She recently split from her girlfriend of four months, Francesca Farago.
But Demi Sims was moving onward and upward in her heartache when she met up with her sister Frankie and their TOWIE co-star Harry Derbidge for a spot of lunch in their native Essex on Friday afternoon.
Stepping out in a stylish white coat, Demi, 24, sat down to grab a bite with glamorously-clad Frankie, 25, and leather trouser rocking Harry, 27.

Wearing a dress beneath her long white coat, Demi stepped out bare-legged, wearing white socks and sliders, while carrying a white pair of heels in her hand.
She wore her hair loose, and accessorised her tresses with two green butterfly clips. She carried her belongings in a chic white handbag.
Frankie, meanwhile, slipped into a gorgeous animal print dress and kept the cold at bay with a leather jacket. She tied her look together with a pair of open-toe heels.
Harry rocked leather trousers which he teamed with a black satin bomber jacket and lace-up boots, for an edgy look to match his pals.

It comes after Demi and her ex-girlfriend Francesca, 27, called it quits last week after a whirlwind four-month romance.

On last week’s show, the reality star and her sister Frankie had a heart-to-heart as the model admitted she felt ‘lonely’ ever since she moved out of the home they shared in Essex to live with the Canadian bombshell in London.
Frankie recalled a chat she had with Amy Childs and Harry about missing her younger sister, sharing: ‘I just told them I was feeling so lonely. You’re my best friend and sister, we haven’t had any time on our own.
‘I feel like we’re so distant. I just feel so empty at the minute Dem. I’m so scared of losing you as you’re everything wrapped up in one Dem. This is the first time we’ve been separated, and it’s just been really hard.’

‘I feel like I’ve always been your rock, I moved out and it wasn’t planned. I’ve missed you too, you’ve always been my best friend’, Demi replied.
Sharing a picture of roses, Francesca confirmed their break-up on Instagram last week, penning: ‘I really didn’t want to have to address this today, but I am already getting attacked on social media so I might as well bite the bullet since I have no choice.
‘Demi and I are no longer together. We decided to go our separate ways this morning. Nothing bad happened. We were both loyal to one another and still love each other.

‘Sometimes people just don’t work perfectly together and that’s OK. We rushed into living together without knowing if our personalities and daily life meshed well together.
‘I wish we could have had a few days to emotionally cope with this in private but we chose to share our entire relationship with you guys which is why I’m posting this now.’
Eagle-eyed fans noticed the former couple had stopped following each other on social media.

While asking her followers to respect her privacy because they are having an ‘extremely difficult time,’ she added: ‘I would have loved to remain friends and in each other’s lives but she thought seeing me on social media would be too difficult for her, which is why she wanted to block me.
‘In life when a couple breaks up this is a coping mechanism and they don’t get scrutinised by thousands of people for how they choose to act after a heartbreaking situation. I want you guys to know nothing bad happened between us.
‘Please be kind and respect our privacy. It is an extremely difficult time for both of us and negative, inaccurate and presumptuous comments make it much more difficult. It did take a toll on our relationship as well.’
The pair had moved in with each other after falling in love on holiday in Mexico, and even got tattoo tributes of their initials.
