Not again?!

Gemma Collins in tears in confrontation with James 'Arg' Argent on TOWIE, 11 October 2017

If there’s one thing we know about TOWIE, it’s that there’s bound to be a whole load of drama when the new series kicks off on Sunday.

And with drama comes heartache, as Essex lady Chloe Meadows has recently found out after reportedly splitting with boyfriend of a year Taylor Barnett.

Yup, another TOWIE romance has bitten the dust after 25-year-old Chloe allegedly called time on her yearlong romance with the builder last month.

And to save on any mega awkward run-ins, Taylor won’t be asked to film anymore scenes for the upcoming series. Yikes!

The former flames first met when they were introduced by Chloe’s BFF Courtney Green and her boyfriend Myles Barnettt (who’s best mates with Taylor, not his brother…)

And despite not having to film together anymore it looks like things haven’t exactly been easy for the pair, as not only do they run in the same friendship circles, but Taylor actually works for her dad. Err… awks!

‘It hasn’t been a straightforward split for them both,’ a source told The Sun Online.

‘Taylor works for Chloe’s dad and she’s finding that uncomfortable – not to mention the fact he’s close pals with Myles and they still haven’t seen eye to eye since their fall out last series.’

The insider added: ‘Chloe has tried her best to remain on good terms with Taylor but it’s never easy when you share the same friendship group’.

Although the pair are yet to comment on split rumours, they did share a few tense words last series after falling out over Taylor’s best mate, Myles. Eeeek!

But while one relationship ends, another looks to be hotting up as Essex lad Pete Wicks is rumoured to be getting very cosy with newbie Shelby Tribble.

After sharing a load of cosy photos on his Instagram stories last week, the 28-year-old told The Sun: ‘With Shelby all we do is laugh and have a good time together – and that’s a lovely way to be.’

Former TOWIE star Fran Parman has been showing off her incredible body transformation recently after dropping an impressive three stone.

But unfortunately, while showing off her new slim figure the reality star suffered an almighty wardrobe malfunction on Thursday night. Eeeek!

READ MORE CELEB NEWS

Joined by best mate and Love Island beauty Georgia Harrison at London’s fancy bar The Meagro, Fran made sure all eyes were on her as she opted for a VERY risque outfit.

The Essex babe – who dated James ‘Diags’ Bennewith during her time on TOWIE – opted for some navy trousers and a COMPLETELY undone blazer with a pair of white heels.

And choosing to go braless under the outfit, Fran was just asking for a major wardrobe malfunction…

See what we mean? Unfortunately, the inevitable happened and she actually exposed her nipple on the red carpet.

As she posed for photos with her hands on her hips, the left side of the jacket fell open. Ooops!

But Fran wasn’t the only one showing off her incred body, as fellow reality star Georgia also flashed her lacy knickers in a pair of ripped khaki trousers and tight black wrap top.

Is anyone else getting serious Lara Croft vibes?

It comes after Fran recently unveiled the incredible results of her three and a half stone weight loss, after completely overhauling her lifestyle.

Taking to Instagram with a side-by-side comparison of her body in January, Fran explained to her followers that her journey has been far from easy due to suffering from extreme anxiety.

She wrote: ‘Before anyone starts commenting anything, please read what I have to say here before you judge

‘I was in a really bad place a few months back, got awful anxiety even when I went to the gym. I was so anxious that people would look and laugh. But I got through it and thought, “No, this is my journey. I’m here for me so I’m not going to worry about anyone else”.

‘Before anyone says I’ve edited it or had lipo suction, I haven’t, and I’ve done this so younger girls can follow my tips and do it the right way.’

