Uh oh, looks like The Only Way Is Essex producers might have a mutiny on their hands (although we’re not sure most of the cast even know what that means). Anyway they’re pretty pissed off at the moment, claiming they are overworked and underpaid (aren’t we all?). According to reports some of the cast moaned that they had to work for 13 hours in the heat on Sunday and many of those scenes didn’t even make the episode. It’s thought that some of those who aren’t happy bunnies include Gemma Collins, Mario Falcone, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Billi Mucklow. At the moment they only get paid £80 a day to appear on the show but they reckon that this series they are being made to work harder than before. Some of them also reckon they’ve had to go without a holiday this year because they had to film the special in Marbella (to be fair most of them have gone away apart from that). But either way they’re not happy about it and the whole thing came to a head on Sunday when several stars walked off set and the rest of them had a go at the producers about their behaviour.

 It’s thought that a few of them have been bitching that their scenes have been dropped because the producers want to focus on Arg and Gemma ( it has been very GemArg heavy so far). An insider revealed: “A lot of the cast members have been complaining about how hard they are worked for little money. On Sunday a lot of them put in a 13-hour day and later found their scenes had been dropped. There are a lot of unhappy stars at the moment.” The producers should know better than to cross the Essex lot, we’ve all seen what they’re like when it comes to confrontation, insults like ‘Capri sun’ will get thrown around. They have been warned. UPDATE: A short while ago, Mario Falcone, who stars in the show, tweeted us to deny the claims, he wrote: “very much not true mate x.” Let’s hope he’s right because Sundays and Wednesdays wouldn’t be the same without a bit of Essex, would they?
