The incident, which saw Chloe lob tumblers at Roman, is said to have last cast members and crew shocked.
An insider The Sun: “Chloe and Roman’s row escalated so quickly no one saw it coming.
“They were arguing then Chloe suddenly threw three glass tumblers – Roman was right in front of her.
“One of the glasses hit him and smashed. There was glass everywhere.”
A TOWIE spokesperson has since confirmed: “Chloe Brockett will not be returning to filming for the remainder of the series.”
It has been reported that Chloe has apologised to Roman following the incident, which took place during filming in Brentwood last week.
It comes after Chloe made a cryptic comment about “toxic friends” on social media earlier this monthas she hinted at the numerous feuds set to air on the new series of the ITVBe reality show.
Her spat with former mates Amber Turner was well documented in the latest ITVBe series.
Chloe confirmed their friendship was “over” earlier this summer.
Fans watched Chloe break down in tears as she admitted to co-star Courtney Green that she was fed up on their pal Amber “constantly digging her out”.
Chloe has since given more insight into the bitter fall out, as one fan mused online: “You are my reason I’ve cut off my toxic friendships.”

“Obviously you could see at the end of last series certain friendship groups were coming to an end anyway, so that naturally happened. I feel like as well, the majority of them aren’t friendship groups, it’s more civilness.
“Then I think to myself should I start being civil with everyone. And then I’m like you guys would be like ‘has Chloe hit her head’, I don’t plan on being civil with people.
“I’m one of these people, we’re either friends or we’re not. There is no grey area with me but I feel a lot of cast members have done that for an easier life.
“And that’s not a bad thing, that’s their decision. But on my part, I’m going to continue to be how I am and that means no civilness around here b****.”
