Wayne Lineker
Gary Lineker's brother Wayne offended Chloe Sims in his 'The Only Way is Essex' debut.
The bar owner - who was declared bankrupt last year and jailed for tax fraud in 2006 - got off to a controversial start with his first appearance on the ITV2 reality show last night (02.06.13) when he caused the 32-year-old brunette to storm off, branding him an "a**ehole".
The 50-year-old silver fox joined the rest of the cast in Marbella, Spain, for a one-off special and seemed to hit it off with blonde beauty Lauren Pope beside the pool, before pushing his luck and asking her out on a date.
Lauren - who was less than enthusiastic about the date - invited her busty pal Chloe along for moral support, but after she made a subtle dig about Wayne's grey hair and age, the dinner came to an abrupt end.
Wayne snapped at Chloe: "You're not attracted to me then. You're not my type either, you look like an Essex girl. You're the original Essex girl... Lauren's gorgeous."
Chloe then argued: "So I'm not your type and I'm not gorgeous? I feel like you're digging me out. I don't think OAPs can go to where we're going to.
"Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed for you. I'm going to go. I thought you were an a**hole the first time I met you and you are. Bye!"
Wayne - who already owns a range of clubs in Ibiza and Magaluf - is set to introduce a new party hotspot to the Essex crew in a bid to replace Mick Norcross, who banned producers from filming in his 'Suger Hut' nightclub after he quit the show.
TV bosses are hoping signing up Wayne as a 'TOWIE' regular will encourage his brother Gary Lineker and his wife Danielle to make a cameo in the programme, according to The Daily Mirror newspaper.
