TOWIE bringing back two of its axed former cast members for explosive return

Two sacked stars are reportedly being brought back to The Only Way Is Essex in an explosive return to its 2022 series. The show will apparently be bringing back a number of formerly axed stars.

Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows will make a reappearance to the series. Courtney told the Sun newspaper: "I've been doing the show since I was 19, so it's all I know."

She added: "They’re bringing back old faces. I’m not sure who, but because it’s started a bit later, they’ve really put in everything to make it a good series." She concluded: "I think it’s going to be a good one. I think they're going to ramp it up, to be honest."

On her boyfriend George, Chloe said: "He might do some appearances, but not be a proper [cast] member. He might do a little cameo." Last year, TOWIE axed ten cast members. It said: “After more than ten fabulous years following the lives of our ever-growing cast, TOWIE will be evolving with some changes. As it looks ahead to future series’ to come, the next instalment of our BAFTA award winning show returns to Essex to follow a smaller group of cast members.”

They added: “This change allows our cast more time to film their real lives, showing more of their personal passions and professions, alongside their strong bonds and dynamics with family and friends.

“Those who won’t appear regularly on-screen next series will always be part of the TOWIE family and we wholeheartedly thank them for sharing their lives with us in recent years. As always, their wellbeing is of paramount importance to us and we will continue to offer welfare support if needed to all past and present TOWIE cast."

The statement from the bosses said: "We ask and urge all our viewers to think before commenting below, and remember that #thesepeopleareallreal. Thank you to our audience for your continued support. TOWIE will be back soon for it’s 29th series on ITVBe, stay tuned for further announcements.”
