Nicole Bass from The Only Way Is Essex reveals why she finds it hard to trust men - and where to take her on a date

The Only Way Is Essex’s latest addition Nicole Bass caused a stir when she arrived on the scene in Marbella, causing Mike Hassini AND her ex Lewis Bloor to fight over her affections.

But despite all the attention, it looks like Nicole is holding back for now: ‘I’m having so much fun being single – I just want to be on my own at the moment,’ she told Now.

Has she been affected after being cheated on by Lewis? ‘I learnt from my relationship with Lewis not to trust a man too easily – I have trust issues now which might make it harder being with someone else.’ Poor Nicole.

But there’s still hope for tall, dark and handsome Mike Hassini, who Nicole describes as her type – ‘If I actually like someone and I feel like I’m going somewhere with them I would change,’ she says. And what about ex Lewis – is he in with a chance? ‘I wouldn’t say never,’ she admits, ‘You never know what the future is going to bring.’ Who will she pick?!

So what DOES it take to woo the in-demand Essex beauty? Nicole, who describes herself as ‘easygoing’, says that she doesn’t feel the need for extravagant dates, but ‘loves Nando’s’ and considers pie n’ mash her ‘favourite food in the world.’ Mike and Lewis, take note! Deep down, she admits that she is a born romantic: ‘all I need is to be with someone who loves me and makes me happy.’ Aww!

It looks like a reunion is on the cards for TOWIE's former couple Kate Wright and Dan Edgar

Would you get back with an ex? The Only Way Is Essex’s newcomer Kate Wright thinks she would, confessing to Now that she only has eyes for one man: her ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar.

The pair broke up just before Dan joined TOWIE last February, and Kate was left extra heartbroken after Dan Edgar kissed Jessica Wright – no relation, FYI – less than a week after the split.

But now Kate has joined the show too – and she made it clear that she’s hoping for a reunion with her ex, who she dated for four years. ‘I would love to get back with him,’ she gushes, ‘He’s the only one for me. I’ve had a crazy summer but I didn’t meet anyone like Dan.’

With Dan recently admitting on the official TOWIE site that he still has feelings for Kate, is anyone else questioning why they’re not back together yet?! Turns out there’s one big catch: “[Dan] needs to show me I can trust him again,’ says Kate, who admits she can be ‘very stubborn’. Looks like Dan may have his work cut out for him! And, unfortunately, grand gestures a la Liam Blackwell won’t work for Kate – ‘it’s a matter of giving it time to build the trust again.’

Well – we have our fingers crossed for you, guys! With that lingering chemistry, we can’t help but think a reunion is just around the corner…

The TOWIE new boy looks a bit different!

It’s all about TOWIE at the minute and in the NOW office, we just can’t get enough of the four newbies; Nicole Bass, Liam Blackwell and Kate Wright.

Oh and erm, Michael Hassini, who has definitely gained his spot on the Essex eye-candy leaderboard.

Aww! TOWIE newcomer Liam Blackwell gushes about his first date with Fearne McCann- ‘She’s my perfect woman’

Great style, tanned skin and slicked back hair. Dreamy!

Thing is, Michael’s natural hair isn’t quite what we’re used to. Taking to Instagram on Friday morning, the reality star shared a selfie of himself at the hairdressers.

Alongside the photo he wrote: ‘Getting the hair trimemd by @marcusp123.’

Anyone else notice how long Michael’s natural hair actually is? What a change to his usual style!

We assume that Michael, 20, is getting his hair prepped for a weekend of Essex partying.

Although we think his locks are gorgeous, Mr Fassini has received plenty of stick lately for his receding hairline. In fact, during a heated argument with TOWIE’s Lewis Bloor, his hairline was actually referred to as looking like a pair of ‘McDonald’s arches’. OUCH!

Fans of the star commented on the photo. One user wrote:

‘Are they sorting out ur hairline?! #jokes.’

Michael isn’t the only Essex lad to flaunt great hair. Joey Essex, a former TOWIE cast member, also rocked a phenomenal barnet and Mr Bloor himself seems to be a fan of ‘long hair don’t care’ too, recently sharing a selfie of himself with a mini ponytail.

The TOWIE newbies have been taking the show by storm recently. Whilst Michael is at war with Lewis, Liam has been winning over our TOWIE fave, Ferne McCann. In fact, Liam actually outshone any first date we have EVER been on by taking Ferne on a helicopter ride before wining and dining her at a super fancy restaurant.

Fellas, take note!

Could this be the end for on-off couple Lauren Goodger and Jake McLean?

