Piers Morgan has build up an unexpected friendship with TOWIE bombshell Chloe Brockett.
The outspoken presenter has previously slammed “brain dead” reality stars in the past.
However, he has admitted to Chloe, 21, that “Essex girls aren’t what they seem” after they met at hair salon in London.
They got engaged in conversation three years before the brunette beauty found fame on the ITVBe show.
Piers even told former TOWIE star Megan McKenna about his chat with Chloe.
Despite being originally “so scared” to meet him, Chloe has recalled her first meeting with Piers, who she says called her “intelligent”.
The Celebs Go Dating star told The Sun: “I remember he was really tall. He asked where I was from and told me how he’d just met Megan McKenna and that he found her really clever and business-savvy.
“We followed each other on Instagram and then a few months later he told me he’d shown Megan my Instagram and told her how intelligent I was.
“He kept saying Essex girls aren’t what they seem. He found us all very interesting and was intrigued about how entrepreneurial we all are.”
Chloe and Piers bumped into each at the ITV Gala after she launched her career on The Only Way Is Essex.
She explained that the former Good Morning Britain called her name and gave her a “massive hug” at the glitzy bash.
The father of four has even commented on one of Chloe’s Instagram posts in the past.
Chloe is currently taking part in E4 reality show Celebs Go Dating but during a recent Instagram question and answer session with fans, she confessed it didn’t work out for her.
One fan asked the star: “Are you seeing anyone at the moment?”
Responding by posting a photo of her with the Celebs Go Dating agents Paul Brunson and Anna Williamson, Chloe wrote: “No. I don’t think I’ve ever been more single.
“And I’m happy being single. I like my own company and focusing on myself, I don’t want a boyfriend at the moment.”

However, it didn’t work about between the pair.
