TOWIE star Sam Mucklow has blamed Shelby Tribble for the abuse he’s been getting after calling her a “slag” on national TV.
He says it’s Shelby’s fault he’s received backlash from fans, and now he no longer wants to be friends with her.
The reality TV star had a drink thrown in his face on the show earlier this month after he was confronted by Shelby about flirting with Demi Sims behind her back.
After backlash over the shady move, Sam has accused Shelby of trying to turn people against him by twisting the story.
Sam told The Sun Online: “I am not forgiving Shelby for what she has done. She wanted to film with me this week but I refused. I am still angry with her.
“We will never be friends again. I don’t want to forgive her and I feel like I need to.
“I’ve made friends with Clelia and that’s what I care about. I obviously haven’t seen her as much but we will be cool.
“I have had a big backlash for calling Shelby a slag and I have found that quite hard to deal with and I hold Shelby personally responsible for that.
“If she had never of thrown a drink in my face on camera I would never have called her a slag.
“In normal circumstances she would never have thrown that drink. I didn’t deserve to have that drink thrown in my face and if we hadn’t been on camera she would never have done it.
“So I hold her responsible for what happened afterwards.
“If she hadn’t done that and said I was treating her like a slag, I would never have repeated it on film and I would have never been abused by the public.
“I resent her for it. Rightly or wrongly I blame her for all the online abuse I’ve been getting. It never should have happened.
“I have never been in the position to deal with that much abuse before.

“The most frustrating thing for me is I don’t feel people know the full story. I think the episode made me look a lot worse.
“I don’t care what people say to me but I do care if peoples’ perceptions of me aren’t wrong.
“I am annoyed that people think I am such a bad person and I am not.
“I would be lying if I didn’t say it had affected me.”
Earlier this month The Sun’s Bizarre column revealed that Shelby had bedded Sam during a wild night out on their trip and had spoke of regret the following morning.
A Towie insider said: “Shelby and Sam were all over each other – their chemistry was unreal.
“One thing led to another and they ended up in bed together. None of the other cast were surprised.”
