TOWIE’s Harry Derbidge and Joe Blackman erupted into a heated, sweary argument after a love triangle was revealed, putting their engagement on the brink of collapse.

Just last month, The Sun exclusively reported that Joe had already moved on with Junaid Ahmed, 30, only weeks after ending things with Junaid’s best friend, Harry.

In recent episodes of the ITVBe show, viewers have been teased with hints of a budding romance between Junaid and Joe, following the turbulent relationship between Joe and Harry while in Cyprus.

Last Sunday, Junaid became emotional, breaking down in tears as he openly shared his feelings for Joe.

Although things seemed to improve between Harry and Joe after they reconciled in Cyprus, Harry’s growing connection with Junaid now seems to complicate matters.

Harry and Joe clashed in an explosive row during an upcoming episode of the ITVBe show after Junaid and Joe revealed their new connection to Harry.

During a tense one-on-one conversation, Harry told Joe: “I don’t want everyone’s opinion, if I wanted it I would’ve asked for it.

“I came to sit at that table, and every person there tried to make me feel sh*t about it, like I’ve done something wrong.”

Harry quickly reassured him: “You’ve done nothing wrong.”

A frustrated Joe fired back: “So don’t make me feel like I’ve done something wrong, Harry. Because everybody’s making me feel like sh*t.”

Harry responded: “I’m not making you feel like you’ve done something wrong. When did I make you feel like that? I’m just in shock.”

Joe, still upset, replied: “Over there, everyone’s just tried to embarrass me at that table.”

Harry interjected: “No one’s embarrassing you.”

To which Joe insisted: “Yeah, they have.”

Harry concluded: “The whole situation’s embarrassing, Joe.”

And Joe said: “You think I’m over the moon about it? Do you think I’m loving every minute of it?, I can’t help it.”

The Sun previously revealed that dad-of-one Joe is dating Junaid.

A source told The Sun that TV favourite Harry was left furious after he discovered text messages between Joe and ex pal Junaid.

This led to Harry and Joe having a blazing row and ending things for good, despite talks of marriage just weeks before.

A source told us: “Harry found messages between Joe and Junaid and it led to a huge argument and them splitting.”

TOWIE airs Sundays at 9pm on ITVBe & ITVX. Stream or watch live.

MARTIN Lewis has revealed the ‘magic codes’ to look out for on over-the-counter medicines that could save you a fortune.

When looking for a specific medicine in a pharmacy, you may be bombarded with a range of different brands, all claiming to be better than the rest.

Figuring out the trick could save you precious pounds[/caption]

But Lewis’ trick will help to show whether the meds are in-fact identical underneath their colourful packaging.

Lewis revealed that each pill packet has a PL code, a number that indicates a particular drug made by a particular manufacturer.

For example, PL 12063/0104 is a cold and flu remedy that can be found under the brands of Asda, Boots, Galpharm, and Wilko.

Despite their different packaging styles and prices, the product underneath it all is actually identical.

The way you can check this is by looking at a packet’s PL number, typically featured on the back side of the packaging.

If the number exactly matches up to a more expensive pill, you know you’ve found the bargain.

Some tablets may be half the price of their doppelgangers, Lewis claimed.

The money saving guru explained this in his latest weekly ‘Money Tips’ email alongside other saving tricks.

In the list, he also shone light on how hundreds of thousands of people could be overpaying for their prescription medicines.

Lewis said that often the medications listed on prescriptions can actually be accessed for free, or even just cheaper over-the-counter.

If you find yourself buying prescriptions frequently, a repay prescription certificate might save you a hefty sum.

His website described it as “a bit like a prescription season ticket” and that it “can mean big savings.”

These certificates work best for people who get at least one prescription every month.

There are two prepayment options:

• Three-month prepayment certificate – £32.05
• 12-month prepayment certificate – £114.50

Compared to paying £9.90 for a prescription item each month, the certificate can make a huge saving.

For example, someone who gets two prescriptions each month for 12 months would save more than £100, compared with paying for individual prescriptions. 

