Captioning the snap – in which she wears a chic white outfit with a camel-coloured coat and checked scarf – Megan wrote: ‘Birthday celebrations continues… at one of my favourite places. Afternoon tea at @theritzlondon☕️🥂’

She went on to thank boyfriend Pete Wicks for her birthday present, writing: ‘Oh yeah and my new baby Thankyou @p_wicks01’

And, before you go getting excited at her ‘baby’ news, the emojis she included reveal she was talking about the shiny new handbag she’s clutching in the snap!

The bag in question is Celine’s Micro Luggage Bag, which retails for a cool £2,250. Wowsers!

Fans were united in their ‘well jel’ reaction, with one commenting: ‘Love! I’m a bag girl through and through! X’

Another one wrote: ‘Wowwww so unreal ’

Pete also shared a picture from the couple’s fancy afternoon out, posting on Instagram: ‘Afternoon tea…doing my best to fit in! ☕️’

Pete and Megan are going from strength to strength since getting back together earlier on in the year.

Did you notice this?

TOWIE viewers have seen a helluva lot of dates on the show over the years but the latest one has been called out for a pretty awkward reason…

Lauren Pope pursued her budding relationship with Jon Clark by going on a romantic outing to a vineyard with him on Wednesday night’s show, yet many fans accused her of recycling this idea after going on a VERY similar date with someone else in a previous series.

In the scenes Lauren, 34, tried wine tasting alongside Jon, 28, and it quickly gave viewers a sense of déjà vu.

‘I’m sure Lauren Pope has been to that vineyard before on a date. Talk about recycling ideas on different men #Towie,’ one Twitter user wrote.

Another added: ‘Lauren went on a vineyard date before on towie with someone else who was it #towie’

Awks. These fans clearly have a good memory as Lauren did indeed go on a date to a vineyard back in series 5 with Tom Pearce.

The pair’s romance soon fizzled out though and viewers aren’t sure whether Lauren’s liaison with Jon is going to have much better luck.

During their date the new couple sat down for a chat about how things are going between them, leading Lauren to admit that she was glad to see a different side to the Essex boy.

‘I feel like you’re showing me more of the side of you that I like for sure,’ she explained.

‘I’ve said to you before that you’re very much two people, there’s bits of both of you that I was trying to bring together.

‘Well, hoping would come together naturally… I feel like that’s happening.

‘I feel like I’ve pulled you out of your comfort zone a little bit,  but you’ve adapted very well.’

This didn’t sit well with some fans though who accused Lauren of not accepting Jon as he is.

‘Lauren is sooo trying to change John and it’s not ok #TOWIE,’ one Tweeted, whilst another said: ‘#towie if Lauren Pope wants to change John that much then he aint the man for her. You got to love people just the way they are!’

And one admitted: ‘I honestly can’t see John & Lauren working out tbh after that #TOWIE’

Oh dear. We’ll have to wait and see how this one pans out…

The Essex star has got very honest about the tragic news

TOWIE favourite Chris Clark has spoken out about the heartbreaking moment his girlfriend Amber Dowding discovered her mum was suffering from cancer.

The Essex star revealed his other half was left ‘devastated’ back in August when she found out her mother Maria, 50, was battling ‘aggressive’ stage three breast cancer and has now opened up about the tragic news.

Read: All the Latest TV news 

‘I remember Amber’s mum and dad calling us and telling us to come home,’ Chris told The Sun.

‘We’d been on holiday together, and she was meant to stay at mine, but they said straight away that they wanted us there tonight.’

Recalling the sad day, he continued: ‘To see Amber – to see a human being react like that, I’d never had experience of that, it was devastating for her.’

Maria underwent chemotherapy this year and was told in March she was in remission.

And despite Amber being broken by the devastating news, Chris added that the tough experience has strengthened the family’s bond.

‘It brought the family closer together and now her mum’s in remission and she’s healthy and she’s so strong,’ he said.

‘It’s been a really hard experience for her though’.

In a bid to help other cancer patients, Chris took part in Stand Up To Cancer’s Great Canoe Challenge on Thursday.

He added: ‘The family didn’t let it defeat them and I think they’re such an inspiration and she does so much to raise money and awareness for cancer now.’

Chris’ honesty comes after Amber revealed the pair were taking a HUGE step in their relationship as they prepare to buy their first house together.

‘Things are really good’, the blonde beauty recently told The Sun. 

‘We were apart for about six months but it was definitely good for us to have the break. We’re hoping to buy somewhere together soon, we’re just saving up.’

Despite now being more loved up than ever, the reality show couple only reunited a few months ago after Chris put an end to his romance with Little Mix star Jesy Nelson.

