As Sunday's episode of TOWIE aired, viewers were shocked and called Gemma Collins out on her rude manner while she was on the phone to a customer.

The boutique owner then took to social media last night to slam her fans, calling them "haters," and revealing there was actually no one on the other end of the phone line.

The 35-year-old uploaded a snapshot of a positive review of her boutique in a bid to squash rumours she ran a bad shop.

She posted: "Just want to clear up … TOWIE the other night as you know it's a TV show …

"When we was filming the phone went and it was an advertising company cold caller to which I said call back in one hour …As it was NOT A CUSTOMER ….

"We have an amazing customer service ethic and haters gonna hate but truth is my shop is expanding on many levels and I love what I do customer service is key as being a car sales girl back in the day I'm sick of people trying to knock my amazing boutique which is fun friendly and excellent customer service X."

This isn't the first time Gemma has been called out on her rude attitude though. As we all know in Celebrity Big Brother, people were raged by how she acted towards other people and her TOWIE co-star James Lock also said she was "the biggest liar in Essex."

We just hope that was a cold caller and she doesn't act like a diva in real life.

Lauren Goodger has been charting her fitness and weight loss journey over the last year, eating clean and hitting the gym in a big way.

While her Instagram is never short of bikini snaps and workout selfies – she is promoting her new fitness DVD, after all – it was this week that fans really noticed a huge difference in her size and shape.

The reality star posted a before-and-after snap of herself in identical black bikinis, one from halfway into her weight loss journey and one from this week. Cop a look at those abs:

 

And while that tan is most definitely fake, Lauren's getting no shortage of sun this week, as she's been jetting between various beach resorts with her boyfriend Jake McClean.

Lauren admitted recently that it was Jake's "tough love" approach that gave her the motivation she needed to get fit – but she promises he meant his comments well.

"Before [losing weight] I was very much in denial," she explained on Loose Women last month.

"Jake said to me, 'Cor you’ve put on a bit of weight!;' and my sister said to me last Christmas, 'You’ve got a bit big!'

"I can laugh about it now, but I needed to hear it to change."

And even though she's dropped three dress sizes since slimming down, Lauren says for her it's having a strong mind and body that's important.

"I’m not skinny, I’m strong and fit – there’s a difference," she said of her naturally curvy shape. 

"I look healthier than ever. I am a lot stronger in my mind, I don’t take anything negative, I feel so much better because of this."

She has been part of the reality show for over five years, but now Jessica Wright is getting ready to say goodbye to TOWIE.

The 30-year-old shared the message on her social media sites with a short video clip today, donning a red lace dress which she wore to a charity event a few days ago. 

 

A video posted by jesswright77 (@jesswright77) on

"After five amazing years on The Only Way Is Essex it is time for me to step away," she began.

"I've had the best time and I want to say thank you all so much for your support."

But she promised fans she won't be away from the limelight for too long.

"You will be seeing me soon and I'm also gonna be keeping up with all the goss in Essex," she added. 

Jessica was one of the original cast members when the show first aired five years ago, along with her brother Mark who left the show in 2011.

It seems that fame hungry male model Sam Reece is wasting no time maximising off the back of his public dumping on national television. 

From nightclub PA's to signing with a top management company, Sam is definitely using the publicity to his advantage. 

And speaking of new management, Sam was reportedly caught getting cosy with another client of his new press team, former The Only Way is Essex star Amy Childs. 

Yep, weren't the pair only caught "snogging the face off each other" at Freedom Bar in London earlier this week. 

"It looked like the first time they were getting together but it didn’t seem like it would be the last. They were snogging passionately in the bar," said a source to the Mirror. 

"Amy’s a single girl and Sam’s a single boy, and they have new mutual friends in their management company. It’s no wonder they’ve hit it off."

Last we heard, things were heating up in the love department for Amy as she was dating another male model, Jay Hector. 

Let's hope things have ended before this little romp because we are not sure we can cope with another reality star love triangle.

Rumours were rife this week that a certain cast member was going to be leaving the popular reality show The Only Way is Essex and it was Ferne McCann herself who has laid the rumours to rest. 

"Many of you have been wondering if I'll be returning back to Essex after my adventure down under…" said the pretty star in a series of posts on her Twitter. 

"I've been super busy since returning from Australia which means you won't be seeing as much of this (points to face) on The Only Way Is Essex.

"To be honest with you, you might enjoy the break.

"However, if any of my friends ever need me or need my advice I'll make sure I'm back to Essex to help them."

Following a successful stint on I'm a Celebrity at the end of last year, Ferne is reportedly looking to purse a career as a television presenter.

We know she's a bit of a diva (understatement of the year), but we didn't think she's charge people – children included – £12 (€16) for a selfie.

The Big Brother contestant, who has majorly shocked fans with her antics in the house – refuses to take photos with fans for free. 

Alex Sibley, who was a BB contestant in 2002, took to Twiiter to share a photo about Gemma's behaviour. 

The tweet said, "Gemma Collins charged my friend's daughter £12 for this selfie."

After Alex shared the tweet, a number of other users hopped on the bandwagon and started telling their stories of similar experiences:

We just can't help but LOL at this.

Sam Faiers officially introduced her baby boy to the world yesterday via a spread in OK! magazine.

And while there's no denying the three-week old tot is a complete cutie, it's his name that's been sparking debate amongst fans – Paul Tony Faiers.

"We always wanted him to be called Paul after his dad," Sam said, in reference to her partner Paul Knightley.

The couple kept things in the family for their son's middle name too, choosing Tony after Paul Sr's brother.

