Chloe's business is only the latest venture from a TOWIE export to close his doors in recent years, after James Lock's cafe Lockie's Kitchen shut its doors in November.

According to The Sun, the business went into liquidation in November in 2017, but a fan posted on TripAdvisor a year later a snap of a sign on the cafe's window, telling fans that they had ceased trading.

And back in April Lucy Mecklenburgh's Brentwood shop Lucy's Boutique also shut its doors, with a spokesperson telling Essex Live that the brand would continue online.

They said: 'Lucy's boutique is a family run business and will continue to be so,' a spokesperson on behalf of Lucy said.

'The decision not to extend the lease on the shop was taken when it came up for renewal but the boutique will continue to be an online business with the same staff, which like many other stores in this era has always been the core of the company.

'We value all our customers past and present and will continue to offer them the best in fashion online.'

And back in 2016 Joey Essex's clothes shop Fusey closed after three years in operation, amid claims by neighboring shop-owner Nigel Clarke didn't want to get involved in the Brentwood community, according to The Sun.