Speaking about getting back together after their break up back in October last year, Amber told the publication: ‘We learned a lot about ourselves in that time, but we’re older now and we trust each other more’.

Aw, it’s good to see the pair are so happy.

The American showdown that will make or break the actress's relationship with husband Mark.

It’s barely been a month since Mark Wright started his new job as host of EXTRA TV but he already loves life as an expat – if he’s not doing a spinning class with his co-star Mario Lopez, he’s schmoozing with idols such as Channing Tatum and Margot Robbie.

But while wife Michelle, 30, is still busy working on Our Girl, we can reveal that Mark’s persuaded her to take a trip across the pond very soon to sample the American life for herself.
An insider tells us that Mark’s so keen to settle there that he’s already picked out a £1.8m LA pad for Michelle to view.

‘Mark believes he needs just two weeks to show her how great life is over there with his new job,’ says our source. ‘He’s hoping to convince her to stay in LA and set up home together.’
The insider continued, ‘He’s already been eyeing up a £1.8m pad for them and he feels that house hunting will help convince her to put down roots in the States.’

It seems the tables have turned – Michelle’s career used to be the one that put miles between them but now Mark’s has made the distance even further.
It’s no secret that Michelle has kept fairly quiet on social media since Mark waved his family goodbye at the airport on 3 September and jetted off
to start his new life without her and it’s understood that she’s struggling to cope without him.

Our insider says, ‘Michelle is missing Mark so much that she’s more open than ever to the idea of moving to LA.’

And while fans were surprised to see Mark make a whistle stop visit to the UK last week – Now understands he had to sort out his VISA – it might not be long before Michelle, who’s just announced a new collaboration #VeryxMichelle with Very UK, to launch on 25 September, is spotted in the US Embassy queue…

Twitter is NOT a fan of Myles after Sunday evening's episode

TOWIE may have only been back a few weeks, but it looks like our favourite Essex stars are already causing a load of drama.

And it’s newbie Myles Barnett who’s found himself at the centre of it after an epic bust up with his girlfriend Courtney Green‘s best mate, Chloe Meadows.

In case you missed it, last week Courtney and Myles clashed over him spending time with his friends.

The usually loved-up couple faced a bit of relationship trouble as Courtney insisted she should be Myles’ priority – while the Essex lad voiced his issues with Courtney’s BFF Chloe ‘meddling’ in their relationship.

But tensions hit an all new high when Myles came to blows with blonde beauty Chloe during a night out in London. And it did NOT go well…

As Chloe confronted Myles about his feelings, things soon heated up and she blasted: ‘You’ve gone around everyone b**ching about it like a little girl and a you have made used this massive tension for no reason.’.

We caught up with Lauren recently to discuss her return to the hit ITVBe show, and it’s safe to say that not only viewers are loving having her back.

The 35-year-old said: ‘With me and Jon, we’re both very different in many ways, but we’re both so honest and if something is annoying us we have to vocalise it.’

‘We have little arguments here and there, but there must be chemistry between me and Jon because whatever arguments we have we always come back together.’

But have the couple put a label on their relationship just yet?

‘It’s still very early days and the one thing I don’t want is because of TOWIE is to rush it and become boyfriend and girlfriend straight away.’

Well, there we have it.

But it seems like Lauren doesn’t want to take things too slow, as she opened up about her hopes for marriage and kids!

‘I would like to be married with kids very soon,’ she confessed.

The reality star adds: ‘Realistically when you’re dating someone that’s 35, I think any man who dates someone that age just has to be realistic. I’m not saying I want that with Jon right now, I’m just saying within the next year or so that’s something I definitely want to be considering.’

And we’re not surprised Lauren is keen to settle down as it seems as though her hair extension business Hair Rehab London is going from strength to strength.

With fans like Little Mix, Cheryl and Nicole Scherzinger it looks like there is no sign of it slowing down any time soon.

Well, who knows maybe we could have the next TOWIE wedding on the cards!

Absolute scenes from the Essex crew...

It takes a strong type of lady to make it to global meme status.

It takes an even stronger type of lady to manage to call meme’s ‘memay’s’.

We give you, the one and only Gemma Collins.

A woman so magical, she makes unicorns look like they need a good ol’ coating of fake tan and a night down Sugarhut.