Before anyone starts commenting anything please read what I have to say here before you judge… so I was in a really bad place a few months back, got awful anxiety even when I went to the gym I was so anxious if people would look and laugh, but I got through it and thought, no this is my journey, I'm here for me so Im not going to worry about anyone else but myself and look at the out come, 3 and a half stone lighter now. Before anyone says I've edited it or that's not me or I've had lipo suction. I haven't, and I've done this journey for younger girls to follow my tips and do it the right way. I will be uploading tips very soon on how to loose weight. If anyone says I had lipo coz of the bruise on the side of my hip I got drunk Friday and walked in to a car. I cut my face off because I was so embarrassed of how I looked and so if you look at the next I literally just come back from a run and took a selfie so u can see I don't edit any pics. I worked really hard to get here guys Andu just want to show, if you want it, you lot can do it too ❤️

The reality star said she isn't comfortable with 'getting naked in public'...

TOWIE babe Megan McKenna is set to strip down to nothing for the upcoming The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night, next week.

But with a body like hers and a life lived largely in the public eye, you’d expect that baring all would be a piece of cake for someone like Megan, right?

Unfortunately, it seems not, as Megan has confessed that stripping down to almost nothing, in public, is one of her ‘biggest fears’. Uh-oh!

Chatting to The Sun on Sunday, the 25-year-old ‘fessed up. Megan said, ‘Getting naked in public is one of my biggest fears so I can’t believe I am going through with this.’

The reality star – who has recently announced she’s dating Love Island star ‘Muggy’ Mike Thalassitis – even revealed that the thought of getting naked has been haunting her every day.

She said, ‘I’ve been worrying about it every day. Ever since I signed up it has been the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning.’

As a way to prepare herself for the big reveal, reality babe Megs admitted that she even did a dress run of the actual performance for her closest friends and family.

Unfortunately, it looks as though the rehearsal didn’t quite go to plan though, with Megan revealing that the whole thing only made MORE nervous. Oh dear!

❤️🐢

A post shared by megan_mckenna_ (@megan_mckenna_) on

Muggy Mike’s beau shared, ‘The ‘intimate rehearsal’ in front of my friends and family was supposed to boost my confidence but actually did the opposite — I was absolutely s****ing myself.

‘They were so close I could see all their faces, it made me really nervous.

‘I am terrified about what it will be like doing it in front of millions.’

25-year-old Megan also confessed that she only really feels comfortable stripping down in front of her beau, Mike. Aww!

Megan will be stripping off in front of the nation on 29th March, when The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night airs on ITV at 9pm.

Luckily though, she won’t be on her own up there – as the former TOWIE girl will be joined by the likes of Coleen Nolan, Michelle Heaton and Victoria Derbyshire.

However, it’s all for a good cause, as the ladies hope to raise awareness of – and money for – breast cancer research. The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night, will air on 29th March, at 9pm on ITV.

Megan McKenna and her fellow female celebs will also be joined by a line-up of famous male faces, for the return of the all-male Real Full Monty too.

Jeff Brazier, James ‘Arg’ Argent, and even Ainsley Harriot, will also be getting their kit off in the name of charity. The men’s Real Full Monty will air on ITV on 26th March, just three days before the girls.

We’ll DEFO be tuning in!

GC's got big plans with her man

Gemma Collins and James 'Arg' Argent

After making their romance official on Sunday night’s episode of TOWIE, Gemma Collins and James ‘Arg’ Argent have opened up about their romance – and they’re both pretty serious about it.

Gemma, 37, admits she’s over the moon to be a proper item with Arg, 30, after months (or possibly years) of being on and off and feels like he’s now totally committed to her.

‘To hear that he was ready to commit was a dream come true after so many years of not knowing where we both stand,’ says the GC.

‘James is like a different man since we made things official. I can tell he’s completely committed to me now.’

Things have progressed so quickly since the couple started seeing each other again following a date night earlier this month that they’re practically inseparable, and Gemma’s been touched by Arg’s sweet behaviour towards her.

‘Every morning he puts on a love song for me and before we go to bed he cuddles me and tells me how beautiful I am,’ the reality star tells OK! magazine. ‘I feel so secure with him.

‘We haven’t spent a night apart since we made things official – James has basically moved into my flat.’

Meanwhile Arg credits Gemma with helping him to stay on the straight and narrow since he returned from a stint in rehab in Thailand to conquer his demons last year.

