Gemma Collins crashed a £130,000 Lamborghini in Marbella.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the luxury sports car while filming as she scraped it against a wall, causing producers to lose their £2,500 deposit on the rental.
Gemma, 33, is seen driving the lavish car in tonight's episode of 'The Only Way is Marbs' but claims she didn't notice the damage - which also affected the arch wheel - as the engine was so loud.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Gemma was driving the car really confidently going round tight corners but ended up badly scratching it without even realising. She claimed the engine was so noisy that she couldn't hear anything.
"The car hire company was not happy and ended up docking the deposit."
Gemma's car troubles weren't the only bit of drama she got into during the 10-day trip to Marbella, Spain, as she also found herself in the middle of her gay best friends Bobby Norris and Harry Derbidge's relationship woes.
Harry admits to cheating on Bobby in shocking scenes to air tonight (25.06.14) and the heartbroken reality star is less than pleased that Gemma was aware of Harry's secret.
He previously said: "That was the start of everything. It got heated. She was in the middle. She basically knew more than I did.
"It looks like I'm about to throw my vodka and orange over her, but I don't throw alcohol around. I'll save that for the others. I'd much rather drink mine!"

Ronnie Corbett still mourns Ronnie Barker nine years after his death.
The 'Two Ronnies' star admits he is still haunted by the death of his comedy partner in 2005 and even avoids driving down a road where he had his last conversation with him.
He said: "I miss him, yes, oh God! I can't drive along the street off St James's [in London]. I took a call from Ron ... he said, 'You know I'm going.' That was the last time I spoke to him."
Barker died from heart failure in 2005, aged 76, after refusing valve replacement surgery.
As well as his work with Corbett, the comedian became a national treasure following his roles in hit sitcoms 'Porridge' and 'Open All Hours'.
Meanwhile, Corbett, 83, admits he is more cautious about his health after being hospitalised due to a gall bladder issue in March.
He told LBC Radio: "I have been in the business for 62 years. It's a match made in heaven. I still enjoy a glass of wine."
Barker's 'Open All Hours' co-star Sir David Jason recently paid tribute to the late comic after reviving the hit show for a Christmas special last year.
David said: "We did feel Ronnie's influence when we were filming and when people first saw the photos of me standing in the shop doorway they said that for a second they thought it was Ronnie. I wear the same gear Ronnie wore and for a minute it's like, 'God, the old man is back!' "

Victoria Pendleton wants to be an actress.
The Olympic medallist claims filming a cameo role on 'Emmerdale' has given her the acting bug and she would consider pursuing a TV career following her retirement from professional cycling after the London 2012 Olympics.
She said: "I'd genuinely love to learn acting skills. Just having done a bit, it's such a brilliant job! It seems so much fun. I was like, 'Is it always this relaxed? And they said, 'Yeah, it is actually.' "
Victoria, who got her first taste of television when she starred in 'Strictly Come Dancing', appears as herself in an upcoming episode of the ITV soap, which airs the night before the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in Yorkshire on July 5.
The storyline sees the athlete booked by Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) for the grand opening of the newly-refurbished Home Farm.
She teased: "It's a comical scene, not so much me being comical but the other characters around me are being awkward. We laughed a lot filming it."
Victoria, 33, and her family are long-time fans of 'Emmerdale', so she brought her mum along to meet cast members including Gaynor Faye and Jason Merrells.
She said: "It was lovely because all the actors were so friendly and approachable and were all chatting to my mum.
"I didn't have to say too much and I'm playing myself so hopefully it's convincing. If there's anyone I can play, it's me."

Bobby Norris says Gemma Collins is struggling to cope on 'The Only Way Is Marbs'.
'The Only Way Is Essex' star thinks his best pal is having a hard time seeing her former on/off boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent grow closer to his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright during filming for the ITV2 series' annual trip to Marbella, Spain.
Although Gemma has now found a new man, Bobby thinks she'll always carry a torch for Arg.
He said: "Seeing Arg fall back in love with Lydia, I think she'll find it hard."
The 27-year-old reality star - who is currently having his own relationship problems with his boyfriend Harry Derbidge - thinks Gemma was "in love" with Arg during the last series of TOWIE, despite her telling him that their relationship would never work.
Bobby told heat magazine: "I feel sorry for her - there's nothing like having unrequited love for someone. They had such a whirlwind romance in Marbella, so it's going to bring it back for Gem.
"I'm a little bit worried for her, but I hope she's alright."

