Chloe Brockett slams TOWIE pay: ‘I was getting minimum wage to be abused’

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Chloe Brockett hit the headlines last year when it was revealed she threw a drink at co-star Roman Hackett.

Chloe, 24, was suspended from the ITVBe reality show after she allegedly threw three glasses at him during a brutal argument while filming for the ITVBe reality series. Chloe teased a return to the Essex-based reality show but later quit the series and announced her decision on Instagram.

Now, Chloe has spoken out about her exit and revealed just how little the TV stars are paid for taking part in the show. With the stars ‘ extravagant lifestyles – jetting off to destinations like Bali and Thailand for luxurious breaks with the series and driving around in flashy cars – its expected the reality stars earn a hefty sum from filming. However, Chloe has revealed that isn’t the case.

“It was my whole life. You get paid per day, max three days a week. It started on £90, then £250 and then £400.

” They film for 22 weeks a year. That’s £22, 000 a year. I was getting minimum wage to be abused, “she has told The Sun, adding she would get ‘ torn apart ‘ for how she looks and speaks and she also received shocking death threats.

ITV and TOWIE production company Lime Pictures have been contacted for comment.

Elsewhere in the interview, Chloe discussed her fiery row with Roman, 22, who is in a relationship with Love Island star Matilda Draper.

Chloe, who had a brief romance with Roman before their fallout, is now dating ex Love Islander Jack Fincham, who was recently jailed over a dog attack briefly before he was released on bail. Chloe has alleged producers ‘ repeatedly told ‘ her to throw a drink at Roman and said the show ‘ set her up’.

She claimed:” TOWIE set me up. The producers repeatedly told me to chuck a drink at him. When it all went wrong, they turned on me as though they had not had any part of it”.

A TOWIE spokesman told The Sun:” The welfare of the cast and crew is of primary importance.

“Any concern over behaviour is immediately ­investigated and dealt with in line with our robust protocols.

” Safety on set is central to our production and cast members would never be instructed to do anything they disagreed with or indeed be asked to ­discuss any false narratives. “

However, Chloe claimed she has no ill feeling towards Roman. It comes after TOWIE star Roman told the Mirror in an exclusive chat in 2023 that he had no bad feelings towards Chloe but can’t be civil with her. He said at the time:” Listen I don’t hate Brockett, it’s not one of those things. It’s like, yeah we had an argument and all that other stuff, but once she done the other stuff it’s like for me, I’m thinking, ‘ Yeah I done you dirty, I mugged you off in a sense so you can be angry but… ‘ “

The reality star continued:” I would’ve forgiven her if it weren’t for what happened. Where that’s happened it’s like… we’re just… we can’t be civil really. I still… she’s a nice girl, she’s a nice girl but she has her fiery side and when that fiery side comes out… f**king hell. I don’t hate her. I haven’t spoke to her since we had an argument and I think if I was to see her I’d chat to her but is it worth it? No I don’t think so. “