And it would appear that magical unicorns aren’t the only things that should be avoiding the GC – as her fellow TOWIE cast had better watch their backs too…

In fact, TOWIE gal Amber Dowding had recently taken to social media to warn fans of the GC wrath, having shared a video of Gemma getting rowdy with a certain Essex fella…

See: ‘I’m very fond of him’: TOWIE’s Gemma Collins speaks out on new romance after sparking speculation with loved-up pics

In the video Amber uploaded to Instagram Stories – which she captioned ‘Don’t f*ck with the GC’ – Gemma can be seen jokingly (we hope) sizing up to her co-star Tommy Mallett as the pair involve themselves in a good ol’ street brawl.

E.g:

Yup… absolute scenes from the Essex crew. Maybe he finally revealed the word ‘memes’ isn’t pronounced ‘meymays’?!

See: Gemma Collins: ‘I’m so bored of people talking about my weight!’

Whilst the pair (and onlooker James ‘Arg’ Argent – did you spot him!?) look like they were just having a bit of a laugh, it’s fair to say that Tommy Mallett is not the first member of the TOWIE gang to feel the wrath of Gemma however.

In fact, Gemma had found herself in a lil’ tiff with long term pal Bobby Norris during a recent episode of TOWIE after she had yawned in his face. Dramz!

Mandatory Credits- ITV

During the episode, Bobby was speaking to Gemma and their pals Mike, Georgia and Tommy about his important meeting with book publishers taking place the next morning.

And, whilst this is pretty exciting news for our Bob, GC had let her mind wander- leading to her yawning in front of Bobs. Yikes!

After confronted by Bobs as to if she was bored, Gemma had tried to smooth things over- replying ‘No, it’s cause of all the shopping Bob. Sorry I am listening. I’m not yawning on purpose’.

Lets hope the pair managed to smooth things out without the Tommy Mallett treatment, eh folks?!

‘As long they feel involved in that conversation, I think there’s a chance that you can get to that place of happiness.’

TOWIE favourite, Bobby Norris shocked fans last month when he decided to undergo plastic surgery in order to change his nose.

After melting the nation’s hearts when he opened up about his insecurities on Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating, the Essex reality star flew to Turkey at the end of September to have the procedure done.

But despite sharing a few snaps of his face covered in bandages, Bobby hasn’t yet unveiled the results of his nose-job on social media.

Well, now TOWIE co-star and BFF Chloe Sims may have just revealed all, as she posted a photo of the pair of them on her Snapchat account.

The reality stars can be seen smiling at the camera as they pose for the selfie – and fans are given a cheeky glimpse of Bobby’s new nose.

He later took to Instagram to show fans his heavily bandaged face following the surgical procedure, sharing a snap of himself chilling in the sun alongside the caption: ‘Poolside vibes’.

The photos come after the reality star went on the hunt for love on E4 telly show, Celebs Go Dating.

Speaking about how he’d rate his looks with dating experts Eden Blackman and Nadia Essex, Bobby said: ‘We’re down there with the fours, maybe five at a push if I’ve had a spray tan.

The star added: ‘I think I’m seen as a bit of a joke, it’s hard. I just think people have their ideas before I even get to that bar – he’s not attractive, he’d be alright to have a gin and tonic with and he’d entertain us all night.’

‘I don’t think anyone has ever walked into a bar and thought, “I’d love to take him for dinner” and I don’t know why, because I’m not a bad person.’

While her paler complexion could have been highlighted by the flash of the cameras, maybe Lauren was just excited to use her own brand of fake tan – which she showed off to her Instagram followers before the event.

Say it ain't so!

TOWIE stars Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks have had one of the most tumultuous reality TV relationships EVER.

After a fiery on-screen break up earlier this year (following a load of rows and THAT sexting scandal), the pair decided to give their romance one last shot in June.

But after just a few months, now it looks like it could all be over once again after reports emerged that the pair’s arguing had become too much.

‘Megan and Pete have given their relationship everything – but it still hasn’t been enough,’ a source told The Sun.

‘After an amazing start they have been arguing a lot again and neither of them can handle the stress and pressure of constant rows.

‘They are constantly falling out – there’s no guarantee that they won’t rekindle again.’ Aw, how sad it that?

And the famous pair haven’t done much to squash the rumours, as 25-year-old Megan recently stayed at home while Pete joined the rest of his TOWIE pals in Dublin.

Some of the Essex cast – including Gemma Collins and Tommy Mallett – flew out to Ireland earlier this week to resume filming for the ITVBe show after a two week break.

Essex lad Pete, kept his fans up to date during his time in the city and Tweeted on Thursday: ‘Well Dublin has been short and sweet…home time!’.

However, it looks like wannabe country singer Megan didn’t join her beau as she decided to stay back in Blighty for some meetings instead.

