The Only Way Is Essex star Joe Blackman 'moves on' with ANOTHER cast-member - just weeks after his split from Harry Derbidge

As a long-time fan of reality TV shows, I must admit that I was truly rooting for Harry and Joe. Their love story seemed like a fairytale, complete with plans for a Vegas wedding and dreams of starting a family. However, it seems that the cameras caught more than just their joyous moments; they also captured the heartache that comes with the unpredictability of relationships.


Reality TV personality Joe Blackman is said to have “moved forward” with a fellow cast member, only a few weeks following his breakup with Harry Derbidge.

Last week, TopMob detailed that the 30-year-old Harry and the 26-year-old Joe parted ways following conversations about starting a family and plans to tie the knot in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, it emerged on Tuesday that the single parent is said to be in a relationship with his co-star, Junaid Ahmed, who is 30 years old.

According to a source, The Sun reported that Harry became extremely angry upon finding text conversations between Joe and Junaid on his phone.

As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t help but share the latest buzz from The Sun! It seems that a heated argument ignited between them after the revelation of those secret text messages. Eventually, this passionate couple decided to part ways permanently.

According to a source, Harry discovered communications between Joe and Junaid, which sparked a significant disagreement and ultimately resulted in their separation.

Joe and Junaid have been seen going on a series of outings together since their return to Essex, and it appears that their bond has strengthened after their trip to Cyprus.

The source continued: ‘Since then Joe and Junaid have been spending lots of time together.’ 

It has been observed that they have been seen going out on dates in Essex and spending time together, suggesting that their relationship could soon escalate to something more intense, possibly leading to conflicts involving Harry.

As reported by The Sun, the plot is set to unfold for audiences later in the year, potentially requiring cast members to pick a side.

As a devoted fan, I can confidently say that this upcoming plot point is expected to be a significant, sweeping narrative in the series. It’s bound to spark heated debates among viewers, as opinions are likely to be split.

TopMob has contacted Harry’s representative for comment. 

Following the reports, it seems they parted ways a week ago, having initially planned to tie the knot in Las Vegas and talk about starting a family together.

Harry and Joe had been together for a while last year, and they had repeatedly emphasized that their bond was growing stronger.

In fact, a source close to the TV industry told The Sun that the pair have parted ways. This unexpected separation is set to be featured in the forthcoming series of the ITVBe reality program.

The source revealed: ‘Harry and Joe split up and everyone’s so upset for him.’ 

They truly wished that Harry had discovered true love, but unfortunately, things fell apart. This heartbreaking moment was captured on film and will be featured in the upcoming series.

‘Everyone is hoping they can get back together and work it out but it’s not looking good.’

Harry’s representative declined to comment. 

Previously, it was disclosed that Harry and Joe, who already have a child from a past relationship, had begun contemplating their wedding and even talked about expanding their family by having more kids together.

In conversation with him when he mentioned, “He’s moved in, and we share a home now… things are going wonderfully. We discuss many topics. We’ve mapped out our future and I am certain of his permanence in my life.”

‘We want to have kids one day and get married.’ 

He mentioned, “Let’s simply escape to Las Vegas. There, we can encounter Elvis Presley and get married. Joe and I often discuss a Vegas-style wedding and the idea of surrogacy. If things don’t work out, I would be extremely disappointed.”

After Harry admitted that he discovered love the previous year, he posted a collection of affectionate photos on Instagram.

Previously, the television personality had subtly suggested his relationship status by posting a picture on social media, where he was seen holding another person’s (Joe’s) leg from beneath a table and adding a heart emoji to imply affection, hinting that he was no longer available after his brief romance with co-star Junaid.

Afterward, he disclosed that the man was Joe Blackman, and the newly formed pair gleamed for photographs at a bar and Sheesh restaurant in Essex, overjoyed by the moment.

Besides unveiling his new persona, Harry also hinted at his desire to become a father during a Q&A session he conducted on social media.

As for myself, I’ve often expressed my desire for parenthood someday. Seeing Joe, now a loving father to a precious little boy, only strengthens that yearning. His son is indeed the sweetest child I’ve come across, and witnessing Joe in his role as a dad is an absolute joy.

Harry additionally suggested that Joe might participate alongside him in The Only Way Is Essex during the ongoing production of its 31st season.

Posting a selfie of the duo, he wrote: ‘Starting a fresh week and ready to shoot a new TOWIE episode! Can’t wait for the upcoming season.’

Reflecting on my past, I found myself briefly entangled in a romantic fling with my good friend Junaid in April. Our relationship unfolded on the ITVBe reality show. However, we eventually realized that our friendship flourished more profoundly when we chose to focus on being friends rather than lovers.

Before meeting Junaid, the reality star had been in a relationship with boyfriend Dean Rowland. However, they parted ways in October 2022.

He later had a brief romance with Jackson Lonergan.
