AN explosive new Towie feud has erupted over claims Diags is getting "special treatment" from producers.
This morning, the ITVBe cast were pictured arriving at Heathrow Airport to board a flight to Bali for their lavish away series.
Saffron Lempriere, Chloe Meadows and Roman Hackett were among the stars who beamed ahead of their 17-hour journey.
However, The Sun can reveal last-minute talks were held after the cast complained that the girlfriend of Towie's longest-serving cast member was going on the trip.
It's amid claims Harry Derbidge's boyfriend Joe Blackman and Jordan Brook's girlfriend Sophie Kasaei were not invited by show bosses.
Insiders claim Diags - whose real name is James Bennewith - has been allowed to bring his partner Jodie Wells.

They say it's heightened tension behind the scenes between Diags and his ex Elma Pazar.
A source told The Sun: "Diags spoke to bosses about Jodie joining the Towie cast in Bali.
"Producers were more than happy as it's bound to create juicy storylines for the abroad series - but Elma is fuming.
"Up until the eleventh hour, Elma was threatening not to fly out with the rest of the cast.

"It's also upset Harry and Jordan who weren't allowed to bring their partners with them.
"The decision has caused a massive divide and is likely to make for a very awkward flight to Bali."
Our pictures show Elma putting on a brave face as she messed around in front of photographers at the airport.
She flung her leg in the air and raised her hand to show a piece sign as she wheeled her luggage trolley to security.
Meanwhile fresh-faced Ella Rae Wise looked downcast as she walked alone through the airport.
Courtney Green flashed a smile, with Dani Imbert seen embracing pal Harry.
The Sun has approached Towie for comment.