Vernon Kay's daughters make him "cry all the time".
The TV presenter admits his two girls, Phoebe, nine, and Amber, five, with 'Strictly Come Dancing' host Tess Daly have the ability to reduce him to tears and he's become softer after becoming a father.
He told Britain's OK! magazine: "I cry all the time. Whenever the kids do something, I cry. When we were on holiday recently, both our girls performed songs from 'Frozen' at a talent show. I bawled my eyes out!"
Vernon, 40, is glad the couple's children are old enough to take care of themselves a bit more and has enjoyed the new social life that comes with being a parent.
He explained: "They're both independent, they get dressed, clean their teeth, put their school uniforms on and Tess does them a lovely ponytail. There are no nappies or feeds in the middle of the night!
"And you make friends with the parents at the school. That's really nice. I've got a new circle of friends through the kids."
The 'Family Fortunes' presenter recently celebrated his landmark 40th birthday but doesn't feel any different.
Vernon added: "I'm not really bothered. I don't feel old. I feel invigorated - Tess will back me up on that! I still feel like I can go to Ibiza and hit the dancefloor."

Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates has revealed a "ruthless" new character is set to join the cast.
Although plot details surrounding the newcomer are yet to be revealed, Kate hinted that the latest addition will shake up the dynamics of the village after he or she is introduced into the soap later this year.
She told Inside Soap magazine: "In the autumn there will be a new arrival with a very ruthless streak.
"It's going to affect some of the 'Emmerdale' old guard and mix up the character groups a little bit. Put it this way - the person will have a surprising allegiance."
Kate also hinted at an explosive autumn for the ITV soap as it welcomes back Aaron Livesy, played by Danny Miller, who departed the show in April 2012 after going on the run from the police.
The former 'Coronation Street' producer confirmed a current storyline will come to a head with scenes being shot away from the village.
Kate said: "We've got some big plans for the autumn ... we've got Aaron coming back.
"There will also be a huge pay-off for a story that started earlier this year, and I'm looking forward to it.
"It will happen in two stages and will be filmed somewhere away from the village. I know that's quite cryptic but that is all you're getting from me."

Wayne Rooney escort Jenny Thompson has blasted "nasty" 'Big Brother' star Helen Wood.
The 25-year-old former prostitute, who engaged in a three-in-a-bed romp with the England footballer and reality star in 2009, thinks her former pal is showing her true colours on the Channel 5 reality show.
Jenny said: "She's been quite nasty. Jale [Karaturp] was eating her food on the sofa and Helen called her a 'f***ing slug'. I just thought there was no need for it. She's being a bully.
"I don't think she's doing herself any favours. She said in her audition tape that she wants people to see a different side to her, but now she's in there slagging people off."
Jenny and Helen, 27, fell out after Jenny decided to sell her story about her trysts with Wayne.
However, the former hooker doesn't think Helen's antics on 'Big Brother' are affecting the footballer, who is currently in Brazil playing for England in the World Cup.
She told new! magazine: "I think Wayne is his own person and his football is his football. If he's not playing well, that's down to him. They probably don't even watch 'BB'."
Meanwhile, Jenny could soon be joining her former friend in the 'Big Brother' house as its rumoured the mum-of-one may be a late entrant on the show.

Binky Felstead was taken to hospital after burning her leg.
The 'Made in Chelsea' star was rushed to A&E in New York - where she and her cast mates are filming the upcoming Big Apple-set spin-off of the hit E4 reality show - yesterday (23.06.14) following an undisclosed mishap.
She sarcastically wrote on Twitter: "Always love a trip to A&E (sic)"
The message was enough to cause concern among her 700,000 followers, leading to the brunette beauty assuring fans she was OK.
She later wrote: "Burnt my leg- but I've well and truly lubed it up with lots of antiseptic cream! I'm on the mend (sic)"
Binky is currently filming E4's 'Made in Chelsea: New York' in the US and viewers have been left wondering the status of her relationship with Alex Mytton, who confessed to cheating on her in the last series of the show.
But while her romantic relationship continues to be a source of drama, it seems the 24-year-old star has mended another relationship - with former best friend Cheska Hull.
The pair have been posing for lots of cosy photos together during their stay in New York, including a recent New York Yankees baseball game.

Wayne Rooney's former fling Jenny Thompson is to enter the 'Big Brother' house.
The former escort - who made headlines after an alleged threesome with the England footballer and current 'Big Brother' contestant Helen Wood - is set to join her ex-best friend as a late entrant in the latest series of the Channel 5 reality show.
The pair haven't spoken since Helen, 27, blamed Jenny, 25, for going public with the scandalous liaison back in 2010 and show bosses are expecting sparks to fly between them, resulting in "unmissable viewing".
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "This will be like dropping a high-incendiary explosive into the house."
Producers have even put security on standby for when Jenny enters the famous reality TV house and believe the move may lead to Helen - who has been unpopular with viewers - deciding to quit the show.
The source said: "Helen has a pass to the final and it's clear viewers hate her. Having Jenny walk through those doors could actually make Helen walk and fans would love that."
Controversial Helen recently opened up about the infamous romp as she chatted to fellow housemate Ash Harrison.
She said: "We agreed not to tell anyone because he's married and this stupid slag said my name. I hate her."
However, Jenny has since rubbished her claims.
She said: "She is a nasty person and a bully. We haven't spoken in two years."
