TOWIE’S Dan Edgar is set to ‘take a break’ from the show – despite bosses battling to bring him back after dumping Chloe Sims for ex Amber Turner.
The 29-year-old lothario was at the centre of some major drama on the last series of the ITVBe reality show after getting together with pal Chloe, 36.
Despite her pals warning her about Dan, Chloe followed her heart only to have it crushed as Dan reunited with ex-girlfriend Amber, 26.
The move has led to Dan being ostracised by the rest of the cast, and he is keen to take a break from the show.
A source revealed to The Sun Online: “Hardly any of the cast are talking to Dan.
“Everyone is furious he broke Chloe’s heart and then went back to Amber.
“He’s considering taking a break from the show to let the dust settle.”
Towie will return later this year, and bosses are keen for Dan to return to film a showdown with Chloe, but the hunk hasn’t given them his final decision yet.
The source added: “He isn’t sure he wants to go back and face the wrath of everyone – he’d rather enjoy his relationship with Amber instead.
“Dan has really upset a lot of people. The fallout has been much bigger than he expected.
“Chloe is not only a fan favourite but also hugely popular with the cast and crew. She is TOWIE’s matriarch and practically everyone has sided with her.
“Even Dan’s former best mate Diags is struggling to forgive him. He doesn’t want to go back into a s*** storm.”
Speaking to The Sun Online recently, Amber insisted her on-off boyfriend was a “changed man”.
She said: “Sometimes you have to go through really low points in life, and Dan admits what happened was a real low for him.”
“He lost me. I was gone and he wasn’t in the best place.
“When you lose someone it makes you realise how much you want them and need them in your life.
“He’s 30 next year and that puts a lot of stuff into perspective. He’s not someone in their mid-20s anymore, he’s mature and serious about life.
“He’s so happy and focused on his future. I’m excited for the future with him.”
