DANI Imbert branded secret messages between Towie co-stars Junaid and Joe as ‘weird and a red flag’.
In an exclusive first look at an upcoming episode, the star shares her concerns with Ella Rae Wise, Roman Hackett and Jodie Wells.
Speaking to the group, Dani said: “If that was my boyfriend archiving his chats, I’d kind of be like, ‘What are you hiding?’
“I’m sorry, it’s so suspicious. I don’t mean to say Joe and Junaid are sexting or anything, but why are you like, hiding your chats?
“That’s weird – that’s a red flag. If you’re feeling like you’ve got to hide your chat from your boyfriend, it’s all weird.”
The conversation began after Ella Rae revealed: “Junaid did say that he does have to archive his chats with Joe, because Harry will go mad.
“If Harry sees Junaid’s name pop up on Joe’s phone, Harry just loses the plot.”
The Sun revealed earlier this month how Harry Derbidge’s ex Joe had moved on with co-star Junaid just two weeks after splitting.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, TV favourite Junaid, 30, revealed: “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, it will pan out on the show. “I knew Harry and Joe’s relationship was on the rocks prior to coming to Cyprus and being in Cyprus everyone saw it.
“On both parts it didn’t work out, I get that it’s sad 100 per cent and I wish them both well.”
Continuing, Junaid said viewers can expect emotional scenes ahead as he admits his feelings for Joe.
He said: “I sit there and say there is something between me and Joe, which you saw at the end of episode one.
He said: “I sit there and say there is something between me and Joe, which you saw at the end of episode one.
“You can kind of work out from that where we both stand. The next time you see me open up about those feelings for Joe.
“I’m content.”
Meanwhile, Towie star Courtney Green exclusively told The Sun how the cast have rallied around Harry in the wake of his split from Joe.
She said: “Harry’s our best friend, we’ve all been through breakups before and it’s not nice – especially going through a breakup on the show is harder because you’re around people”.
“We love Harry and we’ve always got his back.
“I don’t think you can be friends with an ex, especially when they get with your best friend.”
Fellow star Chloe Meadows said: “I think the worry is, was there any sort of emotional crossover, which isn’t nice to think about because it was so quick.”
She added: “Harry’s going to have to relive it all and it’s not nice. It was about a month ago when all of that Cyprus stuff happened.
“I think everyday it gets slightly easier and it goes in waves.
“Some days he has good days and some days he has bad days. But he will be absolutely fine.”
The Only Way Is Essex airs on ITVBe.
