What Has Chloe Said About Growing Up?
The TV star, whose mum walked out when she was just three, said on Towie: “I never knew my mum, and was fostered for 10 years. And then I was with my dad and his wife. I moved out on my 17th birthday and I had to pay bills and rent…
“I don’t remember being told that I was loved every day or feeling wanted growing up.”

Sims went on the explain that:
“I come from a broken home. I was fostered. This comes from two people having a baby when they’re not ready.”
She continued: “Then I had a child. I was pregnant at 22. I had to bring my daughter up on my own.
“So I know what it’s like to have a child, and also to come from a broken home. A baby is a life-long commitment.”
Has Chloe Had Any Contact With Her Mum?
The TOWIE star revealed: “I don’t know my birth mum. I’ve no memory of her at all. I think it was because of her age- she was only 19 when she had me.”

Despite not having any contact with her daughter since she was a toddler, Chloe’s mother tried to get in touch with her after she found fame on the reality TV show. Chloe said:
“She emailed me about two years ago when I first started on TOWIE, but I didn’t reply.”
“It was 27 years too late and I was a little bit over it by then. I’ve no desire to meet her or know her. I find it strange she’d wait that long to speak to her child.”
She added: “In the email she didn’t even mention Madison and she talked about herself more, so I don’t know what we’d have in common.”
