TOWIE: The show is back on Sunday 21st August
TOWIE stars Dan Edgar, Amber Turner and Ella Rae Wise have all shared lengthy statements regarding their ongoing dispute.
Their row began earlier this month when Ella Rae claimed her co-star Dan 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.
After the initial allegations, it was reported Dan refused to film the final episode of the ITVBe series, with it later revealed Ella Rae actually pulled out of filming due to the fact neither he or girlfriend Amber wanted to be around her following the allegations.
In a lengthy statement issued on Tuesday, Dan tells his fans how things are “being dealt with legally”, while his girlfriend Amber brands the rumours surrounding her partner of five-years as “categorically FALSE” and claims the “obsession with him” needs to stop.

In response, Ella Rae says she refuses to be “painted out to be a liar” and claims the “whole situation was massively blown out of proportion”, but stresses she “NEVER made up a lie about Dan and NEVER would”.
Writing on his Instagram Stories on Sunday, Dan tells his 500,000 followers: “I wasn’t going to say anything regarding TOWIE but some of the madness that has happened over the past week has left me with no choice but to address it.
“The things that have been spoken about on the show are completely false. The person this has come from was taken out of filming this week for making false and very damaging allegations in the press which have now been retracted. I can’t say too much on this matter as it is being dealt with legally.

He adds: “However please just bare this in mind when watching the show.”
Earlier this summer, Ella Rae told MailOnline: “Dan needs to keep his hands to himself really. He shouldn’t touch up other girls when he has a girlfriend,”
At the launch party ahead of TOWIE’s 30th series, Ella Rae added: “He was hands-on and given he has a girlfriend, it was inappropriate… I’m the worst person he could have touched up in a club because I’m not going to keep it a secret.”
She later issued a statement in which she said Dan “did not touch me inappropriately without my consent”.

Posting shortly after her boyfriend Dan’s update on Sunday night, Amber also issued a lengthy statement to her Instagram followers regarding the matter – telling her fans how she wasn’t going to comment but feels “it’s immoral on so many levels” that she can no longer ignore it.
“I wasn’t going to comment but I can’t bare the thought of people thinking for even a second that this rumour is true!” Amber begins telling her fans via an update on her Instagram Stories.
The star – who has dated Dan since 2017 – goes on to say: “The sheer desperation from that liar to get back on a show that they were axed from was motivation enough for her to make up a pathetic LIE. Spoiler alert – next episode you’ll see everyone that matters reactions and how obvious it is that she is lying.
“Conveniently the only person that bare witness to this “event” was her mate. Following on from that I now want to address something that came out in the press earlier this week. Again I wasn’t going to comment but it’s immoral on so many levels that I cannot ignore it.”

Amber adds: “Firstly the fact this girl could use those words in an interview shocked me to the core at the lengths someone would go. These defamatory allegations are categorically FALSE. This was something that could honestly ruin someone’s life and is the lowest of the low.
“The affects this has on someone’s mental health is huge. Therefore this obsession with him needs to stop! His name should not be coming out of her mouth.”
In a second story, Amber adds: “When they lie so much, they just gotta keep lying so it seems legit.”

One hour on from Dan’s original post on Sunday night, Ella Rae also took to her Instagram Stories to add a lengthy statement on the matter and seemingly address Amber and Dan’s claims.
In the update, she tells her fans: “I’m not going to be painted out to be a liar because that’s one thing I’m not. What happened with Dan was a simple hand hold & hands on my waist which I personally wouldn’t be happy about if it were my boyfriend.
“There were plenty of people around this night who see it happen, not only friends. This was then twisted in the press & made to sound a lot worse which is no surprise as this is what journalists do.”
She passionately adds: “I have NEVER made up a lie about Dan and NEVER would but what is now being said about me is a lie. I was never removed from TOWIE final for making things up, I was removed because amber & dan kicked off so bad about being around me that TOWIE decided to keep us separate.
Ella Rae claims things have been ‘blown out of proportion’

“The whole situation was massively blown out of proportion but the facts are the facts. Hope this has cleared some things up for those that have asked.”
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.”
