Raging Towie fans brand Joe a ‘gaslighter’ as he and Junaid confront Harry over their secret romance

TOWIE fans have hit out at Joe Blackman after he and Junaid Ahmed confronted Harry Derbidge about their secret romance.

Joe and Junaid sent shockwave through the Towie cast after they got together following Joe’s split from Harry.

In tonight’s episode the trio were seen having a conversation during which Joe and Junaid told Harry they’d realised they have feelings for each other.

A stunned Harry was lost for words, with the other two boys asking him to understand where they were coming from and Joe pointing out issues in their relationship.

But viewers rushed to social media and took aim at Joe – branding him a “gaslighter”.

One wrote: “Sorry but Joe from #towie is an absolute narrcisist. Blames everything he possible can on Harry.”

Another said: “Harry is handling this so well but Joe is so gaslighty.”

And a third added: “Joe is such a manipulator.”

Last month The Sun revealed Harry and Joe had split a year after getting together.

The news left Towie fans blindsided as it came just weeks after Harry told how they’d discussed marriage.

Days later we told how Harry had found messages between Joe and Junaid that spelled the end of their relationship.

An insider said of the blossoming romance between Joe and Junaid: “Since then Joe and Junaid have been spending lots of time together.

“They been spotted on dates around Essex and staying at each others.”