And as for the future, the GC’s got some pretty big plans with her man – including marriage and babies!

‘It’s something we really want in the future,’ she explains. ‘We’ve seen some beautiful places we’d like to get married in Spain and Essex, but we’re trying not to get ahead of ourselves.

‘I’ve made no secret of the fact I really want kids so I don’t think we’ll wait too long before trying for a family.’

Blimey. It comes after the pair were seen discussing opening a joint bank account in the opener of series 22 of TOWIE.

Gemma revealed that they’d bought a holiday home in Spain and told a financial adviser that she hoped that going overseas to the house would help to ‘relax’ her body ‘for a baby’.

Arg looked a bit shocked at this revelation but Gemma brushed it off by replying: ‘Oh shut up James, you know that.’

Wowzers, sounds like there are exciting things to come for these two!

Uh oh.

James Lock is in BIG trouble with TOWIE viewers after his return to our telly screens was slightly more fiery than expected.

James Lock

Our fave reality show was back on Sunday as the whole TOWIE gang headed to Barcelona for some fun in the sun.

READ MORE CELEB NEWS

But it didn’t take long for things to kick off as James (aka Lockie) found himself in the mother of all rows with girlfriend Yazmin Oukehellou and her friends. Eeeek!

It all started when the Essex lad confronted Chloe Lewis and Chloe Meadows about ‘meddling in his relationship’ off screen, but things turned sour as the girls tried to defend Yaz and a full on screaming argument broke out.

As Lockie continued to argue with the Chloes, he then turned on his teary girlfriend Yaz and blasted her ‘a spoilt brat’.

‘Listen, Yaz, do not f**king sit here and make me look like a f**king dick’, he shouted.

To which Yaz replied: ‘I’m not making you look bad.’

But he wasn’t done there, as 31-year-old James continued: ‘Don’t sit there playing the victim because you are a spoilt, little f**king brat.’

Before giving the final blow: ‘Don’t start f**king crying.’

And following the confrontation, it’s fair to say viewers weren’t impressed at all and took to Twitter to call him out on the nasty spat.

‘Lockie says he’s a respectful gentleman… next breath screaming at his girlfriend that she’s a spoilt brat! #TOWIE’, slammed one fan.

Another said: ‘Anyone else think that Lockie has turned into a completely different bloke?.. (don’t mean looks) #TOWIE #TOWIB’.

‘Ehhhhh wtf has happened to lockie since when has he become such an a***hole ?????? Sad he was my fav #towie,’ tweeted a third.

There was plenty more where than came from…

Even Celebs Go Dating expert Nadia Essex had her say.

TOWIE’s Tommy Mallet admits he WON’T LET Georgia Kousoulou have more surgery after nose job backlash

Georgia's nose op last year proved very controversial

Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou on 'This Morning' TV show, London 23 March 2018

TOWIE’s Georgia Kousoulou endured a nasty backlash following her nose job last year – and now boyfriend Tommy Mallet has ruled out the idea of her having more surgery.

Georgia, 26, is feeling more confident after her op yet isn’t considering going under the knife again and Tommy definitely doesn’t want her to either.

‘I’ve always hated my nose but I never told anyone because I didn’t want anyone to look out for it,’ Georgia explains.

And Tommy, 25, adds: ‘I wouldn’t let her anyway. Well, I wouldn’t want her to.’

Georgia might have received some cruel comments about her new nose since her surgery in November but she’s thrilled with how much better it’s made her feel about herself.

‘I feel so much more confident,’ she tells New! magazine. ‘Filming-wise, I used to worry about where I would sit and I would always want to be straight on and never side-on.’

The TV star is also accepting of the fact that she might continue to be trolled now that TOWIE is back on our screens.

‘I’m over it,’ Georgia admits. ‘When it happened I was shocked because I’ve never had that kind of backlash before.’

Tommy has also had his fair share of criticism too, revealing: ‘I was fat before I lost weight and then everyone was saying I’d got so skinny and that I looked ill.

‘So I put it back on and I get called fat again.’

