Towie thrown into chaos as best friends are ‘no longer speaking’ and unfollow each other on Instagram ahead of Bali trip

THEY were once as thick as thieves, but Towie star Junaid Ahmed is feuding with his former BFFs.

The 29-year-old has been unfollowed on Instagram by Chloe Brockett and Saffron Lempriere just weeks before the cast fly out to Bali.

Simmering tension off-screen has split the once-close group who are now no longer on speaking terms.

Fans will soon see Junaid come face to face with Saffron as they film the abroad series, while suspended Chloe remains in Essex.

Dani Imbert, Junaid's closest friend, has been forced into the middle of the spat and refuses to take sides.

A source told The Sun: "Fans spotted the cast members no longer following each other on Instagram after noticing a massive divide in the friendship group.

"Some of the girls have been questioning Junaid's authenticity and are worried about how much they can trust him.

"Something's triggered these thoughts off-screen and fans will have to wait until they all air their issues when filming starts up again."

The Sun has reached out to Junaid, Chloe and Saffront for comment.

It comes after stories in The Sun claimed Saffron, 32, got embroiled in a bitter row with her rival Gemma Collins, 42, at the Dog and Pickle in Ongar, Essex.

It was also revealed that Chloe had been stopped from going on the Bali trip after causing chaos with explosive cast feud.

The 23-year-old was suspended last year after a scrap towards two cast members on separate occasions.

The show will kick off the new series in the stunning location of Bali in March.
