TOWIE’s Joe Blackman has clapped back at viewers who branded him a ‘gaslighter’ after his secret romance with Junaid.
The reality star caused huge waves among his Essex celeb friends recently as he was caught sending flirty messages while in a relationship with Harry Derbidge.

After connecting with Joe in Cyprus, Harry was left shocked to find out Junaid and Joe had been texting behind his back.
He got into a huge row with Joe after the revelation, which left him reconsidering their relationship.
Harry was also shocked by the betrayal because he was best friends with Junaid before his pal made a move on his man.
He candidly told Junaid: “I am a little bit in shock Jan…You’re my best friend – and my best friend is telling me he fancies my boyfriend.”
Junaid replied: “Listen. I should have never said anything…”
Harry was lost for words as his best mate and boyfriend explained that they have feelings for each other.
However, the two boys tried to persuade him to understand where they were coming from, with Joe pointing out the flaws in his relationship with Harry that had caused him to move on emotionally.
While Harry sat and tried to hear Junaid and Joe out, TOWIE fans have been quick to slam Joe on social media.
When the love triangle scene first aired, one person raged: “Sorry but Joe from TOWIE is an absolute narcissist. Blames everything he possible can on Harry.”
Another agreed: “Joe is such a manipulator.”
Joe has now hit back with a cryptic Instagram story that simply reads: “If you don’t know the whole story, shut up.”
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 spoke about how they’d discussed marriage.
An insider has spoken out about the blossoming relationship between Joe and Junaid, saying: “Since then Joe and Junaid have been spending lots of time together.
“They been spotted on dates around Essex and staying at each others.”