Through it all the couple have got each other though and Tommy thinks there’s a reason why they’ve lasted longer than many other romances on the show.

‘I think a lot of people on the show – no names – would make up relationships just for screen time,’ the shoe designer explains. ‘They weren’t actually real relationships.

‘I met Georgia and we are like soulmates, so we live together and we do everything together. I feel that’s how we’ve lasted more than anyone.’

Awww.

The Real Full Monty was BACK on Wednesday evening, which meant we got watch a load of brave celebs strip right down to their birthday suits all in the name of charity.

But while the likes of Jeff Brazier, Ashley Banjo and Alexander Armstrong all took to the stage live with their best dance moves, it was TOWIE original James Argent who really got fans talking.

Leading up to the epic live performance, it was touch and go whether 30-year-old Arg would totally strip off after opening up about his body confidence issues.

During the ITV show, he said: ‘I’m more worried about my body rather than my private parts.

‘It’s definitely exposed some insecurities of mine. The thought of me taking my kit off in the shape I’m in now petrifies me. I don’t think I can do it. I need to make some changes.’

James Argent

Luckily, the Essex lad overcame his fears and took to Twitter just before the show aired to dedicate his performance to his Grandad who died of prostate cancer 15 years ago.

And the telly star definitely did his family and friends proud as he managed to join in with the other male celebs and let it all hang out on stage in Sheffield.

Unfortunately, things didn’t exactly go to plan for the Essex lad and he suffered a major wardrobe malfunction live on stage.

As the audience geared up for the ‘big reveal’, all the celebs ripped off their tiny red thongs in unison, but poor Arg’s became a little stuck.

While the reality star struggled with his underwear, the thong was still left dangling as the lads took away their hats for the final moment.

Although no one seemed too bothered by Arg’s slip up and his girlfriend Gemma Collins took to Instagram with a sweet message praising her beau.

‘So PROUD of you tonight #realfullmontylive’, she wrote.

‘Your always gorgeous to me no matter what and don’t like to see you so insecure about your body you must never be insecure and always own who you are all different it’s what’s in your heart that always counts.’

While the likes of Stacey Solomon and Ferne McCann also showed their support…

The image was also shared by Georgia, 26, who simply wrote: ‘Always ❤’

Despite the cute messages, fans were seriously distracted by Chloe’s bottom in the picture and couldn’t hide their shock at how curvy it suddenly looks.

‘What is going on with Chloe’s bum,’ one follower asked, whilst another added: ‘Please forgive me if I sound rude, I really don’t mean to but what has happened to Chloe – her bottom looks really weird’

And one said: ‘what has Chloe done to her look’

It comes after Chloe underwent a Brazilian bum lift in Marbella last month, having previously admitted to feeling insecure about her ‘flat granny bum’.

The mum-of-one is said to be ‘delighted’ with the results of the latest procedure and certainly hasn’t shied away from showing her shapely tush off since. She first had a £4,500 bum lift in 2012.

And despite some fans being left in shock at her new look, others were full of praise for it.

One admirer posted: ‘it looks amazing! I’m so happy for her as I know how much she wanted it done.’

Another wrote: ‘Your bum looks so good Chloe!’

Earlier this week the TV star proudly shared a picture of her new derriere and said: ‘Results just the way I wanted!’

Chloe’s not the only one to recently go under the knife, as Georgia underwent a nose job last year which proved controversial due to the mixed reaction from fans.

She recently made it clear that she’s not letting the backlash get to her, though admitted that she has no plans for any further surgery.

There's been some social media drama...

Gemma Collins and James 'Arg' Argent in Instagram photo, April 2018

Gemma Collins and James ‘Arg’ Argent might have only gone official last month but they’ve ALREADY sparked speculation that they’ve split.

The TOWIE pair hinted at trouble in their romance when both unfollowed each other on social media on Monday, which came after Arg opened up about their very heated rows – including one over smoked salmon.

‘She puts about six scrambled eggs on my plate and then a big, big, chunk of smoked salmon and I said, “Gem this is lovely, but f*** me, how much smoked salmon do you want to put on my plate?”’ Arg, 30, revealed during Sunday night’s episode of the reality show.

