TOWIE’s Chloe Sims, James ‘Lockie’ Locke and Bobby Norris transform into Peaky Blinders characters

TOWIE’s Chloe Sims, James ‘Lockie’ Locke and Bobby Norris transformed into Peaky Blinders characters for a new interview with Best magazine on Tuesday.

The TV personality, 38, dressed up in a beaded dress to become Aunt Polly (Helen McCrory), while James, 34, suited up to transform into Shelby family leader Tommy (Cillian Murphy), and Bobby, also 34, turned into Arthur (Paul Anderson).

Chloe looked sensational in her white flapper dress that she paired with a matching beaded necklace that complemented her look. 

Her blonde locks were styled into loose waves, and she accentuated her plump pout with a slick of dark red lipstick.

Of her similarities to Aunt Polly, Chloe claimed she’s someone who commands respect: ‘ think people perceive me as tough, like her. But in the last series of TOWIE, I showed a more vulnerable side. 

‘Like Polly, I can’t tolerate disrespect or rudeness! I’ve had quite a tough life, so I’ve learned to be tough, but deep-down I’m more vulnerable than people think.’

James, meanwhile, claimed it was only right he be dressed as lead character Tommy, as he sees himself as the patriarch of the TOWIE family.

He explained to the publication: ‘Look, even Pete [Wicks] would tell you – I’m the leader of the gang. All the TOWIE boys know who the guv’nor is. 

‘I’m a natural born leader. All the boys on the show listen to me. I’m the old head now. My girlfriend Yaz calls me ‘old man’, too – she terrorises me. 

‘But I’m like a fine wine, getting better with age. I could be ageing like Pete – he’s like Ronnie Wood!’ 

Bobby, who was dressed as Arthur, couldn’t help but gush over the show’s lead star, as he said: ‘I love the fashion. The guys look so fit in their little outfits with those flat- caps! And Cillian Murphy, with those stunning blue eyes…what’s not to love, haha!’

Chloe also spoke candidly about her relationship with Pete Wicks, after the latter admitted that they had ‘blurred the lines’ between friendship and something more earlier this year.

‘We’ve been best mates for seven years, I obviously have feelings for him,’ Chloe said. ‘It went beyond friendship for a couple of years, and was very on and off. 

‘We’re taking some time apart right now, it was all a bit stressful having our relationship come out publicly, for both of us – but I have no bad blood with Pete. I just can’t have him in my world right now.’

While James admitted he struggled early on during the coronavirus crisis as he felt ‘a bit lost’, but said: ‘In the last six months I’ve gone on a massive health-kick.

‘I’m teetotal for now, haven’t drunk for four months. I’ll have a tipple or two at Christmas and New Year’s Eve, but I honestly feel like a new man!’

Bobby tried to remain positive despite the past year, as he told the publication: ‘I feel good, and I’m a glass half-full sort of person. Despite the bad, 2020 was the year I’ve fallen in love with fitness. It’s what got me through.’
