TOWIE’s Junaid Ahmed wept for Amber Turner when she opened her heart over her struggles with boyfriend Dan Edgar.
The reality TV stars were once close but their friendship hit the rocks when Junaid joined the ITVbe show.
And the feud has divided Essex, with Dani Imbert, Junaid, Ella Rae Wise and Roman Hackett in one corner and Amber, Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows in the other.
On Sunday night viewers saw Amber break down in a rare display of emotion as she admitted feeling insecure in her relationship with Dan.
And despite their differences Junaid said it crushed him to see his former pal so upset.
Speaking at the launch of Soap and Glory’s new Peach Please range in London, the star shared: “Can I be really honest? I watched the show on Sunday, the whole Dan and Amber situation, and I got so upset for her.

“I honestly started crying watching them two go through this. You’ve got to remember I’ve been in their home, been friends with them both, we had the best times ever. And it broke my heart to see her upset like that.
“Regardless of anything that’s happened between me and her. I have got a heart and honestly, I would never …”
Juanid then became tearful as he spoke about their fallout, adding: “I call her the Ice Queen.
“I sat there and felt like messaging her but she blocked me on whatsapp.
“As much as we’ve had her differences she loves Dan to bits. I hope it all works out for her.
“I wish Amber all the success, I want her to have her babies, to be happy.”
Amber shared her fears over her relationship and fact Dan, who wants to concentrate on getting his businesses up and running, is yet to propose.

She went on to say: “It’s not nice to have other people look at your relationship and give their opinions and say ‘You can see he doesn’t give a f**k. He’s not that arsed’.
“I just feel like he’s got a bit complacent… I don’t want to not be with him but in the same sense I’m not happy. I just feel like something has to change.”
