WATCH THE EX ON THE BEACH SERIES 9 CAST TEASE ALL OF THE DRAMA:

Joining Aaron and Natalee on the beach of doom are a whole new squad of scorned romantics – Rhianne Saxby, Alicia Bradon, Josiah Miller, Zayn London, Bobby Ballard, Bayley Jenkins and Daisy Robins (who you may recognise from Made In Chelsea).

Teasing a “brutal,” “shocking,” “naughty” and “awkward” series, our new singletons have exclusively revealed some of the most explosive and downright dramatic moments that will be hitting our screens.

We’re talking a “whole villa argument” and, according to Rhianne, “drinks being thrown, chairs being thrown, people just kicking off left, right and centre.”

Aaron, who witnessed his fair share of drama in Spring Break With Grandad, adds: “A guy in the villa, his ex – who he was rekindling with – goes on a date with her ex. Nobody expects them to get together, then when she comes back, he finds out they’ve got together and he goes off the rail.”

This is one holiday nightmare they’re DEFINITELY going to want to wake up from.

That pesky Tablet of Terror isn’t making things any easier for this series’ Sangria-sipping singletons either, with Alicia revealing: “Someone went down to the beach to meet their ex, but actually ended up being sent home. It was brutal!”

And the exes are as #savage as ever, with Natalee explaining: “The most dramatic ex arrival for me would be one of the lads because he comes in to a serious relationship of seven years and literally f*cks things right up.”

But don’t pack away your bucket and spade just yet, because this series will still be packed full of sexy moments, with the singletons admitting that we can expect a boat party, “champagne going everywhere,” and a scenario involving body shots.

Daisy also teased that there’s one couple “bonking night-time, daytime, all the time,” while Rhianne added: “There’s a couple in here getting hot and sweaty in that shower.”

Business as usual then?