‘She comes over to my plate, picks up the smoked salmon, opens the window and chucks it out – she’s an absolute nutcase.

‘I love her to bits, but we’ll have a row and she’ll go and get the locks changed.’

Yikes. However, it looks like the latest drama between the duo must have calmed down as Gemma, 37, has since started following Arg again – and he’s returned the favour.

The GC also seemed to shoot down any break-up rumours when she posted an Instagram Stories video of Arg lovingly singing to her: ‘You’re my number one.’

Meanwhile Arg posted a selfie with his girl and wrote: ‘Date night’

The couple’s relationship so far has certainly been filled with ups and downs, as a teaser clip of next week’s TOWIE episode showed Gemma appearing to hint that they’re already trying for a BABY together.

In the footage the TV star was seen telling Arg over dinner: ‘There’s something really missing in my life… you know what.’

The clip then cut to Chloe Sims saying to her pal Gemma: ‘You’re trying for a baby, that’s what you’re trying to say.’

Lucy Mecklenburgh then and now

Lucy Mecklenburgh might have found fame thanks to her stint on TOWIE but she’s definitely not keen on looking back at that time.

The fitness guru was a regular member of the cast from 2010 until 2013 and went through a lot in her personal life on screen, including her engagement and then split from former fiancé Mario Falcone.

However, it’s actually the way she looked that makes Lucy cringe SO much she’s unable to watch herself back.

‘I used to wear so much fake tan and cake on the make-up and my hair was awful,’ the 26-year-old admits. ‘I can’t even bring myself to watch the old TOWIE episodes.’

Lucy was certainly experimental with her style back in her TOWIE days and even tried out a long blonde hairdo at one point.

However, this started to change when she bowed out from the programme and began focusing on her exercise plan business.

Nowadays Lucy – who is dating former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas – says she’s much more laid-back when it comes to her hair and make-up.

‘I don’t wear half the make up or fake tan I did in those days,’ the TV star tells the Daily Mail. ‘But it’s all part of growing up isn’t it.

‘My mum always said “less is more” and now I get what she meant by that.’

Lucy’s also seen a change in her skin over the years thanks to her lifestyle as well as her skincare regime.

‘Growing up, my skin was bad and I have outbreaks now, but you just have to deal with it as it comes and take care of yourself,’ she explains.

‘I have definitely noticed a difference now that I eat well and am not always out drinking.

‘I find taking my make up off each night really works as well. When I was younger I never had a skincare routine, I just used to use a face wipe.

‘Always take your make up off. I swear by it.’

‘He faced the wrath of Amber after telling Clelia that she slept with Dan moments after their split and to make matters worse his ex-Lauren chipped in on their row.

‘And this week he’s come to blows with Myles after he told people that he cheated on Courtney.’ Eeeek!

The insider revealed that Chris will be there as a shoulder to lean on following all the dramz, adding: ‘He really needed some extra support from someone close to him and no one understands him better than his brother.’

Blood is thicker than water!! 💙💯

This comes after it was revealed that Chris had split with long term girlfriend Amber just a few weeks after the couple were deemed ‘too boring’ for TOWIE.

After confirming his exit from the show back in January, Chris told OK! magazine: ‘It’s very dramatic and it plays on people’s relationships, and I’m quite stable in my relationship with Amber.

‘We’ve just moved out and everything is going well. I just feel like I couldn’t bring anything else to the table, as in dramatically.’

But now that Chris is a single man again – after ‘drifting’ from his long-term GF – it looks like there may be a chance he’ll join his Essex pals more regularly.

The Sun’s source added: ‘At the moment Chris is only returning for one scene and has no plans to come back on a permanent basis – but now he’s single there could be more of a chance.’

Uh-oh! We predict even more drama…

You NEED to see Amber T's transformation

The stars of Essex based reality show TOWIE have changed quite a lot over the past few years.

