After Megan McKenna raged at Pete Wicks for betraying her, we look back at the biggest Towie bust-ups of all time
From drink swilling to brutal catfights, the Towie stars certainly don't hold back when they feel wronged
THE dramatic spat between TOWIE’S former power couple Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks is all anyone can talk about at the moment.
Viewers watched on in shock as a fuming Megan went to town on Pete in last night’s episode after it came out he’d been sexting his ex and messaging TEN other girls behind her back.
But despite Megan proving she’d one of the feistiest Essex girls around, these two aren’t the only pair who have come to blows on the show.
From drink swilling to brutal catfights, we’re counting down TOWIE’s ten biggest bust-ups of all time.
Prepare yourself for some seriously harsh insults and even a full-on fist fight.
#10 The time Ricky got dumped…
What’s a TOWIE series finale without an explosive row? Well series 13 definitely delivered when fiery couple Ricky Rayment and Jess Wright came to blows at Jasmin Walia’s glitzy Diwali party.
When a fuming Jess accused her boyfriend of flirting with a girl on Twitter, he initially denied the claims before finally admitting: “I haven’t been in a good place with you, so I have been flirting with other girls.”
After a lot of raised voices and aggressive hand waving, Jess decided she wasn’t about to be 'taken for a mug' telling a sheepish Ricky: “We are done... forever.”
#9 The time Kirk called Maria an extra…
Kirk Norcross has had his fair share of on-screen spats, but the most dramatic has to be the time the reality star bumped into his ex Lauren Pope and her best pal Maria Fowler.
After dumping Lauren a few weeks before, the star was awkwardly caught out by his ex while on a date with none other than Lucy Meck.
When Maria called Kirk 'a mug' for disrespecting her pal, he wasn’t having any of it and told her to 'shut her mouth' before hitting her with the killer blow: “You’re a f****** extra.”
#8 The time Lucy swilled Mario…
Things got a little bit messy for Mario Falcone when he was left drenched in red wine following a bust-up with his fuming ex-girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh.
After a seriously heated row about cheating rumours, Lucy told her ex: “You literally make my skin crawl”, to which he replied: “Likewise.”
But it was Lucy who got to deliver the final line: “After I wasted two years, I’m not the mug, you are!” before proving it’s never a good idea to serve red wine at a White Party and soaking her ex.
#7 The time it got very sweary between Tommy and Diags
St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in Essex didn’t go to plan when Diags Bennewith suggested pal Tommy Mallet might have cheated on Georgia Kousoulou, and all hell broke loose.
When Tommy and Georgia overheard Diags saying that his girlfriend, Fran Parman, thought he was covering up for his mate, Tommy charged over to the couple and blasted them for being 'snakes'.
The fight all got too much for Georgia who shouted: “Don't accuse my boyfriend of cheating and then run off. Stand there and look at me in the eye and say he's done something,” before storming away herself.
#6 The time there was a catfight in the middle of the dancefloor…
Who could forget short-time TOWIE star Grace Andrew's explosive argument with Fran Parman and Georgia Kousoulou during a night out in Essex?
The trio got their fair share of stares from shocked onlookers after Grace screamed at the girls accusing them of not being real friends.
“I couldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you”, the star shouted at her former pals before the dramatic run-in ended with Fran storming off set.
#5 The time Lydia FINALLY had enough...
Lydia Bright has had a turbulent relationship with James Argent over the years and the pair have broken up and reconciled more times than we care to remember.
But over the summer she looked like she’d finally had enough when the two ran into each other on a beach in Mallorca, sparking an all-might row.
The star delivered some home truths, shouting at her ex: “You made me hate you. When I look at you, I despise you. I just can’t get my head around it. I never understand it.”
That said, it didn't stop the on-and-off pair from sharing a night of passion while they were on the Spanish island...
#4 The time Chloe went IN on the Wrights…
Fiery Chloe Sims is definitely not one to sugarcoat her words and this has landed her in quite a few bust-ups over the years, but the nightclub slanging match with on-off boyfriend Elliott Wright has to be the biggest.
After splitting with Elliott a month before, the brunette beauty gave her ex a rather cold reception when he confronted her in a nightclub about rumours she’d cheated on him.
But the silent treatment didn’t last long and Chloe exploded on Elliott screaming: "Go away. I don’t want to talk to you… Get out my face! Hypocrite! Leave! Hypocrite! Go."
It was left to poor Vas to try and separate them.

#3 The time Gemma dragged Bobby into it…
Best pals Bobby Norris and Gemma Collins are no strangers to a slanging match, but viewers were left mouths agape after a sunny pool party turned nasty.
When Gemma confronted Lauren Pope and Vas J Morgan for impersonating her, Bobby was firmly by her side and it looked like it was going to be a pretty even fight.
But when Bobby failed to stand up for ‘the GC’ she didn’t take it very well and dropped the bombshell that Bobby hadn’t been so nice about Lauren himself.
After screaming: "Don’t throw me under the bus", Bobby chased Gem around the pool where she then greeted him with a large drink to the face. Burn.
#2 The time Lucy turned up uninvited…
When an excited Lauren Goodger went out to celebrate her engagement with new fiance Mark Wright, she probably wasn’t expecting to be hit with a rather awkward bombshell.
In typical TOWIE style, the happy occasion turned sour when an uncomfortable Lucy Meck turned up uninvited to reveal she’d spent the night with Mark just a few weeks before.
The brutal spat saw Lucy blast Mark for 'ruining too many people’s lives' before Arg gave the group some sound advice: “I think we should all call it a night”.
Probably for the best…
#1 The time Joey and Ricky took it outside…
The biggest TOWIE fight of all time HAS to go to everybody’s favourite reality star, Joey Essex, who came to blows with newbie Ricky Rayment at the relaunch of Lauren Goodger’s salon.
The extremely heated exchange ended in punches being thrown after Joey accused Ricky of talking about him behind his back.
Ricky then challenged Joey to a fight shouting: “If you want to whack me up, just whack me up right now.”
When Joey’s sister Frankie tried to break up the argument, Ricky then insulted her as he stormed out of the salon, which led to Joey chasing him outside and the pair finding themselves in a full-blown fist-fight. Ouch.
