She announced her brief return over the weekend.
And TOWIE fans will not have to wait long for the comeback of Danielle Armstrong, as a teaser for Sunday’s episode saw the star shock her former co-stars at the Halloween party – with none so shocked as her ex-beau James Lock.
As Wednesday’s episode came to a close, the next time segment saw the show’s resident hunk storm out of the bash, undoubtedly due to his acrimonious split from Danielle and her alleged row with his girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou earlier this year.
On Saturday, Danielle confirmed for one night she would star in the special, filmed in Norfolk, where she must come face-to-face with her ex and his girlfriend.
Naturally it was tipped to be explosive, as her last awkward run-in with the couple reportedly saw her thrown out of Essex club Sheesh after a heated exchange in April.
The teaser clip showed just how shocking the arrival is set to be, as Danielle was unveiled to the group by pulling down her hood – after which James appears to storm out when Danielle simply says: ‘Happy Halloween’.
As the grinning stunner looks at her former co-star, enraged James said: ‘How’s that even funny?’, before Chloe Sims goes to hug Danielle while cheekily stating: ‘You’re not very subtle are you?’