Since the show first aired back in 2010, we’ve seen the guys and girls of the series transform themselves and it’s the ladies in particular who often have the most dramatic makeovers of all.

Some of the original favourites like Lauren Goodger and Gemma Collins have evolved their appearance since finding fame and newer additions to the cast – including Amber Turner and Georgia Kousoulou – have also been through a transformation following their arrival in the hit ITVBe programme.

As our photos below prove, the girls have resorted to various measures to alter how they look. For some it’s simply a case of a new hairdo and bolder make-up – check out the GC’s brunette locks in her before snap!

Meanwhile some members of the TOWIE line-up have confessed to having cosmetic surgery to switch up their image. Several of the cast including Amber T and Lauren G have admitted to having boob jobs, whilst the likes of Yazmin Oukhellou and Lauren Pope have openly spoken about going under the knife to change their noses.

Many of the ladies have changed before our eyes on our screens but Megan’s transformation is quite unique given that it happened across several TV shows! As her before picture shows, the reality star first found fame as a youngster on Britain’s Got Talent before going on to star in Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother before joining the cast of TOWIE.

It’s not all about more is more in these transformations though – Lauren P chose to have surgery to tone her look down by having her breast implants replaced for a smaller size.

Now it’s time to see just how much the TOWIE girls have changed – here’s the most shocking transformations of the current and past line-up…

Spoilers ahead, TOWIE fans!

The dramz-o-meter gets turned up to 11 on Sunday night’s TOWIE as it all kicks off between show stalwarts Bobby Norris and James ‘Arg’ Argent.

In the upcoming episode, viewers will watch Bob square up to Arg over a misunderstanding concerning Gemma Collins – with Bob having to be physically held back as his anger grows.

It all starts when Arg gets the wrong end of the stick about a comment Bobby makes regarding Gemma’s recent photoshop scandal.

The star found herself in hot water over accusations she photoshopped her head onto a model’s body for her plus-size range.

Bobby is told: ‘Arg said earlier when someone went, “where’s Gemma”, you went apparently, “on photoshop.”‘

And when Bobby finds out that Arg has relayed his apparently jokey comments back to his girlfriend, the Essex boy sees red.

“Arg, this is where you need to know, you’re going to look like a sh*t stirrer,” an angry Bob tells Arg.

He adds: “This is where you need to not be a b*tch, Arg, because you’re a geezer. You’re a 30-year-old man.”

And when a riled Arg fires back, Bobby gets to his feet in rage shouting: ‘Are you joking me!?’

Before long, Bobby is being held back by Dean, which prompts raised eyebrows from the rest of the group. 

But Bobby is still having his say, asking: ‘What the f*ck’s wrong with him!?’

Poor Gemma then tries to diffuse the situation, shouting: ‘Bob, I haven’t got a problem!’

But it seems nothing can calm Bobby’s rage. Oh dear.

Elsewhere in the episode, with Pete’s temporary departure looming, Shelby gets emotional as she expresses her uncertainty about what the future holds.

Meanwhile, having done his best to clear the air with Chloe S further to their confrontation, Jon finds himself in another hot headed exchange – this time with Myles, who is angry about the part Jon played in telling Courtney about his cheating.

Never a dull moment in Essex, is there!?

The Only Way Is Essex airs Sunday at 9pm on ITVBe

Baby Falcone is on the way...

Former TOWIE star Mario Falcone recently announced he was expecting his first child with his fiancé Becky Miesner, and his famous pals couldn’t be more excited.

After hearing the news, TOWIE’s Ferne McCann  took to Twitter to wish her old pal and mumma-to-be Becky well.

Replying to Mario’s announcement, the 27-year-old – who is mum to six-month-old Sunday – said: ‘Yay so so happy for you both.’

TOWIE newbies Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey also congratulated the dad-to-be, as they welcomed him to parenthood, after becoming parents to their son Freddie-George in December.

Meanwhile, reality TV star Casey Batchelor – who is expecting her first baby any day now with her boyfriend Dane Goodson – reached out to the 30-year-old.

