Life for sisters Demi and Frankie Sims has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride lately. They uprooted to Los Angeles in early 2023 to film their hit reality show, House Of Sims, alongside sister Chloe, 42, brother Charlie, 32, and his 32-year-old girlfriend, Georgia Shults.
However, tensions soon arose – and quickly reached boiling point with a massive row over a wi-fi bill – resulting in an ongoing rift between the four siblings, who have been at odds ever since. This led to Demi and Frankie heading home to Essex, leaving Charlie and Chloe in the US.
“We’re still finding our feet,” Frankie explained, speaking exclusively to us at the National Reality TV Awards 2024, where the family’s Netflix show picked up the gong for Most Inspiring TV Show.
Now, as they navigate the next chapter in their lives, Demi, 27, and Frankie, 29, could even be opening their hearts to romance.
Demi and former Love Island star Eve Gale shocked fans earlier this year when they revealed their relationship. However, Demi has now confirmed she is single.
But one family member who may well have found love is their cousin, Joey Essex, who just left the Love Island villa.
Here, Frankie and Demi lift the lid on the new “Mrs Joey Essex”, why they ditched life in LA to return to their Essex roots – and whether they’d ever go back to TOWIE...
Hi, Demi and Frankie! Did you both tune in to Love Island to watch your cousin Joey?
Demi: He was so entertaining. You’ve got to give it to the guy, he is TV gold.
