TOWIE first look: Roman enlists Junaid’s help to try to win Dani back

This Sunday’s TOWIE episode will be filled with drama, suspense and romance right from the start.

Roman Hackett, 20, and Dani Imbert, 23, called their romance time last year after joining the show in 2021 as ‘best friends’.

But Sunday night’s episode shows that all is not lost as Roman devises a plan to win her back.

In the seventh episode of The Only Way Is Essex, the cast plans a beach party for Jordan’s birthday before the sun sets on their last day in Thailand, but are surprised when he’s nowhere to be seen…

A shocking confrontation between Dani and Roman on the beach culminates in a gulp of booze, and Dani has some choice words for Diags and Lockie…

As the cast returns to Essex, Roman plays Junaid Ahmed, 28, to get Dani back, but will she give in to his charms?

In a trailer for the episode, Roman can be heard saying, “I lied to the girl I’m mad at and I need help. I’ve loved her for a long time, you know how much I love her.’

Junaid seems willing to help and responds, “I know how much she means to you, so I’ll do everything I can to try and get you two back on track. For me, I want to see you two together.

“You made a stupid mistake, but you know it and I won’t be the one to rub it in your face.

“This is the first step in getting Dani back. You have to graft. Dani Imbert, the one you love loves roses.”

Fans must therefore imagine that Roman will arrange a romantic surprise filled with flowers for his love.

Meanwhile, Jordan and Sophie go from strength to strength as they discuss their impending move, and are there any babies on the way?

Elsewhere, Harry tells his mother about the Thailand drama and reflects on his kiss with Junaid – could there be something between the pair?

It comes after Dani and Roman appeared to be enjoying a secret first date at Tarantinos Restaurant in Brentwood back in March.

The reality stars, who joined the hit show together as “best friends” in 2021, looked more loved-up than ever as they socialized outside the restaurant.

Dani dressed to impress for the evening in a plunging black mini dress, while Roman looked smart in a black shirt and nude trousers.

Dani added inches to her body in a pair of sky-high dark heels and lugged her belongings around in a designer bag.

The pair were all smiles as they put on a flirty display after their romantic date night.

They walked hand in hand before Roman put his arm around Dani as they walked home.

Earlier in March, The Sun revealed that the pair had pursed lips and were an item when the cast of TOWIE traveled to Thailand for filming.

A source told The sun: ‘Friendship turned into romance when they were away in Thailand. Everyone knows they’re a couple now.

“It’s actually really sweet and feels like it was meant to be all along.”

Previously, Dani dated co-star Liam Gatsby and was labeled a “f***ing joke” by her new beau Roman before storming off in a rage.

After the argument, Roman and Dani had a heart to heart, but tempers flared again after he asked her, “Did you tell me before that you’re not happy with Gatsby.”

Tearful Dani replied, “Maybe I confided in you a little too much. Maybe it’s insecurity, whatever.’

Roman was again left angry and told Dani, “Continue with your fake relationship, yes. You’re joking.’

Dani and Liam later broke up when she revealed that she and Roman spent the night together and shared a kiss.

The pair denied any romantic connection, but their co-stars speculated if they were more than just friends.

The Only Way Is Essex airs Sundays at 9pm on ITVBE and ITVX.
