A TV insider said: "There's a lot of interest in Chloe, Demi and Frankie right now.
"Undoubtedly they are Towie's biggest stars with Chloe being one of the longest-serving cast members but the idea is for them to get their very own Kardashian-style series.
"Their team has been meeting with TV bosses to discuss the potential show and, as Towie viewers will already know, there's never a dull moment with them."

Chloe, Frankie and Demi first sparked rumours that their future on the show was uncertain when they pulled out of shooting the series opener in the Dominican Republic at the last minute.
The Sun previously revealed the sisters informed bosses they wouldn't be going just days before they were due to fly out.
An insider told how there had been disagreements over some of the new cast members and the Sims sisters' absence did not go unnoticed.
The source said: "Every year the three sisters are top of the list of the returning cast. They're the biggest characters who bring the sex appeal, glamour and good storylines.
"Everyone's talking behind the scenes about why they're missing."
