An explosive argument broke out between the cast of 'The Only Way is Essex' earlier this week - but the cameras weren't rolling.
Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet
The drama unfolded at Essex's famous nightclub Sugarhut on Wednesday (20.07.16) after Tommy Mallet reportedly went "apes**t" at his girlfriend Georgia Kousoulou just before the gang were about to film the upcoming episode on Sunday (24.07.16).
Speaking about the ruckus, an onlooker told The Sun Online: "All of a sudden Georgia ... she come running down the stairs with rollers in her hair and she said 'I can't believe the way he's just spoken to me', and like crying and Chloe was trying to comfort her.
"Tommy Mallet just [went] absolutely apes**t, screaming, swearing."
However, the 25-year-old beauty wasn't the only one to be on the receiving end of Tommy's hot-headed temperature as the 26-year-old hunk later turned on Dan Edgar and shoved him against a wall.
The source explained: "Tommy Mallet just run into the restaurant where there was all families sitting with their little kids ... and got Dan up against the wall. It was just mayhem. Tommy just absolutely went ballistic. They weren't just shouting - it was a mess. Producers were running round like blue-arsed flies."
Tommy was immediately escorted off of the premises following his outburst, whilst his fellow cast mates - Megan McKenna and her new flame Pete Wicks, Gemma Collins, Lydia Bright and her former beau James 'Arg' Argent - began filming for the current series.
The source said: "Security ran in and dragged Tommy Mallet out and pulled him over to the side. He was absolutely going mental.
"They wouldn't let him back on set. They escorted him off the premises. He wasn't seen again after that."
Meanwhile, the manager of the Brentwood bar dished out free beverages to all guests who witnessed the spectacle as a token of his apology.