‘Congratulations to both of you,’ she wrote, to which he responded: ‘Good luck with your new arrival when it comes.’

And an over-excited Vicky Pattison took to Instagram, sharing a picture of herself, her fiancé John Noble, Mario and Becky, as she congratulated the couple on their news.

‘This is the best news I’ve had in ages!! Huge, HUGE congratulations to one of my favourite couples in the world- @beckymiesner1 and @mario_falcone17!! Can’t believe you’re going to have a baby! 💕💙’ she wrote alongside the photo.

‘I don’t think I could be any happier if I was the one expecting!! 😂😍!! You are going to be the most fabulous parents ever and that baby is without a doubt the most genetically blessed child to ever exist!!! WOW!! Put the pressure on me and Noble now haven’t you?!! 😂😍! Can’t wait to see you soon! 💙

Within seconds, Mario rushed to comment on the photo, asking the former Geordie Shore star – who he briefly dated in 2016 – to get a move on an give his and Becky’s baby a ‘play mate’.

‘Thank you!! Our baby will be needing a play mate so you 2 better get buussssyy!! ❤❤‘ he joked, leading Vicky to reply: ‘lol… don’t encourage @johnnoblejn man!!! 😍😂!! We are having fun practising atm!’

Mario and Becky shared the news in an interview with OK Magazine.

As  they opened up about postponing their summer wedding, the loved-up pair – who have been together for a year and a half – announced they were expecting their first baby together in November.

Their news follows several failed attempts, after which they decided to  ‘have fun’ and wait for a ‘honeymoon baby’ instead.

A few months later, and during a holiday to Barbados in March, Becky discovered she was pregnant.

A post shared by Mario Falcone (@mario_falcone17) on

‘We were trying for a baby for a while last year, but it wasn’t happening, so we decided to stop of a bit. Then a few months later, I fell pregnant!’ she said.

‘It wad getting quite stressful, so we decided we needed to relax a bit,’ Mario added.

And Mario couldn’t be happier to start a family with his salon owner fiancé, 29, gushing: ‘It’s been my dream to be a dad for a long time now, so I’m over the moon.’

The 30-year-old has had lots of practice too, babysitting his sisters Georgina and Giovanna’s kids.

And he will also get to share this special  journey with Giovanna – who will welcome a third baby later this year with her husband, McFly’s Tom Fletcher.

He continued: ‘I love being with my niece and nephews, so to have my own is a dream come true.

‘My life since meeting Becky has gone from strength to strength and this is the cherry on top of the cake for me. We’re so excited to be parents.’

We wish you all the best, guys!

Things got VERY heated at Yaz's party

There was another dose of TOWIE drama on Sunday evening when Amber Turner went head-to-head with Essex newbie Clelia Theodorou (again).

And things got very awkward very quickly…

If you haven’t managed to catch the last few eps, these two ladies aren’t on the best terms after both being linked to resident ladies man Dan Edgar.

And now that Amber seems to be getting back with the hunky Essex lad, Clelia made a little bit of a dig – which went down like a lead balloon and ended in a furious row in the loos. Classic TOWIE.

‘I have heard that you’ve gone, “We don’t need to be taking relationship advice from Amber Turner”,’ a furious Amber said to Clelia at pal Yazmin Oukhellou‘s party.

‘Woman to woman, that’s disrespectful and disgusting. As much as our situation with Dan ain’t great, I think that’s a bit low.’

Devon-born Clelia soon hit back and told Megan McKenna‘s best mate that she needs some more self-respect, before Amber branded her ’embarrassing’ and told her to stop ‘sticking her nose in’. Yikes…

But as the fiery ladies continued to throw insults at each other, ITVBe viewers were a little distracted by Amber who couldn’t stop pouting at herself in the mirror.

Well, you gotta stay glam in Essex – even in the middle of the argument…

‘Omg Amber constantly checking herself out in that mirror is embarrassing! Talk about love yourself!  @ITVBe #TOWIE’, blasted one person on Twitter.

Another said: ‘Did Amber just look in the mirror whilst arguing? The women loves herself.’

