11 Absolute Shockers From Episode 17 Of The Only Way Is Essex

Pete Wicks was sorry again

Remember when Pete Wicks textually cheated on Megan McKenna and went around saying “sorry” to the whole of Essex? He basically needs to do the same to all the people he peed off when they got back together.

He started with Tommy Mallet but he also needs to make a huge apology to Chloe Sims.

Speaking of Tommy…

Tommy stirred things right up

Mr. Mallet made the Chloe / Pete situation a whole heap worse when he told Chloe about a chat he had with Pete.

“I ain’t going for no peace talks,” warned Chloe. Oh dear.

Who can’t handle the truth?

Turns put that Pete’s version of events is verrrrrrrry different to how Chloe remembers things. But who is right? Hmmm.

Chloe vs. Pete - ding ding

The two come face to face at the masquerade ball because of course they did. 

“I miss ya,” said Pete, which boded well.

“I f*cking told you about her, didn’t I?” said Chloe of Megan, which did not.

“You hurt me beyond words.”

Chloe and Pete - the fight

But it ended with the former / once again pals hugging it out - hip hip hooray!

Speaking of broken relationships…

Lauren Pope cried over Jon Clark

Poor Lauren Pope was feeling blue because she heard that Jon Clark had got back with his previous girlfriend.

OMG - could this mean he and Love Island’s Chloe Crowhurst are back on? Because - wow.

Brothers in arms

Chris Clark tried to make things better by explaining things to Pops from Jon’s point of view, saying it was all down to the Mario Falcone situation.
 
But did he make things better?

Lauren cried some more

No. No he did not. 

“I feel like a bit of an idiot,” said Lauren, because everyone told her Jon was not right for her. Including us about a million times. Just saying.

Lauren vs. Jon

Lauren confronted Jon about the rumours. And it turned out they were true - he has been seeing his ex. Ouch.

Jon Clark explained himself

And not very well TBH.

“What she did to you, you’ve now done to me, you know that? You’ve publicly humiliated me,” said Pops.

James ‘Arg’ Argent revealed his true feelings for Gemma Collins

With a bit of prompting from James ‘Diags’ Bennewith (go, Diags).

“I’d be lying if I said there was nothing there, and I do miss her a bit now she’s gone to Tenerife,” admitted Arg.

Yaaaaaaas! The most exciting relationship in Essex is getting back on track. We just hope GC is back from her holiday for the exciting finale episode. See you then.