We were devastated to hear that Lauren Goodger and Jake McLean have finally decided to call it a break. The pair’s split, announced in New! magazine, follows a rocky patch in their relationship which not even a recent romantic getaway to Paris could not resolve.

‘Me and Jake aren’t talking at the moment,’ Lauren told the publication, and haven’t done for about a week now. He’s not currently staying with me and I am focusing on my training, my career and myself. Sometimes you just need five minutes out, and I’m so busy right now that I haven’t really had a chance to stop and give our situation any proper thought.’

The pair first split in Decemeber 2013 after they had been together for over a year. They split after the launch of Lauren’s tanning business Lauren’s Way made it difficult for them to spend time together, the former-TOWIE star explained to New!, but reunited last May to give their relationship another go. Lauren was so committed to making it work that she even got a tattoo of Jake’s tattoo on her wrist, but it seems it was enough to keep the couple together.

‘We haven’t had any major rows and nothing has actually happened,’ she explained, ‘but we are both stressed out with our own lives and I seem to bear the brunt of it. It’s been horrible but what I do know is that I can’t afford to have anything or anyone distract me from my focus.’ The pair have also unfollowed each other on Instagram, with Jake deleting every photograph of Lauren from his account. You’re breaking our hearts!

It’s no secret that busy lives can take a big toll of relationships, but we really hope the pair can resolve their differences and make up. Is there any hope? Writing in her New! column, Lauren assured her fans: ‘I will get my head round it all in time and work out what I want.’ Our fingers are firmly crossed.

The TOWIE lad is on the singles scene...

It looks as though TOWIE‘s James ‘Lockie’ Lock is on the hunt for a new woman if his recent Instagram post is anything to go by.

The Essex lad was famously in a relationship with his TV co-star Danielle Armstrong, 27, but the pair split earlier this year.

TOWIE star James Lock faces suspension from the show as fans express their anger over Wednesday night’s show

Whilst we’re still praying that James and Danielle will rekindle their romance (Please!!), James has revealed that he’s using an online app, which allows users to meet new people.

Taking to Instagram, James,shared a sultry selfie alongside the caption:

‘Just downloaded Temptr the new must have app! #singles #app #temptr.’

Temptr, which is described as ‘a proper place to meet people’, has acquired a few celebrity admirers including Life In Marbs star Felicity-Faye Kidd and Ex On The Beach‘s Rogan O’Connor.

Good to know it’s not just us normal folk that opt for online dating!

Followers of James commented on the photo. One user said:

‘you seriously do not need an app to get a girl!! You are gorgeous ,’ whilst another wrote: ‘You really don’t need an app to get a girl @jameslock_ X.’

Although Lockie might be on the prowl, TOWIE star Chloe Sims recently revealed that she doesn’t think it’s all totally over for James and Danielle.

‘She’s (Danielle) adamant they’re finished, but with filming coming up I’m not sure! We’ll see how it plays out,’ revealed Chloe.

Writing in her column for Star magazine, Ms Sims added: ‘I’m not convinced things are completely over with Lockie.’

Danielle also recently admitted that she reckons her and Lockie would still be together if it ‘weren’t for the show.’

‘When we dated [before ‘TOWIE’], he was an electrician and I worked in fashion and he would come and meet me in his white van and I would bring him sandwiches. That was what we had. Then we went on ‘TOWIE’,’ said the Essex lady.

TOWIE's Dan Edgar is on a mission to win back ex girlfriend Kate Wright

TOWIE’s Dan Edgar has proved that he is serious about winning back his ex Kate Wright – after he wooed her during filming by recreating the famous Top Gun love scene. Talk about grand gestures!

Along with mates James Bennewith and James Lock, Dan turned up unexpected at Kosho, Romford – where Kate was partying with friends from the cast including Danielle Armstrong and Ferne McCann –  in order to serenade his ex. Dressed in white pilot uniforms, the suave trio serenaded the ladies, while Dan pointed straight at Kate, letting her know that she is the one for him. Kate seemed to love the perfomance, beaming at her ex after he had finished. The pair then shared an intimate chat in the middle of the dancefloor.

Will the wannabe movie hero win the girl? He’s definitely in for a good chance, after Kate revealed exclusively to Now last week: ‘I would love to get back with him. He’s the only one for me.’ The TOWIE beauty explained that she was looking for Dan to win back her trust before she took him back – maybe this public display of his affection will be just the thing to seal the deal.

