Towie in shock love triangle as Jordan’s secret affair with new cast member is revealed in explosive row
TOWIE newbie Lauren Bayford will claim that she had a fling with under-fire cast member Jordan Brooks in scenes set to air next week.
The confession will divide the cast as Jordan was dating Chloe Brockett and Ella Rae Wise at the time.
A source told The Sun: “Lauren is a redhead and she’s gorgeous, she is going to make quite an impact on TOWIE by claiming that she and Jordan had a thing last year.
“Viewers saw Jordan on dates with Chloe and enjoying snogs with Ella – but friends close to Lauren claim that she was seeing him in the background the whole time off camera.
“Now Lauren wants a chance to have her say.
“The drama with Jordan and with Chloe isn’t just about them – it is also about Lauren who felt she was kept hidden in the background.”
The source adds: “Lauren knows Junaid and Saff and is going to be a great new member of the cast.”
Lauren’s confession is sure to cause shockwaves as Jordan is now loved up with Geordie Shore reality star Sophie Kasaei – and the pair have been dating since late last year.
“Jordan was a single lad at the time, so he’s of course completely entitled to date and see whoever he wants and some people could say he has done nothing wrong at all,” says the source.
“But either way he is being accused of playing the Essex field a bit too much and more than a few cast aren’t too impressed with his behaviour.”
Last month a divide in the cast was revealed when Jordan and Chloe appeared to unfollow each other on Instagram.
Chloe was later seen having a sly dig at her ex as his romance with Sophie continued to heat up.
Opening up on the aftermath of their fractured friendship, Chloe was seen driving her car around Essex as she took the chance to have her say.
Talking of Jordan she told her pal: “I’ve got to be honest I did block him on social media.”
Addressing Jordan’s new relationship she added: “I have seen small snippets – it’s a quick transition, that’s all I’m saying.
“He loved Ella, he loved me, he loved Ella again and now he loves Sophie.
“I wish I had his capability to love people as quickly as he does.”
