The Only Way Is Essex saw so many relationships end tonight (October 18), we lost count.

Megan and Pete were once a genuinely adorable power couple, but it's become increasingly clear to them that they're just not meant to be – and now it's actually over.

Dan came calling with a peace offering to Amber T, but he got a brow-beating from Amber's mum instead.

And after Lauren called up Jon for his recent trash talk about Mario Falcone, Jon decided to walk out mid-date! Here's what the viewers had to say about all this drama:

So, Megan and Pete are finally at an end:

Amber's mum got involved, warning off Dan from her daughter and telling Amber she'd "bitch slap" her if she ever went back to him:

Lauren and Jon didn't exactly look too healthy either:

Still, there might be some good news on the horizon. Is a reunion on the cards for Arg and Gemma?

Elsewhere, Love Island's Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde were welcomed back for their baby shower:
