TOWIE’s Chloe Meadows dazzles in a busty bikini with Courtney Green and Amber Turner in swimsuits

The new season of The Only Way is Essex began filming this week in Thailand.

And Chloe Meadows stunned in a leopard-print bikini as she joined swimsuit-clad co-stars Courtney Green and Amber Turner in Phuket on Monday.

Other stars seen arriving on set included James Lock, Dan Edgar, Jordan Brook, Ella Rae Wise, and Dani Imbert.

Chloe, 31, shows off her incredible figure in a triangle bikini top that she paired with crochet shorts.

She draped a linen shirt over her shoulders and apparently didn’t put on any makeup for her sun-drenched outing.

Courtney, 27, opted for a khaki two-piece suit and shielded her face with a matching cap and tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Filming for the latest series comes after longtime cast member Pete Wicks has left the show after seven years, MailOnline exclusively revealed.

The 34-year-old reality personality will announce to her loyal fanbase that she is taking a step away from the ITVBe series to focus on new TV projects.

After seven years on the show, in which the long-haired heartthrob rose to fame thanks to his relationships with his former co-stars Megan McKenna, 30, Chloe Sims, 41, and Ella, 22, Pete seeks to explore new opportunities away from the world of reality television.

A source told MailOnline that Pete’s departure has been a huge blow to ITVBe executives.

The show already suffered the loss of longtime cast member Chloe, as well as her sisters Demi and Frankie, last year.

A source revealed: “Pete is a beloved member of TOWIE with both viewers and cast.

“But it’s time for him to move on, he’s a bit older than the rest of the cast and he hopes to achieve more in his career after being on the show for so long.”

“It’s been a monumental season and his storylines will go down in TOWIE history, but for now he’s stepping back.”

A second source added: “Pete will continue to cameo on TOWIE when it makes sense to appear alongside his friends, but he will no longer be a full-fledged cast member.”

MailOnline reached out to TOWIE and Pete’s spokesperson for comment at the time.

Pete joined TOWIE in 2015 billed as James Lock’s best friend and immediately spotted Jess Wright.

He soon became a main character in the series, having an affair with The X Factor winner Celebrity Megan, with whom he had a tempestuous relationship.

Their romance came to an explosive end when Megan discovered that Pete had been sending explicit text messages to his ex-girlfriend, Jacqui Ryland.

He dated Miss Great Britain and co-star Shelby Tribble, who has since had a baby with former TOWIE cast member Sam Mucklow.

He later had a rocky relationship with Chloe, who was heartbroken when Pete wasn’t ready to commit and it dramatically affected their friendship.