While a third agreed: ‘When Amber turner checks herself out in the mirror mid argument. I’m genuinely embarrassed for her

And they weren’t the only ones to notice…

Although some fans jumped to the blonde bombshell’s defence, as one viewer said: ‘E

Kate Wright's ex speaks exclusively to Now!

Dan Edgar and Amber Turner have been on and off more times than a light switch over the last two years, but it seems they’re finally on their way to becoming a full-blown TOWIE couple.

The beautiful-looking pair were seen looking extremely cosy as they partied for Dan’s birthday at the weekend.

And now Dan has spoken out, explaining what’s really going on.

Speaking exclusively to Now! he told us: ‘We’re not back together properly yet, but we’re talking again.

‘This time it’s got to be a lot more serious, it’s been going on for a while now, so it’s got to be an all or nothing situation.’

Explaining why they’ve never got together officially before now, he continued: ‘We seem to go a while not talking and then something happens, like we’ll see each other out and end up talking again and we’ll go back to square one again, so this time it’s seeming a lot more serious.

‘I’ve always maintained the fact I didn’t want a relationship and where I was in one for long time, I wanted to stay single after but it’s been quite a while now, so maybe it’s time to start doing things differently.’

Amber and Dan were in an on/off romance during last series, but she was allegedly ‘left in tears’ during filming in Barcelona when her co-stars revealed Dan had been dating newbie Clelia Theodouru.

‘Amber’s done with Dan’s behaviour and wants to get the last word in’, a source previously told The Sun.

‘She’s planning to speak to him face to face when she gets back to Essex.’

While another insider told the publication: ‘Amber feels completely humiliated by Dan and her betrayed by her friends on the show. Everyone knew that Dan and Clelia had been sleeping together for a while and she was the last to know.

‘When they told Amber she was so upset and had a huge meltdown in front of everyone.’

Well, at least it seems Amber has obviously forgiven him.

TOWIE’s Myles Barnett ‘reprimanded’ by bosses after first EVER physical fight on the show

TOWIE bosses are not happy with Myles.

It’s fair to say that the TOWIE bunch are not the shy and retiring type. Like, at all.

In fact, the current season of the show has been causing all types of havoc among viewers – mainly because the cast all appear to be locked in fisticuffs with each other roughly 70% of the time.

Yup. We’re getting a migraine just thinking about being involved in all that drama.

And it would appear that some of the cast are having to pay the price for their troublesome ways – as TV bosses have allegedly been forced to dish out a good ol’ precautionary warning to one of the boys.

As you may have noticed, TOWIE regular Myles Barnett hasn’t really had the easiest time on the show lately. The ‘fella has broken up from his lady, Courtney Green, and is now being accused of staying less than faithful to her during their time together.

Yup, not *exactly* all sunshine and roses for the Essex lad.

However, it would appear that things have only gone from bad to worse – as Myles has been given a stern warning from bosses after he was involved in the first ever physical fight on TOWIE!

According to a source, Myles was filming scenes for an upcoming episode when he came face to face with newbie Jordan Wright – who Myles has accused of causing his split from Courtney.

According to a source on the show, ‘Myles and Jordan were shouting at each other then suddenly Jordan threw a drink, and Myles just lost it. He punched Jordan square in the face. It was madness.’

Following the alleged altercation, TV bosses have been forced to step in with a serious warning for Myles regarding his behaviour on the show, which can’t carry on.

Brighton turners 👌👌

A post shared by Jordan Wright (@jordanwrights) on

This isn’t the first time Myles has found himself in hot water for his behaviour.

In fact, the ‘fella has certainly been ruffling a few feathers among TOWIE viewers – along with some of his other male cast members – and many fans have taken to social media to call the boys out on their aggression this series.

One user writes, ‘OMG the way the boys speak to their girlfriends on towie is a disgrace…last week lockie and now this week myles’.

Another shares, ‘The way some of the boys are behaving on TOWIE tonight is disgusting. A lot of young girls watch and its very worrying how behaviour like this is normalised’.
