We'll be honest, we've been so invested in this year's chaotic series of Love Island we almost forgot that TOWIE drama even existed. To be fair, the cast are currently filming series 36, so there's no TOWIE actually on the telly for us to obsess over right now, but still, we're usually more on it than this. We should love all our children equally.
Somehow, while floating in our Love Island bubble, we totally forgot that the TOWIE cast still have their social media accounts and an all-year-round tendency to share passive aggressive memes about one another.
Luckily, Ella Rae Wise's Instagram poked us with a gentle reminder over the weekend.
To be fair, Ella is the queen of the passive aggressive meme share if she's feeling a certain way, and we forgot how much we live for one of these posts.
Over the weekend, the Celebrity Big Brother 2025 star shared a meme from @thedeepestmessages (lol), which said, 'I don't believe in revenge because people with ugly hearts eventually ruin their own lives all on their own.'
It's like an apocalyptic 'live, laugh, love' and we're obsessed – and totally back on the TOWIE train now, by the way.
While she didn't add anything to the post, there's no way in reality telly hell that Ella – who is currently filming series 36 and has described the upcoming series as 'scandalous' – is not passively aggressively directing this at one of her TOWIE co-stars, especially given that she's been filming scenes with her ex Dan Edgar.
Which must be so awkward given that they split very suddenly just before her infamous Big Brother stint.
Frankly, we're desperate to learn the details of Ella and Dan's split. So, naturally, when we caught up with the Essex babe in O Beach in Ibiza earlier this summer, we had to ask whether we'll see their split unfold on TV...
'You will [see it on TOWIE]. At the end of the day it's just a shame,' she told Closer. 'We wish things went differently and you never know what will happen in the future.'
Despite TOWIE series 35 ending with Dan asking Ella to be his girlfriend, it was just days before Ella's Celebrity Big Brother stint that it came to light that they'd called it quits.
Oh, and in a Love Island x TOWIE crossover twist, it’s come to light that a Love Island 2025 star used to date Dan and, to be honest, it makes total sense...
