Back in Janaury, heat exclusively revealed that Lucy blocked mate (or non-mate?) Sam Faiers on Twitter over rivalry about their similar fitness websites with a friend of Lucy’s telling heat: “Lucy thinks Sam could have been more original”– and it seems the TOWIE feud is far from over.

In a new interview with The Sun's Fabulous magazine, she said: "I haven't seen Sam for I don't know how long, but that's not because we've fallen out. But you know what, she did copy my website, and there's no denying that.

“I came up with a new concept for a fitness website and most things on hers are very, very similar. Mine’s just probably a bit more advanced and got a bit more content on it. So yeah, it isn't the nicest thing for a friend to do - someone who you've been friends with since you were 11 - I must admit.

“She messaged me saying she did this because she fell in love with fitness after getting her strength back from Crohn’s [Sam was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in February 2014] and had decided to go down this path.

“So I told her that, honestly, I was very, very shocked she'd done it, but that I wished her all the luck in the world.

"We haven't spoken since, but there's been no fallout, and if I bumped into her I hope it wouldn't be awkward. There's always going to be competition - I think it's healthy. I just didn't expect the competition to be Sam."
