TOWIE star comes out as bisexual on the show
The Only Way Is Essex fans were over the moon to see that the cast now features another member of the LGBTQ+ community.
Last night's (November 11) episode starred Chloe Sims' sister Demi, and in a conversation with Bobby Norris and 'Pirate' Pete Wicks, Demi said that she was single and had her eyes on "a few hot guys here and a few hot girls" and was keen for a gay night out with Bobby.
Demi has previously appeared on the show, and looks to feature more next series.

Fans were glad to see a bisexual cast member, and generally seemed to like Demi herself, saying that they want to see more of her in the future.

Two episodes before the current series of the show wrapped up, it was announced that James Lock and Yazmin Oukhellou have quit the show. They said they needed to take the time out to work on their relationship.
It was also announced that The Only Way Is Essex won't have its usual Christmas special, titled The Only Way Is Essexmas, this year. It had be an annual thing since 2010.
A spokesperson from the ITV2 show has since told Digital Spy: "The current series of TOWIE has been extended to 11 episodes and as a result there will be no Christmas special."
TOWIE airs on ITV2.
