TOWIE fans have accused Junaid Ahmed for ‘loving’ the relationship turmoil of Harry Derbidge and Joe Blackman.
In the latest episode, Joe and Junaid were seen chatting about their growing friendship, with Joe airing his frustrations about his romance with Harry.
“It annoys me, because I think if you weren’t here today, Harry would’ve literally just let me be on my own,” said Joe.
“I think that makes me feel ill, Junaid. That ain’t normal.”
He later goes on to share that he and Harry got into an argument just hours after a crisis talks lunch where they promised to work on things.
Joe explains Harry demanded he pay for a £200 bar bill at the end of the night, with no offer to pay it himself.
“This is another form of him punishing me because he’s got the hump,” Joe said.
“I feel like every opportunity he gets, he goes ‘oh, I’m gonna have a go at him for that, and quite frankly I’ve had enough of it.”
While Junaid offered a sympathetic ear to Joe, fans believed he was secretly revelling in the drama of it all.
On the clip shared on Towie’s Instagram, one viewer wrote: “Junaid is LOVING this. He’s so twisted.”
“Junaid is loving it you can just tell,” said a second, while a third noted, “Not junaid smiling from within”
A fourth said: “And here’s me thinking Junaid redeemed himself last season” while a fifth said: “Twisted Juniad is lapping this up!”
“Does Junaid fancy Joe? I feel like he does,” noted another – which may have been true.
Joe and Harry have since split since the scenes were filmed, and The Sun revealed that Joe moved on with Junaid just two weeks later.
Junaid has since spoken out about his romantic life, saying it was progressing in the right direction.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Junaid said: “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.”
Junaid hinted there will be plenty of emotional scenes as he admits his feelings for Joe.
He continued: “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.”
