Olivia Attwood is officially joining the cast of TOWIE and it doesn't take her long to get stuck into the drama.
The ex Love Island star, 28, "loses it" in some of her first scenes as she rows with Tom McDonnell, Shelby Tribble and Sam Mucklow.
Sam told Mirror Online that Olivia takes Clelia Theodorou's side when she falls out with Shelby in the new series, which starts on Sunday.
Speaking the morning after the huge row, Sam said: "She lost her marbles.
"Olivia has been mates with Shelby for a long time, she's only known Clelia for a little while. She's only heard one side of the story but whether she's made her mind up already I couldn't give a f***.
"It's gonna be a mad first episode for sure."
Sam and Shelby are officially a couple after getting together this summer, and he's more than happy to take her side.
He added: "Olivia doesn't mean anything to me but Shelby is conscious about them because she's been friends with them for a long time.
"It's easy for me to say I don't care what they think of me because it's the truth but Shelby has her insecurities and she doesn't want people thinking about her in a certain way."
Sam revealed how he's spent the whole summer with Shelby and they're getting serious, even talking about having kids.
But their closeness has driven Clelia away and he says she won't even pick up the phone to her best friend.
Sam continued: "We're yet to find out what her problem is. That's all gonna unravel because Clelia has ignored both of us.
"She won't take a call or a text and hasn't done for the last six weeks. She's saving it for the show."
*TOWIE returns to ITVBe this Sunday at 9pm
