Olivia Attwood, 29, Nicole Bass, 28, and Clelia Theodorou, 19, came under fire once again on Sunday’s TOWIE, as they were hit with more accusations of bullying.
Viewers took to Twitter to describe how they felt ‘uncomfortable’ watching the trio throw insults at their much younger cast mate Chloe Brockett, 19.
The row first occurred when the group waded into a row between Chloe and Ella-Rae Wise, after she had slept with her former BFF’s ex boyfriend, Jack McDermott.
