holiday spots of 2025 based on confirmed celebrity sightings from 2023 to 2025. These destinations were ranked using Instagram hashtag counts, Google searches, number of fine dining venues, and average cost per night at a 5-star hotel. And while the Dominican Republic came in second, you may be surprised by which destination slipped into third. Tulum in Mexico has a spectacular coastline, overlooks the Caribbean Sea and has welcomed famous holidaymakers including Lottie Moss and Austin Butler to name just a few. It's slightly more popular on Instagram than the Dominican Republic, with 9.4 million tags. But what really sets it apart is the cost, at $251 per night - or £186 - for a five-star hotel, making it the most budget-friendly luxury spot on this list. However, some visitors warn this magical paradise is losing its appeal because it's becoming overrun with tourists. Tulum attracts close to two million visitors every year - a number expected to rise sharply following the opening of Tulum International Airport. Travel experts over at Lonely Planet still hail the destination for its 'cobalt water', stunning beaches, and close proximity to ancient Mayan ruins as well as the underground world of cenotes. Often dubbed 'the new Dubai' by the flock of influencers flying out there to impress their fans. You can fly to Tulum, Mexico from London, Manchester and Birmingham - with most routes including a stopover in New York. A spokesperson from Otherworld commented on the study: 'Some places attract stars because they're remote and private, others because they're easy to post about. What's interesting is how much that mix varies. "You've got destinations where everything's built around luxury, and others where it's about vibe and visibility. That difference is shaping how people, celebrity or not, think about where they want to go next.' Meanwhile, Ibiza, Spain is one of the top celebrity-approved vacation spots of 2025, with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kendall Jenner spotted there in the last two years. The spot has over 20million Instagram tags, and offers the most fine dining options (136). Five-star hotels average $695 a night, which is less than many other luxury destinations. The Dominican Republic stands out for its number of luxury stays, with over 3,200 resorts and villas, more than any other place here. It may not be as Instagram-famous as Ibiza, but it still pulls strong celebrity interest, including Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. At $359 per night, it also offers some of the lowest five-star rates.
