TOWIE’s filming in Bali has been thrown into more chaos after rain has halted filming.

Junaid Ahmed, who has been on the show since 2022, shared a photo from his hotel room with his feet up on the bed.
He simply captioned it “Rainy Days in Bali” as he spends the day indoors. It comes just hours after the group were seen donning bikinis and swimsuits to soak up the Bali sun as they started shooting the latest series. Junaid is there with boyfriend Joe Blackmore, which is awkward considering Joe’s ex, Harry Derbidge, is also there with the gang.
Since arriving, he’s noting that the “jet lag was killing him” and had noted the heat and humidity had been getting to Joe.
