TOWIE stars Joe Blackman and Junaid Ahmed made their first public appearance tonight after their shock romance was revealed.
Joe left ex-boyfriend and fellow Towie star Harry Derbidge heartbroken when he started a relationship with their friend Junaid.
On Friday evening the new couple put on a loved-up display as they attended the Tulleys Shocktober Fest event together.
Joe and Junaid beamed while posing happily for snaps, with each of them dressed down for the occasion.
During last week’s episode Junaid told Harry he and Joe were sleeping together, leaving him in tears.
And in a first look at Sunday night’s show Harry’s furious cousin Amy Childs was seen confronting Junaid and Joe.
She told Junaid: “I really hope you two get married, but I know for a fact in two weeks time you’ll ring me and say ‘Amy look what he’s done to Harry and now look what he’s done to you,’ so good luck to you.”
Amy was joined by her fiancé Billy Delbosq, who also backed Harry, as he called Junaid and Joe’s romance “fake.”
He said: “Personally I think he’s going to drop you out, and whatever this is that’s going on it’s as fake as a handbag down Dagenham market.”
As they turned to leave, Amy turned back and said: “Yeah you’re snakes, hun.”
Last month, Harry was dumped by his fiancée in emotional scenes.
They had been dating for a year but Joe called time on their relationship just after their anniversary.
The Sun recently revealed the love triangle will come to a dramatic head in the series finale – with bosses having to take emergency measures due to the explosive scenes.
A show insider said: “Let’s just say things really kick off after the Harry, Joe and Junaid love triangle.
“I don’t think anyone was expecting it to end the way it ends.
“It was pretty shocking and the fallout was so bad that the show had to do something that has never ever happened before.”
