Viewers were in bits over the emotive scenes, as one fan said: "Never thought I’d get emotionally attached to #towie but I’ve just balled my eyes out watching yaz breakdown WHY ARE NONE OF THE GIRLS BEING THERE FOR HER so shit to watch."

Another person admitted: "that was really hard to watch with Yaz"

And a third person added: "feel awful for yaz, hope she moves on and feels better #towie"

Earlier in the episode, Yaz was in floods of tears with her boyfriend James 'Lockie' Lock, and later she told her mum Lisa: "I feel like I'm losing my friends now, I'm shutting myself off in this flat. I don't feel my normal happy self.

"I hate feeling like this. I feel like everyone hates me."

Her emotional mum replied: "I think we need to go away. There are a few therapists there, I think you have got a few issues you need to deal with, it is worrying me, the outbursts that you're doing.

"We've got to think about what's triggering them, you're not a bad person. We're going to go away and get this all fixed, and get this back to how I know you."

Later, the Towie star called her mum and said she was ready to "go away" and take a break from the show.
