THE knives are out in Essex, as Harry Derbidge and boyfriend Joe Blackman, take aim at newcomer, Freddie Bentley, following a spectacular showdown on the season finale of TOWIE.
The trio clashed over their mutual friend, Ella Rae Wise, after Freddie rushed to her defence when Harry accused her of ruining his 30th birthday bash.
Now Harry and boyfriend Joe have publicly mocked Freddie’s fashion sense on social media, but Freddie has wasted no time biting back.
Harry posted a picture of his boyfriend Jo enjoying a glass of wine with a small gif of a woman waving pom poms.
He wrote in the caption, “Love you my little pom pom.”

But avid fans know only two well that he was referring to Freddie’s black shirt, with the elaborate puff sleeve, that he wore in the final episode.
In a Q& A to celebrate the end of his first series, Freddie was asked for his reaction to the pomp pom joke.
A fan said: “Were the pom pom comments aimed at you.”
Freddie replied: “I suppose so, but to be honest I kind of like it, its got a ring to it, shame they weren’t quick enough to think of it on their toes when we were filming 6 weeks ago.”
The row erupted after the series long feud between Harry Derbidge and Ella Rae Wise came to a dramatic climax at Harry’s 30th.
When Harry told Ella he’d ruined his party by showing up. He says: "You can go now because you've ruined by birthday again."
Dani Imbert interjects: "You need to make up...this is ridiculous."
Harry is then comforted by his boyfriend Joe Blackman, but is left seething when Ella hits back, saying: "'I can go now because I've ruined your birthday again', oh f*** off."
Joe screams: "You can f*** off Ella, just get out."
Then, an incandescent Freddie jumps up and launches a withering put down at Harry and Joe. yelling: "What do you mean get out...you f****** get out.

"You're f****** leary. Don't f****** pipe up."
Joe hit back: "Go fight someone else's battle.
"F*** off, get out," which prompted Freddie to shout:
"What do you mean get out."
Other cast members were then forced to intervene as the row escalated.
Elma Pazar stepped in and told Freddie: "Look at me, look at me...don't be so silly."
Jordan Brook intervened telling an emotional Harry: "You're a bigger person, it's your birthday, don't worry."
In floods of tears, Harry added: "I'm being punished for being friends with these girls.
"I just want to go home.
Much of this series has centred around the love triangle between Ella Rae Wise, Dan Edgar and Amber Turner.
When Ella and Dan hooked up during the cast trip to Bali, Harry, whom Ella thought was a trustworthy friend, disclosed the information to Amber Turner and her judgmental crew, dubbed “girl band.” Including Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green.
As a result, Ella has felt betrayed by Harry and they’ve spent much of the series, estranged. Their once solid bond, now appears to be broken.
