Inside Towie crisis as Pete Wicks and Chloe Sims fall out off camera and unfollow each other on Instagram
TOWIE has been thrown into chaos after a fall-out between Chloe Sims and Pete Wicks has threatened filming for the new series.
Chloe, 40, raised eyebrows this week by unfollowing Pete, 33, on Instagram and removing all traces of him from her page.
Now The Sun can reveal that the former couple are suggesting they won't be able to film scenes together when shooting resumes in June.
A source said: "It could be a disaster for Towie as Chloe is saying she won't be able to film with Pete.
"But I think everyone on the show is worried that by the time filming starts, they'll have made up and all the drama will have happened off camera - not on!"
Pete previously confirmed he and Chloe had been in a secret sexual relationship on and off for two years.
They then sparked rumours they were back together during a cosy red carpet appearance in December.
However around the same time Pete was linked to Celebs Go Dating's Jessika Power, who later said she'd love to join Towie.

We're told neither Chloe or Pete know where they stand with each other right now which is causing tension between them.
An insider added: "Pete doesn't know where all of this has come from. He and Chloe have always been up and down but things between them aren't good right now."
The Sun recently revealed that bosses are keen to fly to an exotic location to film series 30 in June - with Dubai at the top of their list.
A source said: "Producers are keen to make sure the new series is brilliant and a glam new location is just what they need.
"Dubai is at the top of their list and unsurprisingly the cast are hoping it works out. Either way, they all just want to get back to shooting the show."
