The latest series of TOWIE has seen more beef than a McDonald’s triple cheeseburger. Aside from the fallout from Pete Wicks and Chloe Sims’ secret fling and a certain someone’s (ahem) long-standing feud with Amy Childs, some of the most dramatic slanging matches have been between Chloe Brockett, Ella Rae Wise and Love Island ’s Olivia Attwood.
Even I got a bashing on social media for not jumping to Chloe’s defence after witnessing a recent row between her, Liv, Nicole Bass and Clelia Theodorou. Jeez.
And when I get the goss from Ella’s bestie, Kelsey Stratford, 19, she tells me that she’s happily avoided most of the agg this series. “I thought everyone would’ve chilled out after lockdown but it’s made it worse!” she says. She also reveals she’s relieved to have made up with former pal Chloe B, saying she’ll be “civil” with her despite the fact she doesn’t approve of Chloe’s fling with Ella’s ex-boyfriend.
Here, special needs tutor Kelsey reveals what opening up about her eight-year-old sister Kennedy’s illness has meant to her, what kind of man she’s looking for and who she thinks could be next to have a bust-up on the show…
Hi Kelsey! How have you found filming this series?
I’ve really enjoyed it because it’s been drama-free for me. And I’ve made amends with Chloe Brockett, so I feel like a weight’s been lifted off my shoulders.
How did you make amends?
