Onlookers were horrified as things turned violent between the reality stars, who are at loggerheads after comments Gatsby made about Pete's girlfriend Shelby Tribble.

Shelby, 22, was among the shocked spectators as their war of words turned physical.

Attempting to diffuse the situation, peacemaker Tommy pulled Pete away from Gatsby as he continued to hurl insults at the 29-year-old.

Towie viewers watched on Sunday as the pair argued in a bar after Pete confronted the rapper over his incessant bragging about Shelby "grinding" on him.

Pete raged: "You danced with a bird. If I had a pound every time I danced with a bird bruv, I'd be a f***ing millionaire.

"So why is that an issue? I don't have an issue with it and I'm the one who is supposed to be seeing her.

"I don't know whether you ain't used to having decent looking birds anywhere near ya."

Gatsby then hit back: "Obviously I do."

But Pete didn't let him finish, seething: "You couldn't pull a muscle let alone a bird, so don't start walking around like you're some sort of big man."

Riled up, Gatsby then hit back: "If anything I think you should be saying thank you to me. At least you know what your bird's like.

"Listen you might be Pete the pirate from the Caribbean but I'm the King of Essex."

"The King of Essex? No one knows who you f***ing are!" Pete slammed.

He blasted: "Listen, do you not think I have models grinding up on me f***ing all over the world? Do you think I actually care about this situation?

“You’re nothing special for me to go around talking about. I swear on my life I do not care about you grinding up on me.”
