Dan Edgar reportedly threw the filming of The Only Way Is Essex into chaos when he "refused to film" yesterday.
The filming of the final of the ITVBe show was interrupted, with sources claiming Dan had refused to film after his co-star Ella Rae claimed her co-star was "inappropriate", and had touched her waist and held her hand. She later clarified her comments, insisting he didn't touch her without consent, but questioned whether he should be behaving that way when he had a girlfriend.
Dan has been dating Amber Turner since 2017 and sources allege that he was "kicking off" on set yesterday as they filmed the final episode. He is believed to have told producers he "didn't want to be part" of the final show over what happened.
A source told The Sun: "He was kicking off and saying he didn't want to be a part of the final episode. Producers were pulling out all the stops and trying to talk him into it for hours but the whole thing was chaos.
"In the end, he relented and filmed scenes but he wasn't happy and was dragging his heels over it."
Ella, 22, made the comments in a podcast and later clarified them with a full statement.
"I want to make it clear that Dan Edgar did not touch me inappropriately without my consent. What I did mean was that I think how he has acted towards me while having a girlfriend is not OK," she said in her statement.
"No boyfriend should hold someone's hand or put their hands around another girl's waist while in a relationship. This is a story you will see covered in the upcoming series of Towie where you will see both sides of the story from Dan and myself."
ITV confirmed to The Sun that Dan did film for the final episode. The Mirror have reached out to representatives for Dan and for ITV for comment amid the claims about him "kicking off" during the filming.
Dan and Amber have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years, and back in June, sources claimed that the couple's long-term relationship was "on the rocks" after he "flirted" with Ella.
A source said to the Mail Online at the time: "Amber couldn't believe what she was hearing. She lives with Dan, they have been together for years and share a dog, she thought they had moved on from Essex rumours and gossip.
"To be confronted with this all during filming for the new series in the Dominican Republic was hard for her too, she didn't expect to be at the forefront of another storyline about her relationship."