Dan and Kate dated for four years until last February, when they broke up shortly before Dan joined the TOWIE cast. Now that Kate is back on the scene, Dan has worn his heart on his sleeve, telling her: ‘‘I loved you from day one. I didn’t stop loving you when we weren’t together. I’m willing to wait however long it will take.’ Aww, guys!

It looks like James 'Arg' Argent is STILL being kept in the dark after lying about where he kipped on Sunday night's episode of TOWIE

During Sunday night’s episode of TOWIE, Lydia Bright cut off all contact with James ‘Arg’ Argent after he lied about his whereabouts on a recent night out. Sad face.

READ MORE TOWIE NEWS

Instead of staying at his mum’s house as planned with Lydia, Arg ended up crashing at Diag and Fran‘s house.

And that did NOT go down well with Lyd.

Sadly it still looks like these two aren’t seeing eye to eye.

In Wednesday night’s episode, Lydia continues to keep her distance from Arg but ends up getting teary eyed as she offloads her emotions onto Tommy and Georgia.

Meanwhile… the rest of their TOWIE friends continue to speculate on where things stand between the CONSTANTLY on and off couple. We’ll also get to see a guilt-ridden Arg seeking comfort from his mum after Lydia rejected his letter.

Determined to put herself first, Lydia heads out with the girls for a night out and when Arg spots a picture of Lydia and Georgia they’ve posted on Twitter, it’s a painful reminder of what he’s missing….

Earlier this week Arg revealed: ‘She’s unfollowed me on Twitter and blocked me on WhatsApp and I’ve tried to call and text her and she’s cut me off from that as well.’

And despite Arg‘s attempts to win her back, apparently Lydia is still fuming with Mark Wright‘s best friend!

Lydia told her mum, Debbie Douglas, and Georgia after reading Arg‘s letter: ‘I’m just so frustrated because I’ve never known anybody to have as much chances as James has had throughout his life.’

‘Everyone thinks this is just about Arg lying and it was just a silly mistake but there’s so much more to it than that. I need to have some time away from him to work out if I can do this for the rest of my life.’

AWW! We wish the two of them would just kiss and make-up.

The drama continues in The Only Way Is Essex, exclusively on ITVBe this Wednesdays at 10pm.

TOWIE's Michael Hassini speaks about rival Lewis Bloor

We’re absolutely loving TOWIE right now, especially the drama between Lewis Bloor and newbie Michael Hassini.

It’s pretty obvious that the Essex fellas don’t get on after Michael previously hooked-up with one of Lewis’ ex-girlfriends, and then lied about it. Oh, and just to add further fuel to the fire, Michael was (or, is…) also hot on the tail of Nicole Bass, another of Lewis’ exes.

TOWIE newbie Michael Hassini reveals his au-naturel hair and it’s not what you thought!

READ MORE CELEBRITY NEWS HERE!

Eeesh! So what does Michael think to this? When Now caught up with the 21-year-old he revealed: ‘Me and Lewis are never going to get on, we never have got on. I’d never consider him my mate and I don’t think he would consider me to be his mate either.’

So, if things ever came to blows, who would win in a fight? Michael or Lewis?

‘Me,’ said Michael, quickly adding: ‘But I wouldn’t fight, I’m not that sort of person but obviously I’m confident in that aspect.’

Michael also admitted: ‘He’s (Lewis) got his own opinion on everything and so have I but we just agreed to disagree and that’s it really.’

Last week, the two TOWIE stars came face-to-face on a night out and whilst we wouldn’t want things to escalate, their discussion DID get a little heated.

In fact, Lewis, 25, actually referred to Michael’s receding hairline, saying: ‘Standing here you look like McDonald’s arches. I don’t know whether to have a row or order a Big Mac.’

Ouch!

It seems as though Lewis’ dreams of winning back ex girlfriend Nicole might be turning into a reality -in Wednesday night’s show, the Essex lad surprises Ms Bass with a date. In fact, Lewis keeps it such a surprise that he even makes Nicole wear an eye mask as he leads her into a erm…sports hall.

Lauren Pope has confirmed this will be her final series of TOWIE, with a source telling Now: 'Lauren is leaving TOWIE, she's working on developing her business'

She’s one of the last remaining original cast members, but now Lauren Pope is set to leave The Only Way Is Essex at the end of this series. Nooo!

MORE: TOWIE drama! Lydia Bright breaks down in tears as James ‘Arg’ Argent is left out in the cold…

Popey – who has been a regular member of the TOWIE crew since the ITV hit first aired waaaay back in 2010 – is quitting the show in order to grow her business ventures and to follow her dream of finding success across the pond in America.