You can apply via the NHS prescriptions site.

A TEST pilot for the supersonic jet dubbed “the son of Concorde” says it will get Brits from London to NYC in just 3.5 hours and won’t cost an arm and a leg.

Boom Technology‘s Overture promises to cruise twice as fast as a regular plane and offers luxurious travel with prices that rival business class on a Boeing 777.

Test pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg claims the airliner will do miles better than the Concorde, its predecessor that paved the way for supersonic travel.

The XB-1 plane is being used for the test flights before Boom unveils the actual aircraft set to be used in the future known as the Overture.

Geppetto has already successfully flown the demonstrator aircraft twice and is keen to see the Overture replicate those “incredible” flights for passengers travelling across the globe.

The tests took place at the airpace in Mojave Desert, California and reached altitudes of an impressive 10,400ft and a top speed of 232 knots (277 mph) but another 10 tests are needed before the jet reaches Mach 1 or supersonic status.

While he’s “never been scared in a plane”, Geppetto admitted he’d faced some nerve-racking flights in the past but described the thrill of piloting the XB-1.

“The first time I went to land on an aircraft carrier, I had a hard time sleeping that night, and I also got nervous for some of the important flights for my qualifications,” he said.

“Interestingly though, I wasn’t really that nervous for the flights in the XB-1. I knew the team I was working with, I knew the air.

“I know this aeroplane better than any aeroplane I’ve ever flown. 

“I knew we had a solid team and a solid plan, and the weather was good. We had the chase aeroplane and chase pilot ready to go – everything was in place. 

“Looking at the cockpit video, I could see the brake release as we were approaching so the chase pilot would call my brake release, so that we could take off and join up almost immediately.

“He gives me a 10-second call and in that video I can see my heart rate really increases.

‘I remember feeling a little bit nervous there like ‘Oh, man, this is this is really happening.

‘This aeroplane’s only ever flown for 12 minutes so far, this is a brand new aeroplane’. 

“All of those things were frantically going through my head and then he [chase pilot] calls for my brake release.

“I relieve the brakes and the throttle is going into full afterburner, I can feel the acceleration and then it’s like ‘Oh okay, I know how to do this!

‘This is what I’ve been training for, this is what I’ve been waiting for’.”

The Overture is expected to take off as a commercial airliner by 2030 and carry 64-80 passengers.

Boom says the plane will fly from New York to London in 3.5 hours and Tokyo to Seattle in just 4.5 hours.

Tipped to rival the Concorde, he insists it will be much cheaper than the Concorde, which he says failed because of its fares.

“We believe that life happens in person,” he said.

“A meeting is so much more effective when you can, when you can shake hands and talk to a person face to face. 

“Time spent with family or friends is so much better in person than it is via screen.

“Part of the reason the Concorde isn’t flying anymore is just because it wasn’t a sustainable business model.

“The flights were so expensive that the average person just couldn’t afford to take those.”

The Overture will fly over the ocean and Geppetto hopes Boom can develop new technology to fly at the speed of sound over land in the future.

And it’s not just customers whose lives would be positively impacted – pilots’ family lives could improve.

“A three day trip sees pilots gone from their family for three days but with the Overture, if they fly from New York to London, they’d be back that same day, home in time for dinner!”

“The more of life you can spend where you want, with who you want and with less travel time, the better.

“I spent a year in Denmark when I was a kid but the travel was time-consuming – if we could cut down the time and make the world effectively smaller, think about the experiences people could have.

“Think about how much easier it would be to visit places like the UK, or Asia.”

While one of Boom’s aims is accessibility, its airliners will only come with business class seats, although Geppetto insists this is good value for money.

“Our goal is to make it affordable,” he said.

“They’re going to have business class seats and so it should be comparable to the business class experience on a Boeing 777. 

“If you have the option of choosing business class on a wide body jet that takes 6 hours to get somewhere or a comparable fare where you spend half as much time in the air, I would choose the one that got me there faster.”

Tickets for a round trip from NYC to London are expected to cost $5,000 (£3,823), while the same journey set Concorde passengers back a whopping $20,000 (£15,293), adjusted for inflation.

