Dan Osborne joins the TOWIE suspension list: From Mario Falcone to Lucy Mecklenburgh here are the naughty stars
Dan Osborne isn't the only reality star to face the chop, and the reasons have ranged from drugs right through to Twitter spats and moaning
The reality star has been told to stay away from the set after leaked audio appears to show him threaten his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin, it has been reported.
A spokesman for the show told Mirror Online: "We are speaking to Dan about this incident, and in the meantime he will not be taking part in filming."
In Sunday night's episode Dan's newborn daughter, Ella, was introduced to James Lock and Danielle Armstrong.
As Dan is temporarily suspended from TOWIE while show bosses investigate these claims, we take a look at more of the show's reality stars and their troubles.
Dan's not the only one to face the chop from the show, here's a few more:
Mario Falcone suspended
The video was reportedly filmed at a house in Essex and the person in the video is seen using a rolled-up bank note to snort the illegal drug from a kitchen surface.
Mario's job on the ITV2 programme was hanging in the balance as the entire cast flew out to Marbella to start filming the new series, but the 26-year-old didn't join them.
A TOWIE spokesperson told Mirror Online: "Mario won't be going out to Marbella while the matter is being looked into."
He admitted his suspension from the series was a wake up call as he had become “too arrogant” about his profile on the show.
Asked about cocaine video and headlines it made, Mario said: “The industry we are in and the age I am, you do things that are out of character and very immature and that is part of growing up. I think it was just part of growing up.
“It wasn't a dark place or anything like I have been in the past, it was just stupidity. It is a lesson learned.
“It is what it is. Legally I have been advised not to talk about it too much.

James Lock charged with possessing illegal drugs
A source said in April 2014: “James will be understandably disappointed. But he is looking forward to clearing his name in court.”
Lock was charged over an early morning bust-up with a minicab driver, in Dagenham, Essex, on February 9.
An insider added: “Lockie is an immensely popular chap with big story-lines but it is touch and go whether he stays on the show.”
The 27-year-old was initially held on suspicion of criminal damage and possession of class-A drugs and spent the night in the cells.
The drugs possession charge was later downgraded to class-C. It is believed the charge relates to the horse tranquiliser ketamine.
He has already appeared in court where he pleaded not guilty to both charges. He is due to appear again before magistrates at Romford, Essex, on June 27 2014.

The Sun reported the pair were suspended after an on-set fight, which resulted in Jasmin Walia being injured during the clash at James Argent's house.
A spokesperson told the newspaper at the time: "While our investigations continue, producers have informed Jessica and Lucy that they will not be filming."
The fight wasn't shown on TOWIE episodes, but the pair have since returned to filming and are both currently sunning themselves in Spain while filming The Only Way Is Marbs.

Lauren Goodger reportedly faced being fired from the show in April 2012 after an alleged showdown with the TV bosses during filming.
Surely not?
According to reports, Mark Wright's ex got into the showdown at a nightclub as the cast filmed scenes, and was told she couldn't film any more that week.
An insider told The Sun that Lauren accused producers of treating her badly, and moaned that her scenes were being pushed back.
They added: "Bosses were livid as Lauren was already an hour late while the rest of the crew had been there all day filming Arg, Billi and Cara doing the marathon."
She wrote on Twitter at the time: "Think about time spread my wings a lot things arising @NicolaGoodger @RiannaGoodger.
"Never been so angry in all my life! All I can say is what a shame."
The star quit just a few months later, and told the Sunday Mirror she hated seeing herself on screen next to her skinny co-stars.

But the pair were also reportedly in trouble with the show in March last year after ranting their feelings on Twitter.
According to The Sun, the brunette beauty angered TV bosses who threatened to fire the pair after she defended her man on the social networking site.
Lucy tweeted at the time: “Mario’s name has been tarnished because Towie producers didn’t do their research There is no proof!”
Mario joined in too.
"The producers are still lying to you all... Coronation street is more reality than TOWIE!" he Tweeted, then deleted. "Oh me and Little Chris set up our argument in the first episode, producers knew but still put it in - all very scripted!"
But a spokesperson for TOWIE claimed at the time they were simply off on their hols and would return to the ITV2 show after: "With regards to Lucy and Mario, they're just taking a short break from filming to get away from it all following those cheating rumours.
"We think they'll go on holiday and we'll catch up with them when they're back."
And so they did. Phew.
Arg poses completely naked on Twitter shocking everyone
Nevertheless, a naked selfie of Arg was leaked onto the internet in March.
In the picture, TOWIE's top crooner can be standing in the bathroom in front of the mirror.
He has his hand on the wall with the door wide open behind him and is looking at the screen of the phone as he takes the snap.
And Little Arg is completely on display for the lucky recipient of the picture to see.
While he was hardly going to get into serious trouble for this, fans certainly reacted in a mixed way, with some expressing their shock at the time.
Kirk Norcross performs sex act on Skype - leaked online
This takes the phrase being caught with your pants down to a whole new level of nakedness.TOWIE’s Kirk Norcross was forced to apologise after the most explicit pictures of him performing a sex act on himself emerged online.
The naked snaps of the serial shagger were revealed on Twitter in May last year and appear to be screengrabs (not a euphemism) from a Skype chat with a female.
While some people wrote about their shock and disgust at the graphic naughtiness, others complimented Kirk on the size of his manhood.
And the eagle-eyed among you will notice that Kirk is also smoking a cigarette while yanking on his dangly bits, which might just be something young people do these days.
Within a few hours of most of the interweb seeing his baby-maker, Kirk told his one million followers: “F*******ck!!!! People these days!!!! Cooooome oooonnn guys we have all done it I'm just the stupid one that got caught! Sorry guys :-(.”
Oops.