Sharing a photo from London with her 2million followers, Megan looked relaxed in jeans and a leather jacket which she paired with the caption: ‘Quick trip into Kensington… #meetingvibing.’

But despite choosing to avoid the trip away with Pete, some eagle-eyed fans noticed that the star IS still using the £2k designer handbag he bought her just two weeks ago for her birthday – which was the last time the pair were pictured together. Hmmm…

Although neither of the stars have addressed the split rumours, we’re sure this isn’t the last we’ll hear of Pegan.

TOWIE is known for it’s dramatic story lines – and this series is no different as we’ve seen more crying, arguing and ‘OMG’s’ than ever.

But while we’re all LOVING the Essex dramz, there’s one man who’s not very happy – and that’s Jon Clark who’s now slammed ITV bosses AND co-star Mario Falcone for meddling in his relationship with Lauren Pope. Eeek!

The 28-year-old has been dating Essex OG Lauren for a few months now after the pair hit it off while filming in Marbella.

But it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for the reality starts after it was revealed Jon had been texting his ex (and former Love Island star), Chloe Crowhurst – which didn’t go down too well with Lauren.

However, despite seemingly patching things up with 35-year-old, Lauren – now Jon has sensationally lashed out at her good pal Mario, for ‘getting involved’ in his love life.

Mark was supposed to play an important role in the big day

TOWIE star Elliott Wright is on cloud nine after tying the knot with Sadie Stuart, but sadly he didn’t have cousin Mark Wright on hand as a groomsman for the big day as he was forced to MISS the wedding.

Mark, 30, had to pull out of the ceremony as he realised that he was unable to make it due to his work commitments in Los Angeles as a presenter on US TV show Extra, meaning it was all pretty last minute.

‘He told us a few days before,’ says Elliott, 36. ‘He had to wait until the last minute to let us know as he wasn’t sure if he would be working, but it was just one of those things that couldn’t be helped.

‘He sent me a nice text the day before to say that he was gutted he couldn’t be there but that he hoped we had a lovely day and told us to have a drink for him, which we did.’

The reality star admits he doesn’t know the exact reason why Mark couldn’t get time off to attend the bash – which was held at St George’s Church in Bickley, London – but is understanding about the situation.

‘I don’t know exactly, to be honest, he didn’t say,’ Elliott tells OK! magazine. ‘All I knew was that he had filming commitments for his new show, Extra.

‘LA is pretty far away but it’s not even about that, he could have been in London but if he had to work then there’s nothing he could have done.’

Elliott says he wasn’t too disappointed by his cousin’s absence as he ‘knew the chances of him being able to make it were slim’.

Not only was Mark unable to attend but his wife Michelle Keegan was also too busy to make it given her filming commitments for the new series of BBC drama Our Girl.

Sadie, 25, says she has ‘no idea’ if Mark and Michelle have sent a present or card as she and Elliott haven’t yet got around to opening them after their big day.

The famous couple weren’t the only ones forced to miss the event as Elliott says he also invited former TOWIE mates Ferne McCann, Mario Falcone and Danielle Armstrong as well as Vicky Pattison but sadly none were able to attend.

It didn’t stop them from having a fabulous day though, with Elliott saying of his wedding: ‘It was the perfect day. We couldn’t have asked for more.’

Awww. Meanwhile Mark has spoken of his regret at having to miss his cousin’s nuptials.

‘I speak to Elliott every day,’ he tells The Sun. ‘It’s upsetting I couldn’t be there.

‘I really, really wanted to go to the wedding. I tried everything I could but the new job I have, holiday time in America is a lot different, it’s a lot stricter and you only get a certain amount of time.

‘It was such a shame because I wanted to be there for him and as well as that all my family and friends are there but I’m sure I’ll do something.’

Soon Mark and anyone else who missed out will get to see what happened at the wedding when ITVBe documentary Elliott and Sadie: The Wedding airs on Sunday 15 October and 22 October at 9pm.

Arg was NOT in Elliott's good books

TOWIE star Elliott Wright recently married love of his life, Sadie Stuart in a fairy tale wedding.

But despite the star being happier than ever with his new wife, it looks Elliott’s big day was almost put in jeopardy by one particular guest – a Mr. James Argent.

Yup, James (aka. Arg) was given the important role of groomsman during the extravagant ceremony, but Elliott was left furious when his best pal missed an important appointment in the run up to the wedding.

So much so, that he ended up BANNING him from their official wedding photos.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Elliott admitted: ‘I banned Arg from being in the official pictures because he p**sed me off before the wedding!’

Revealing the reason behind his decision, the 36-year-old said: ‘He didn’t bother to go to his suit fitting so, on the day, it didn’t fit him properly.

