## Casting and early life
Green is from Essex, England[1](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/courtney-green.html). She attended King Solomon High School and has described herself as not very academic; after leaving school she studied editing and post-production for two years before quitting university, saying she found the writing difficult[4](https://www.thejc.com/life/ive-received-heartbreaking-antisemitic-messages-says-jewish-towie-star-ampvfvvu). At 19 she took a temporary role at a technology company[4](https://www.thejc.com/life/ive-received-heartbreaking-antisemitic-messages-says-jewish-towie-star-ampvfvvu), and Famous Birthdays records her pre-fame job as a junior PA[1](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/courtney-green.html).
Her entry into television came through Essex nightlife. A producer on ITV's BAFTA-winning *The Only Way Is Essex* spotted her and her friends at a nightclub and invited them to join the show for its 17th series[4](https://www.thejc.com/life/ive-received-heartbreaking-antisemitic-messages-says-jewish-towie-star-ampvfvvu). She and [Chloe Meadows](https://www.edgepedia.org/chloe-meadows) joined the program in 2016, and Green was announced as a replacement for either [Ferne McCann](https://www.edgepedia.org/ferne-mccann) or [Jess Wright](https://www.edgepedia.org/jess-wright)[1](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/courtney-green.html).
## On *The Only Way Is Essex*
TOWIE is a structured-reality (hybrid genre: real people in constructed scenarios) series following the lives of people living in Essex, first aired in 2010[5](https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/the-only-way-is-essex/cast/1000427361/). Green became one of its longest-serving cast members, credited as "Courtney" from 2016 to 2026[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7951712/) • [3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1737565/fullcredits). Her storylines in her first series centered on tensions within the female cast: Chloe Sims left her and Chloe Meadows off a party guest list in the series 17 finale, and Georgia Kousoulou offered the pair an olive branch mid-season[6](https://www.itv.com/watch/the-only-way-is-essex/1a9310/1a9310a0207). In series 20, [Megan McKenna](https://www.edgepedia.org/megan-mckenna) and Chloe Meadows came to blows, leading to a tearful plea from Green[7](https://www.itv.com/watch/the-only-way-is-essex/1a9310/1a9310a0245).
The show has given her a platform beyond entertainment. Viewers saw her go for a smear test on camera after turning 25, the age at which women in the UK are invited to book their first cervical screening[8](https://www.vice.com/en/article/ten-years-of-towie-2020-interview/).
**Beyond TOWIE.** Her television credits include the 2019 series *Celebs on the Ranch*, the 2018 TV special *NHS Heroes Awards with Paul O'Grady*, and a 2018 episode of *Celebrity Ghost Hunt*[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7951712/). In 2024 she appeared on *You Alright, Hun? The Official TOWIE Podcast* with castmate Jordan Brook, discussing the show and the fallout among the members of a girl band[9](https://podscan.fm/podcasts/you-alright-hun-the-official-towie-podcast/episodes/jordan-brooks-health-battle-amp-courtney-green-on-girlband-fall-out).
## Public profile
Green is Jewish and has spoken about the abuse that followed her television career. In a 2023 interview with *The Jewish Chronicle* she said she had received heartbreaking antisemitic messages on social media[4](https://www.thejc.com/life/ive-received-heartbreaking-antisemitic-messages-says-jewish-towie-star-ampvfvvu). She has also described her ambivalence about online attention; in a 2020 interview she said she disliked Twitter so much that she hid the app in a locked-away folder on her phone[8](https://www.vice.com/en/article/ten-years-of-towie-2020-interview/).
Her reality fame carried over to social media, with more than 550,000 Instagram followers and 130,000 Twitter followers reported by Famous Birthdays[1](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/courtney-green.html). She has been publicly linked to Myles Barnett, Chris Clark, and Callum Bushby[1](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/courtney-green.html).