Fans were quick to comment on Sam's choice of name, wondering why she had gone for something so traditional.

But showing she's too classy to be dealing with her haters, Sam kept her response to the drama simple, choosing to screengrab someone else's response instead:

"Couldn't have put this in better words myself. Thank you x," the new mum wrote on Instagram.

While she's kept relatively quiet on social media since giving birth on December 29, fans of the TOWIE star will be able to follow her journey as a new mum as part of her upcoming ITVBe show, Sam Faiers: The Baby Diaries.

The 90-minute documentary will give fans a "front row seat" as Sam and Paul adjust to life as first-time parents.

Celebrity babies are not like other babies in lots of ways, let's face it.

First off, their arrival is usually met with huge fanfare – thousands of tweets from fans, maybe a photo spread in some glossy magazine, and an interview with the parents who are just "over the moon."

Well, Sam Faiers has given us all of that with the birth of her new son, but there's one thing she's broken the celebrity mould for.

In a new shoot for OK! magazine three weeks after giving birth, Sam revealed her son's name. And it's just very… normal.

World, meet baby Paul Tony Faiers:

"We always wanted him to be called Paul after his dad," Sam said, in reference to her partner Paul Knightley.

The couple kept things in the family for their son's middle name too, choosing Tony after Paul Sr's brother.

However even Sam admits that having a son with the same name as her boyfriend has taken some getting used to, saying, "We call him 'Baby Paul' or just 'Baby' at the moment. We haven't called him Paul yet."

While she's kept relatively quiet on social media since giving birth on December 29, fans of the TOWIE star will be able to follow her journey as a new mum as part of her upcoming ITVBe show, Sam Faiers: The Baby Diaries.

The 90-minute documentary will give fans a "front row seat" as Sam and Paul adjust to life as first-time parents.

Of course, Sam can always turn to her older sister Billie for advice, and no doubt has had lots of parenting practice with Billie's daughter Nellie, now one-and-a-half.

"My little lady has come to visit her baby cousin everyday," Sam wrote on Instagram last week alongside a sweet snap of herself and Nellie.

"She is going to be his best friend ☺️ I love you my beautiful niece."

A mere matter of months since his highly publicised breakup with Lillie Lexie Gregg and only weeks following his brief rekindling of romance with Charlotte Crosby, it seems Gary Beadle is wasting no time getting back in the dating game. 

The Geordie Shore favourite was spotted out on a date with model and familiar face, Emma McVey. 

You may recognise Emma as the ex of Mario Falcone, former cast member of The Only Way is Essex. 

Gary and Emma were snapped out getting food in Leeds over the weekend sparking rumours that there was a romance blossoming between the two. 

Emma dated Mario from November of 2014 up until the summer when the TOWIE star tweeted a series of cryptic tweets one reading: "Never trust anyone… Sometimes even those closest to you are the worst."

He then went on the delete any photos of him and the stunning brunette from his Instagram before confirming to the press in October that the pair had gone their separate ways.

We're guessing that one didn't end well then. 

Meanwhile Charlotte cleared up any romance rumours between the cast members in a recent YouTube video where she describes her recent romp with Gary was just a "holiday fling" while the pair were both in London. 

They're no Char and Gaz, but what do you make of Gary's potential new lady?

The Wright family only lost their beloved Nanny Pat last week, but that didn't stop horrible football supporters shout insults at Mark's brother, Josh. 

Gillingham footballer, Josh Wright, was playing a game against Millwall yesterday when the opposing side taunted Josh about his late grandmother.

Mark attended the game with his father, who was celebrating his 59th birthday, and took to Twitter shortly after the match to share his outrage. 

The 28-year-old wrote: "Football is football and hating on the opposing players is all part of it. 

"The few fans chanting disgusting stuff RE our nan is so low."

But it didn't totally effect the boys day out as Josh's team won 3-0 in the end.

"The thousands of @TheGillsFC fans singing THERES ONLY ONE JOSH WRIGHT at 3-0 up puts a smile write back on our faces," Mark continued.

Mark and his family certainly know how to get back on those haters.

They performed a sexy strip show at a charity last year, so it's no surprise the TOWIE men are flashing the flesh once again. 

This year Bobby Norris, Jake Hall, Tommy Mallet, James Lock and Pete Wicks gave their fans an early Christmas present and recreated the famous (and shirtless) Magic Mike XXL movie poster. 

Only dressed in jeans and runners, the reality stars put their very impressive abs on show in the sexy photoshoot. 

Speaking to Heat magazine, Bobby joked: "I look a little '118 118' with this tight little perm," and Jake said, "I'm the best dancer in the whole cast – they call me snakehips."

While Tommy, who donned Channing Tatum for the photo, let us in on a little secret: "Don't tell anyone there's contouring – I've been training for this for two years."

Sad news came for the TOWIE cast this morning though as their beloved Nanny Pat passed away in the early hours.

Mark Wright's grandmother, known as Nanny Pat, has sadly passed away after suffering from a short illness. 

Her family have confirmed that the 80-year-old passed away early today. 

"Sadly our amazing, courageous and beautiful Nanny Pat passed away this morning after a short illness.

"We are overwhelmed by sadness, and the whole family ask for privacy at this horrible time," said the family.

The news comes as the family, including Mark Wright, Jessica Wright and Michelle Keegan enjoyed a trip to New York together. Jessica shared a number of photo's last night on social media, just hours before her grandmother's death. 

Nanny Pat was a much loved part of the TOWIE crew, and celebrated her 80th birthday during an episode of the show in November. 

Pat is leaving behind five children, 14 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren – all of whom she was very close to, as seen on the reality show. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
