The Only Way Is Essex star Dan Edgar headed up north amid relationship drama on the ITV reality show.
Dan was spotted out at a launch party before Sunday night’s show was aired, showing his fledgling romance with cast mate Chloe Sims ending in tears.
Dan, 26, attended the launch party of a new coffee and barbers shop, Cult and Coffee, at Salford Quays.
He was pictured with the owners, former Welsh international rugby league player Jordan James and his wife Harriette before heading out in Manchester city centre.
Speaking about his trip, Dan said, “I love Manchester and it’s nice to get away for a bit as I’m surrounded by so much drama at the moment on the show.”
Dan faced backlash after a preview shown during Sunday night's episode showed Chloe sobbing that she was 'fed up of Dan's s***' in a chat with her BFF Pete Wicks.
The reality TV star asked to take Chloe out on their first date before admitting "the date thing did freak me out" - and she broke down in tears before labelling her blossoming relationship with Dan “a nightmare."
This week Chloe put the drama behind her by enjoying a night out at Sketch restaurant and cocktail lounge in London, with her sister Demi, turning heads in black suspender-style shorts.
