TOWIE stars have huge fight during filming for the show

Over the years we’ve seen finger pointing, screaming matches and drinks thrown left, right and centre – but rarely have things escalated to full on fisticuffs in The Only Way Is Essex.

However, earlier this week it was reported that TOWIE stars Myles Barnett and Taylor Barnett came to blows over Taylor’s girlfriend Chloe Meadows. And now more of the Essex lads have been at it.

This time it’s Lauren Pope’s new boyfriend Jon Clark, his brother Chris, Mike Hassini and TOWIE veteran Mario Falcone involved in a brawl.

The incident occurred when an argument originally between Jon and Mario became heated, leading Chris and Mike to step in.

A witness told a national newspaper, “It was really dramatic – the cameras were rolling the whole time and you’ll definitely see it on the show."

Apparently, Jon accused Mario of ‘digging him out’, probably over the whole texting his ex (Chloe Crowhurst) while dating Lauren situation, which, clearly, didn’t go down too well, as the boys had to be separated by Chris.

“It all went off so quickly, production had to run in and hold them apart so they didn’t hurt each other,” the onlooker continued.

"Our production team had to step in when a scene between four of the boys became heated. No punches were thrown and no one was hurt, however aggressive behaviour during filming will not be tolerated and disciplinary action will be taken if deemed appropriate," a spokesperson for the show added.

The Only Way Is Essex continues Sundays and Wednesdays at 9pm on ITVBe.
