E OF TOWIE
Kilbey, 29, was recently cleared of masterminding a drugs empire but was found guilty of stashing £116,000 in illgotten gains, hidden in his daughter’s bedroom. He spent two years in prison.
Towie’s male stars have had their own share of problems.
Murdered
Playboy Mike Hassini, 22, was banned from driving after he led cops on a booze-fuelled car chase before crashing his swanky Mercedes.
He was two and a half times over the drink- drive limit and in possession of cocaine when he was arrested last year.
Trouble has even followed the cast abroad. Jake Hall, 21, was attacked with broken bottle at celebrity hangout Aqwa Mist in Marbella, Spain, last year after rival gangs clashed with champagne bottles and glass from shisha pipes. He almost lost a kidney in the brawl.
In February Chloe Sims, Georgia Kousoulou, Tommy Mallet and Liam “Gatsby” Blackwell and two production staff were attacked in a McDonald’s in Tenerife. The attackers ran off.
Last year the Sunday People revealed how James Lock and Jake partied with a fugitive drugs smuggler involved in a £350million cocaine shipment.
They were totally unaware of Gerard Hagan’s sinister background when they hung out with him on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Hagan, 31, who was caught in one of the biggest cocaine seizures in the British Isles, fled prison in 2012 while serving a ten-year sentence.
James, 29, and Jake got close to Hagan while filming in Marbella for ITV2 spin-off show The Only Way Is Marbs. The trio took trips on a boat, went clubbing and zoomed around the fashionable resort in a 4x4.
Footage emerged of two of the show’s female stars Jasmin Walia and Abi Clarke starring in a music video with a rapper who has since been convicted of murder.
The video was filmed in 2013, a year before the killing took place, and featured the two reality stars alongside Terngu Agera, who raps under the name Mover. Agera is serving life for stabbing f ather- of- one Zydrunas Laurinavicius to death, and is being held at Belmarsh Prison, South East London. A childhood pal of the Towie cast was shot in broad daylight outside a hotel last year.
Victim Paul SimmonsTurner, 30, is believed to have been on the run when he was murdered in a “targeted attack”. He was wanted for seven months over a brutal assault on two men outside a nightclub.
And in 2014 Towie’s Charlie Sims was scarred on the cheek when he was glassed by a woman clubber at a nightspot in Mayfair. He chose not to involve police.
