Amber Turner Slams Towie: "I Hate the Show"

Reality star Amber Turner has made a shocking revelation about her feelings towards hit TV show Towie, admitting that she hates it and is miserable most of the time while filming. The blonde beauty, who is also part of the new Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins line-up, questioned why she is even still doing the Essex-based show in a recent interview.

Why Continue Filming?

Amber Turner, 30, revealed that she can't wait to tune into each episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and watch the trials and tribulations from her time in the Vietnamese jungle. However, when it comes to Towie, she never puts herself on telly and has no interest in watching her own scenes.

A Love-Hate Relationship

"I'm really excited to watch it," Amber said of Celebrity SAS. "I don't watch myself back on Towie. I don't get excited about the series because 95 percent of my time on the show is not enjoyable. Doing SAS was more enjoyable than Towie." In an apparent dig at her Towie co-stars, she added, "I am really proud to be taking part in a show which has had so many incredible people on. I'm proud to be amongst Olympians and sports stars, then there is little old me."

Towie Gives Amber a Sense of Purpose

While Amber has mixed feelings about Towie, she acknowledges that the show has helped her through her recent breakup from boyfriend Dan Edgar. "I don't know why I still do Towie to be honest," she confessed. "I think I would be lost without it in a weird sense. It has been such a big part of my life. It kind of gives me a purpose. It got me out of the house, forced me to put my makeup on rather than just be at home a bit depressed and sad."

Love and Hate

Amber describes her relationship with Towie as a love-hate one. "It definitely is a love, hate relationship," she admitted. "I love it but I hate it at the same time. I wouldn't change it though. It can be a toxic relationship but it can also be really healthy for me. It's one of those roller coaster relationships."

The new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins starts on Tuesday at 9:30pm on Channel 4. The series will continue every Sunday at 9:00pm.
