Heartbroken? Chloe Sims looked exhausted and puffy eyed after bumping into her ex-boyfriend Elliott Wright off camera in Essex
Judging by these pictures, the former love birds were pretty frosty with each other as they briefly stopped to talk.
Elliott was with his sister Leah at the time, who couldn't have looked more uncomfortable as she stepped aside to let her brother speak to his ex.
Chloe looked tired and puffy eyed as she walked away from the siblings moments later, sporting a leopard print blazer, white shirt and faux leather trousers.
The Essex girl, who usually looks like a walking advert for fake tan, also appeared to be noticeably paler.

But considering the day she's had, fans probably won't be surprised.
On Wednesday night's episode of TOWIE, Chloe revealed the real reason she had distance herself from Elliott - he had slept with a former flame in their bed.
During a heated confrontation with the Essex boy, she said: 'You've been letting everyone think that I'm this b***h who’s to blame for the breakdown of our relationship - but you let another girl sleep in our bed!'
Acknowledging her accusation, Elliott admitted that there was an 'incident' where a girl came back to his flat but he insisted he never actually cheated.
But Chloe looked anything but reassured as they spoke over a glass of wine in a local Italian restaurant.

'You’re trying to tell me that this girl, who you've slept with before, just climbed into your bed while you were in the shower,' she said while visibly upset.
'Even if that was the case, you should have said "Get out! That's where my girlfriend sleeps!" I can't believe you let another woman sleep where I sleep.'
Elliott then tried to defend himself by verbally attacking Chloe. During their heart to heart, he accused his estranged girlfriend of 'ruining' their relationship in Ibiza by behaving ‘coldly’ towards him.
But Chloe completely shut him down.
'You should count yourself lucky that I'm here right now because you definitely wouldn’t put up with me sleeping in in bed with another man,' she continued.

Guilty conscience? The Essex boy looked visibly upset when he opened up about Chloe
'This is so stressful. A relationship shouldn't be like this.'
Despite Chloe's blunt words, Elliott was adamant that he still wanted to be in a relationship with her.
Mark Wright's cousin ended the conversation by asking the beautician whether or not she still wanted to be his girlfriend.
'Well, I made up my decision last night,' admitted Chloe. 'I think we're both done.'
The pair had only been dating for five months when they split, however, both admitted that they were serious about each other.
The drama continues in The Only Way Is Essex, exclusively on ITVBe on Sunday at 10pm.
