Amy Childs knows how to ruffle a few TOWIE feathers and she did exactly that this week when she declared some of the usual suspects should be culled from the cast.

The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star listed engaged couple Lucy Mecklenburgh and Mario Falcone amongst those stars she reckoned were "boring" and needed to quit the ITV2 show.
But the pair exclusively hit back when Yahoo! omg! caught up with them today at the launch of Titanic 3D on Blu-Ray. Mario said: "With all due respect to Amy, anyone that saw 'It's All About Amy" will agree that was boring.
"TOWIE's still getting over a million viewers every episode so we'll stick to what we're doing and she should stick to what she's doing."
That's her told then.
With Amy also suggested regulars Lauren Pope and Chloe Sims should leave the show, we asked Lucy and Mario whether they reckoned the reality series could do with some newbies.

Lucy said: "It's always nice to have a new face. Keeps it fresh. And whatever happens, whether there's drama we always end up friends at the end of it."
We interviewed the loved-up pair whilst they sat on a mock of the famous Titanic chaise-long where Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) drew a picture of Rose (Kate Winslet) naked.
And so we had to ask whether it's something Mario had ever considered doing for his beau.
Mario laughed and said: "It's funny you should say that because it's what we're doing this afternoon about 2 o'clock."
Meanwhile Lucy - who was dressed in a ballgown a la Rose as the two posed next to the ACTUAL dress that Kate Winslet waded through those ghastly waters in - didn't think much of the idea telling us: "I would not want him to because he'd do something funny and upset me. That's what he'd do."
Mario revealed that Titanic is his favourite film. Copyright [Wenn]
But the hunky Essex lad revealed he's *actually* a rather big Titanic fan himself. He told us: "It's the first ever film I saw in the cinema and I literally know it word for word. When I used to be off sick I used to watch it three or four times in a day."
So has he modelled his romantic ways on the rather gorgeous Leonardo DiCaprio?
Mario told us: "No I haven't modelled myself on Leo. I'd say more like Cal [the baddy played by Billy Zane)."
But Lucy begs to differ, telling us: "Mario is really really romantic so he must have got it from somewhere."
Titanic is out in 3D and 2D on Blu-Ray now!
