‘Let it go’ fumes Towie’s Dani Imbert as she hits back at claims she ‘used’ ex boyfriend Liam Gatsby to get on show

TOWIE star Dani Imbert has furiously blasted claims that she "used" her ex-boyfriend Liam Gatsby to bag a spot on the show.

The reality star, 26, dropped the F-bomb and warned fans to "let it go" after she was faced with the accusation online.

Dani even claimed she had already agreed to appear on the ITVBe reality show when she was "told" she was going on a date with Liam.

During an Instagram Q&A with fans, Dani was asked: "Did you use Liam to get on Towie?"

But she angrily replied: "I didn't need to use anyone to get on TOWIE respectfully.

"My contract was already signed & delivered before being told I was even ever going on a date with the boy.

"I can't get brought onto a whole show through someone I barely knew, it doesn't even make any sense.

"Also, we've been broken up longer than what we were ever together.

"People gotta let it go now, FFS!"

Dani joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex for series 28, which aired in 2021.

In her first scenes, she was set up on date with Gatsby - real name Liam Blackwell - by her good friend Rem Larue.

The pair hit it off and even said the L-word, with their relationship playing out over the following two series' of the reality show.

Dani and Gatsby's romance was increasingly put under the microscope for the show, however, and they were rocked by rows and cheating rumours.

Fellow Towie star Chloe Brockett was even forced to deny kissing Gatsby after Dani threw out accusations on social media.

"I have never in my life kissed Gatsby, ever," Chloe told her fans in an emotional Instagram video.

Dani also had an explosive row with her friend Roman Hackett, who accused her of having a "fake" relationship with Gatsby.

The couple eventually split in 2022 and deleted each other from social media.

Gatsby was seen on Towie waving goodbye to Essex as he declared he was moving to Los Angeles to start a new life.

Liam now lives in LA and works in real estate. Recently, he confirmed he is also busy developing AI software to help people write witty Instagram captions.

Dani, meanwhile, moved on following their break-up and began dating hunky Essex entrepreneur Reiss Boyce in 2023.

Following their split in December, the couple sparked rumours that they were back together after being spotted on a romantic dog walk.

But Dani never confirmed whether they had reunited and has failed to post any pictures of Reiss on social media since the sighting in January.