‘We had a bit of an argument over it because to me it’s an honour to be asked to be a groomsman and I was annoyed that he didn’t take it seriously.’

Luckily, it looks like all was forgiven pretty quickly (who can stay mad at Arg?), as dad-of-two Elliott added: ‘We had a hug later in the day and we’re okay now.

‘At the end of the day, Arg is Arg, he’s a bit annoying but he’s one of my oldest friends, so I couldn’t stay annoyed him for too long.

‘He was our master of ceremonies and he did a fantastic job.’

Speaking about the reality couple’s decision to call time on their relationship, Gemma, 36, revealed her shock saying, ‘I don’t know what to say about it. It’s a shame and I’m very upset about it because they were a lovely couple.’ 

Reports of Megan and Pete’s split surfaced last week – just four months since they rekindled their on-off romance after Megan accused Pete of sexting another woman.

Insiders close to the couple have revealed that despite giving their relationship another go following a holiday to Las Vegas, their arguing soon became too much.

Neither Celebrity Big Brother star Megan or Pete have broken their silence about their split, but Gemma confirming the news means reality fans might see the fall-out play out on our TV screens very soon.

Fortunately for Megan, though, she’s got plenty going on to keep her mind off of her recent heartbreak.

The 25-year-old reality star – who has also appeared on shows including Ex on the Beach and X Factor – is currently riding high after the successful launch of her solo singing career this summer.

Country singer Megan released her first original debut single, High Heeled Shoes, earlier this year – with fans showering her with compliments for her ‘lovely’ and ‘beautiful’ voice.

Meanwhile, fans have been supporting Megan on her split, rallying around her on social media.

One supporter said, ‘Don’t give up when times get tough we all believe in you and your relationship.’

Another added, ‘Love you two, hope you are ok.’

Is this really the end of our favourite TOWIE couple?! We hope not!

When Arg, 29, comes back to Essex after nearly a year away from the show following a stint in rehab, the boys teasingly ask him if things are ‘back on’ with GC.

‘Hell, no!’ he hits back.

Meanwhile Gemma, 36, admits to Chloe Sims that she’s concerned about Arg being back on the scene, leading Chloe to encourage her to clear the air with him…

Soon the fateful meeting happens when Arg visits his ex-girlfriend in her shop, but things take an emotional turn when Gemma ends up in TEARS.

So can these two work things out? Here’s hoping so!

Thankfully things look promising for Arg and GC’s friendship as Gemma has recently shared photos of the pair hanging out with other cast members.

Just last week Gemma revealed that her former boyfriend had treated several members of the gang to dinner after they jetted out to Dublin to film a special edition of TOWIE – and some fans are even hopeful that they could be more than just friends again in the future.

‘I put a tenner on them being an item by Xmas !’ one follower commented on Instagram, whilst another said: ‘the relationship is defo going to rekindle’

Still, these two have certainly had their fair share of ups and downs since they dated back in 2012 and we won’t hold our breath for a smooth reunion…

Watch the confrontation unfold in TOWIE on Wednesday 11 October at 10pm on ITVBe.

‘They’ve kept a low profile recently so it’s a great way to update everyone on their situation and whether or not they’ll get back together.

‘They’ll continue to film cameos but there’s no reason why they won’t at some stage join the show full time.’

The news of a TOWIE return comes as Nathan made a pretty bold statement about the pair’s relationship.

Following their split earlier this year, the LI winners vowed to stay friends for the sake of their little one.

But after fans begged the Love Island favourites to get back together, a romantic reunion looked to be on the cards – especially after pregnant Cara revealed they were dating again.

However, now Essex lad Nathan has set the record straight on their relationship status by sharing an adorable pic of the former couple cosying up at their baby shower.

The sweet photo shows stunning mum-to-be Cara glowing in a tight-fitting midi dress as she shows off her HUGE bump, while reality star Nathan opted for a casual polo shirt and trousers.

Next to the snap, 25-year-old Nathan told his Instagram followers: ‘Even though we may not be together, we are remaining best of friends just like old times for our baby boy, and honestly it’s the happiest we’ve been !!

‘Thank you for every 1 that turned up for making today so special for us !!!!’ How cute is that?!

And fans were quick to gush over the sweet photo, with Nathan’s 651k followers longing for the pair to give things another go.

‘But you look so good together x’, one fan wrote, while another said: ‘Cmon get it back on !!! We love you’.

While third commented: ‘Not together? Why they playing with my emotions like this’. 

We guess we’ll have to wait and see how their relationship plays out on TOWIE…
