TOWIE’s Harry Derbidge issues 6-word statement on love split after he’s dumped for best friend

Harry Derbridge, a television star, has never been one to back down when it comes to discussing his recovery from the shock of the betrayal of Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman. In the final episode of the ITVBe show, viewers witnessed Joe and Junaid hooking up in one of the most explosive storylines TOWIE has ever seen. However, the 30-year-old’s perception is that the past is firmly in the past, and he tells OK! that he credits the enormous public support he’s received for guiding him through a “bad place.” He said: “I am in such a better place. In Cyprus, when it all happened, I don’t even remember it… I was there but not there. I’m so happy that I’ve overcome this. Time is a healer”.

Harry – who first appeared on TOWIE in 2010 – continued: “I will always be scarred by the situation and that scar will stay with me into my new relationships. However, I’m pleased that two people have revealed their true selves to me. I believed I would still be in a bad place at this point, but I’m fortunate that I managed to come together. Now, not only is the TOWIE OG filming a 90-minute Christmas special, Harry has revealed that he’s connected with someone new but they’re based down under. However, the pair haven’t even met yet. He explained: “I am seeing someone. It is early days. It is so early, we haven’t even met! He lives on the other side of the world, in Australia. I’m going for two weeks – to go on a first date”!.

The star, who is cousins with fellow TOWIE alum, Amy Childs, has dubbed this time in his life as a “new chapter”. He said: “I’ve never been. I’m dreading the flight, I’ve never been on one that long. The first part lasts eight hours, the second thirteen. It is a new chapter. We have dates over FaceTime. He’s very handsome. I’m going to take my time. It’s the other side of the world, so it can’t be rushed”!. Harry has no doubt had a difficult time filming the Christmas special, as he has already stated he will never forgive them, despite the fact that he is looking forward to the future.

Harry explained: “I have only seen them once so far this Christmas special. That’s going to change today. There’s a lot of stuff that happened. The last time we saw TOWIE everyone was on the phone, going”, They’ve broken up… “I look at them and think”, You ain’t real. They may try to hurt me or rub it in my face, but I’m just seeing them for who they are right now. I will never forgive them, ever. And Joe’s apology was not a genuine apology. He apologized, and he later called me a liar. I just walked off with my head in the end. I am proud of myself. The person you last saw on screen? I’ve changed a lot since then. I turned my back, smiled, and carried on as they had to walk in yesterday. Harry ended with a heartbreaking six-word statement: “They don’t hurt me any more”.

On ITVBe and ITVX, The Only Way Is Essexmas airs on Sunday, December 15th, at 9 p.m.
