Dean Ralph suspended from Towie under ‘suspicious circumstances’ and won’t return this series
The 28-year-old was sent home from filming in Newcastle after a "serious" incident
DEAN Ralph has been suspended from Towie under "suspicious circumstances" and will not be returning for the rest of the series.
The 28-year-old only joined the ITVBe show this year, but The Sun Online can exclusively reveal he was sent home from filming in Newcastle, after a "serious" incident.
Dean was sent packing from the cast trip up North over the weekend, after infuriating bosses.
A source said: "Dean was sent away from Towie in disgrace.
"What he did is a closely guarded secret but it was serious enough for bosses to take immediate action.
"Dean was told he was suspended from filming and left Newcastle to go back to Essex."
A representative for Towie added: "We can confirm that Dean has been suspended from the show for the remainder of the series."
It's the second scandal to hit the show in just one week, after co-star Jon Clark was sent home from the same Newcastle trip.
On Thursday The Sun Online revealed the 28-year-old had slapped his pal Diags, after the pair set their sights on the same girl in Tup Tup nightclub.
Sources claimed bosses were "really unhappy" with Jon, but his representatives said he was keen to take a break from the show, to focus on his personal life and projects.

They said: "This has been in discussion with the show for some time now and is part of a wider plan for Jon."
Jon has appeared on the series since 2015, when he joined the cast with his lookalike brother Chris.
Meanwhile Dean only joined the show in March, alongside Vicky Pattison's ex Jordan Wright.
Dean caught the attention of producers after a brief romance with Jon's ex Chloe Crowhurst, and a stint on fellow reality show Ex On The Beach.