For Geppetto, who recalls seeing a Piper PA-25 Pawnee fly in front of him as a 10-year-old, later inspiring him to train as a pilot with the US military, the prospect of Boom is “really exciting”.

“I was in high school during 9/11 and that had a pretty big impact on me.

“I chose to go to test pilot school because I was really interested in how planes work, how they fly, and how we can make them better. 

“Dedicating a year to the engineering aspect of flying planes and figuring out how they work and how to improve them was really appealing to me.”

On top of faster journeys, Boom is committed to eco-friendliness and uses carbon-neutral fuel.

The Overture use sustainable aviation fuel made from pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere and turning it into something that can be burned in a jet engine.

“Not only are we saving time, but we’re also doing it in an eco-friendly way.”

One hundred and thirty Overture aircraft have been pre-ordered by commercial airlines including American Airlines, United Airlines and Japan Airlines.

FOR years ‘Pumpkin Spice’ has been the top autumn trend – from the spiced lattes to mouthwatering candles, it’s long been the favourite seasonal flavour.

But that’s all about to change with a new mouthwatering scent ready to take the spotlight.

And now experts have revealed how you can add its warmth, comfort and earthy tones to your home[/caption]

It’s all about ‘Apple Crisp’ this autumn – and it’s influencing everything from fashion to home decor.

From the warm colour palette to the comforting scent, Apple Crisp is coming to life this season.

While Pumpkin Spice is a rich spicy blend of ginger, orange, cardamom and pumpkin, Apple Crisp is sweeter and fruitier with muskier tones and smells like apples, cinnamon and vanilla.

Luckily, one expert is on hand to share their top tips on how to bring its cosy vibe into our homes to give it some autumn charm.

Cassandra Leisz, Creative Director of innovative interiors brand Ruggable, said it’s all about warmth, comfort and earthy tones.

To bring that into your home Cassandra says: “To capture the essence of freshly baked apple crisps, focus on warm, inviting colors such as red, yellow, orange and deep brown.

“You can do this by introducing plush, textured throws and cushions to add both visual and physical comfort to your living space.

“Perfect for cosy autumn days that can be changed seasonally.

“In larger rooms with big floor space, adding a patterned rug in rich reds, browns or creams.

“It is a great way to transform the space with rustic charm and autumnal palettes.”

Tie in the theme with a warm glow

Another way to do it is by adding warm lighting to your house.

She says: “Warm lighting is essential for an autumnal glow.

“You can achieve this by adding a few candles to your table display to create a rustic, warm ambience.

“For maximum effect, opt for scented taper or tea candles in a cider or mulled scent.

“Or, for longer lasting ambience, drape warm, soft white fairy lights around your living room, dining area or along the mantle for subtle lighting.”

Create the mouth-watering scent

Nothing evokes the feeling of apple crisp like the warm scent of apples, cinnamon and vanilla.

Cassandra suggests: “To complete the atmosphere in your home, you’ll want to create the scent of apple crisp.

“Look for scented candles, room sprays, diffusers, or potpourri with scents such as ‘apple pie,’ ‘mulled wine’ and ‘cinnamon spice’ to create a deliciously fragrant atmosphere.

“Place them throughout your home, especially in the living room and kitchen where traffic is high.

“If you prefer to use a diffuser, mix apple, cinnamon and clove essential oils for a similar effect.”

Create a cosy first impression with an autumn welcome at your front door

The strand is all about apples, so why not hang a gorgeous apple wreath? Or, even better, have a go at making one yourself?

This can help make a cosy first impression, Cassandra explains.

She adds: “Welcome guests to your front door with a wreath of fake apples, cinnamon sticks and dried leaves.

“You can even get the family involved in making it. This immediately sets a cosy tone at the entrance to your home.

“Make sure you swap your summer doormat for one with an autumnal design of apples, leaves or a welcoming autumn message.

“For an added touch, place some apples and pumpkins on the door display, this follows the trend and adds a natural element to your display.”
