TWO Towie icons return for surprise cameo in dramatic finale – despite landing Netflix reality show
TWO iconic former stars of The Only Way Is Essex have been lined up for special appearances.
The Sun can reveal that Demi and Frankie Sims will make cameo returns in the upcoming series 33 finale.
This will mark the first time that either sister has appeared in Towie since 2021.
A source said: “Demi and Frankie surprised everyone by showing up to shoot the finale.
“They’re big Towie names so the cast were happy to have them back.
“They love the show but whether this means a permanent return for Demi and Frankie is an ongoing discussion.
“They’re busy with House of Sims and are about to start filming season three so watch this space!”
In 2022, Demi confirmed that she, Frankie and older sister Chloe had all quit the ITVBe series.
Taking to her Instagram stories, the star wrote: “I would like to officially confirm the rumours and the recent press is true.
“Myself, Chloe and Frankie collectively came together to resign and depart from our roles on The Only Way Is Essex before this current series started production.
“I would like to say a big thank you to our loyal fans for all the support you have given us over the years.
“You have made the experience truly remarkable and we can’t thank you enough for being on this journey.”
Previously, The Sun told how the sisters were involved in a feud with older sibling Chloe.
It came after the trio relocated to the US to film their family reality show House of Sims.
As Chloe‘s star in particular continued to rise Stateside, cracks started to form in her relationship with her sisters.
An insider exclusively told The Sun: “Chloe has been making big waves in the US but the same can’t be said for Frankie and Demi.
“It’s caused a divide which has definitely thrown the show into chaos though it could make for great TV.”
The Sun also told how Demi and Frankie had returned to Essex following the fall-out.
Meanwhile, Chloe and their brother Charlie remained in Los Angeles.
The Only Way Is Essex airs on ITVBe.
