The latest series of “The Only Way Is Essex” (TOWIE) has taken an unexpected turn with the surprise return of a show legend who was spotted filming scenes alongside Dan Edgar.
The upcoming series will transport the cast to sunny Cyprus, promising viewers a roller coaster of emotions and unexpected visits. One of the intriguing storylines to unfold involves the recent split between co-stars Dan Edgar and Amber Turner.
Supporting Dan as he navigates the aftermath of the breakup is none other than TOWIE icon Tommy Mallet, 31, who left the popular reality show two years ago amidst a significant character shake-up.
Entrepreneur and fan-favorite Tommy is making a comeback for the 32nd series. In the new episodes, he is seen sharing a moment with his best friend, Dan, 33, as they enjoy drinks. Tommy dons a casual beige fleece and shorts for the scene.
Tommy Mallet became a part of the TOWIE cast in 2014 during the 13th series, becoming the sole new addition of that season. He gained widespread recognition through his relationship with the stunning blonde Georgia Kousoulou, with much of his on-screen narrative revolving around their blossoming romance.
The couple’s journey culminated in their engagement, and they now share an adorable son named Brody Fordham, born on May 5, 2021. Tommy proudly shared this news on Instagram.
Not only has Tommy achieved reality show success, but he has also established a thriving business empire. Beyond collaborating with the brand Belvoir&Co to create a line of eyewear, he runs his own shoe company, attaining multi-millionaire status.
As the new season unfolds, tension escalates between Dan and Amber. A cheating dispute explodes between them while they are filming in Cyprus. In a face-to-face confrontation, Dan accuses Amber, 30, of infidelity on multiple occasions. The couple, who had been together for six years, ended their relationship in May.
The former couple’s disagreements extend beyond their personal issues. They are now embroiled in a dispute over their pet dog, Oliver. Amber currently has custody of Oliver, leading to disagreements over visitation rights for Dan.
The situation has garnered support from their fellow cast members, particularly Dan’s side of the conflict. The close-knit group is rallying around Dan, providing him with a support system as he navigates post-breakup challenges.
