The 23rd series of TOWIE is upon us!
Episode 4 of the new series aired Sunday, September 23rd.
There’s still as much agg in Essex as ever – even eight years after the show began.
In the hour-long episode, the TOWIE cast had a break-up, a makeup, a singles night and some mega realisations.
Here’s the TOWIE recap: The Only Way is Essex season 23 episode 4!
Lockie Admits his Behaviour was Out of Line
Chloe Lewis, Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green came face to face with James ‘Lockie’ Lock in episode 4.
Lockie pretty much had his tail between his legs as his girlfriend, Yazmin Oukhellou, had shouted abuse at the girls on a recent night out.

So, Lockie felt the need to apologise to them and explain that neither him or Yaz were proud of how they’ve acted recently.

Pete and Lockie Have a Heart to Heart
In episode 4 we see ‘Plockie’ have a pint.
Pete Wicks did his best to explain how he felt about his girlfriend, Shelby Tribble.

When Lockie asked: “What’s going on with your missus?”
Pete replied: “I don’t even know.”

Pete concluded:
She’s the bird that should be perfect for me…I don’t know if I can make her happy.
Yazmin Breaks Down About her Behaviour
Last week we saw Yazmin Oukhellou let loose on Dan Edgar.
As if that wasn’t enough, Yaz told Shelby Tribble and Clelia Theodorou that she took it even further at the weekend.

Pictured: Yaz tells Clelia what she said to Amber.
Yaz admitted she ‘saw red’ after Amber Turner asked to be seated in a separate area from her on a night out.
Yaz then shouted offensive comments at Amber, Chloe Meadows and Courtney.
She said:
Afterwards I thought, Oh my God, what have I done?

Pictured: Yaz in tears.
She admitted that her behaviour was ‘not normal’.
Yaz said:
I just want to be happy and normal.
Yazmin and Amber Agree to Disagree
It was round about time that Amber Turner and Yazmin talked things out.
Although talking quickly turned to arguing and crying.

Pictured: Amber speaks to Yaz.
Yaz admitted that how she acted was ‘disgusting’.
She said: “The comments that I shouted at you, they weren’t nice.”
Amber wasn’t interested in her apology and said: “You can’t just apologize and expect everything to be swept under the carpet.”

Pictured: Yaz talks to Amber.
Their conversation took a turn for the worst when the two agreed that deep down they were never properly friends.
Yaz said:
You’re not a nice girl, Amber.

Pete and Shelby Break Up
The drama continued this episode when Pete Wicks and Shelby Tribble met up after days without communication.
Shelby entered the bar fuming, while Pete kept his cool exterior.

As her frustration grew, Shelby couldn’t contain her anger any longer.
Shelby said:
You’re a f***ing 30-year-old man. Grow the f*** up and have some respect.
After their argument last week Pete went out to a strip club, adding fuel to the fire.
Now there’s an example of what not to do if you’re going through a rocky patch with your girlfriend, folks.

Pictured: Pete responds to Shelby.
Their tense talk ended with Shelby shouting:
You’re a coward…so I’m gonna do you the favour and say we’re done.

Chris Holds a Singles Night
Chris Clark got all of Essex’s singletons together this episode.
Bobby Norris, James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and Courtney Green were just a few on the lookout for love.

Pictured: Chris and Courtney on singles night.
Chris and Courtney agreed that they are 100% friend zoning each other.
While Diags’ dating game was getting serious.

He and Miss British Isles Elegance went on a date.

But it’s probably safe to say those two won’t meet again.
He didn’t even ask for her number and she went away with a photo of Diags and a Maltese terrier!