A source told Now: ‘Lauren is leaving TOWIE, she’s working on developing her business. Her dream is to live and work in LA and she feels TOWIE is holding her back.’

Lauren will have starred in a jaw-dropping 16 series of the award-winning show when she makes her exit at the end of the current one, which is set to finish on 11th November.

Since starting on the show, Lauren has made quite a name for herself in the fashion world.

In 2007 she launched her own brand of clip-in hair extensions, Hair Rehab London, which has boomed following the beauty’s rise to fame. The 32-year-old has also released numerous collections exclusively with In The Style; and if she wasn’t busy enough, Lauren also squeezes in beauty tutorials on her YouTube channel and blog.

And it seems as though Lauren has already been testing the water Stateside, after she was spotted representing her brands at New York Fashion Week last month.

Lauren is the latest TOWIE star to quit, after co-star Mario Falcone announced in August that he was leaving the show to ‘explore something new’.

And she won’t be the first British reality star to quit the show that made them famous in order to head to the US, either.

Just last month, Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson revealed she is planning a move to New York City in order to live with her new love, American hunk Alik Alfus.

There’ll be nobody left at this rate!

The TOWIE cast did the James Bond theme in style - but what else would you expect from this glamorous bunch?

When TOWIE’s hunky newcomer Michael Hassini threw a James Bond-themed for his 21st birthday last night, the cast proved that they were more than capable of stepping up to the glamorous dress code.

The girls, who all proved a contender for the next Bond girl, wore floor-length gowns to celebrate the occasion. Lewis Bloor’s ex Nicole Bass, who caused a stir when she arrived on the TOWIE scene in Marbella making her ex desperate to win her back, wore a backless fishtail gown. And it turns out the Essex beauty has more in common with new flame Michael than we thought, as the pair’s birthdays are just ONE day apart – watch out, Lewis, or they’ll be planning a joint birthday treat together soon!

Kate Wright, another newcomer to the show, wore a slinky black two-piece accessorised with blingy silver jewellery, lacy gloves – and, of course, lots of cleavage. Jess Wright wore a risque red number from her own fashion range, while Ferne McCann opted for a floor-length silver dress.

What the men lacked in guns or martini glasses, they made up for in sex appeal. Birthday boy Michael Hassini, a decent contender for Pierce Brosnan’s bond, wore his luscious locks slicked back along with a classic bow tie and tuxedo cobination. Even Pete Wicks, the rugged hunk of the show, smartened up. Posting on his Instagram a photo captioned ‘Making an effort today…’, Pete tamed his wild mane into a tight topknot and donned a white tuxedo jacket.

We were surprised to see Michael’s love rival Lewis Bloor attending the do, perhaps proving that the TOWIE cast are able to put their differences aside in the name of partying. Or was this the case? Either way, we can’t wait to see the night’s antics on the next TOWIE episode. Watch this space.

Lauren Goodger's recent Instagram post seems to suggest a reunion with Jake McLean...

It is no secret that Lauren Goodger and Jake McLean have had a turbulent relationship over the past few years. They first broke up in December 2013 after over a year of dating, and just a few days ago she hinted in her New! column that the pair had split. But Lauren put up a clue on her Instagram that they may have reunited for a third time…

Posting 13 hours ago, the former TOWIE star put up a picture of a boy’s legs next to hers in a cinema seat, captioned ‘Cinema with the boy ‘. However, the mystery continues, because Lauren deleted the post shortly afterwards.

SEE MORE BREAKING CELEBRITY NEWS

Was she referring to Jake? Just a few days after she announced the split, it seems unlikely that Lauren would be talking about anyone else. Perhaps the tanning business-owner has found time to fit in a heart-to-heart with Jake, following THIS statement in her New! column this week: ‘Me and Jake aren’t talking at the moment and haven’t done for about a week now. I can’t afford to have anything or anyone distract me from my focus.’

Aww! We really hope you two can make it up. Lauren really does seem serious about pursuing a future with Jake, after gushing to OK! Magazine last July: ‘Starting a family is the most important thing for us. I can’t wait to be the mum of his children.’  She’s even had his name tattooed to her wrist. Let’s hope Lauren’s mysterious deleted Instagram post is a sign of good things to come for these two.

The TOWIE lovebirds are MEANT to be

It looks like Jessica Wright and Pete ‘Pirate’ Wicks might finally be getting together on TOWIE – after several series’ worth of flirting, and one initial round of failed dating. So we’ve put together just why they make the PERFECT couple. Because they do, and we’re all made up for them.

Go on guys, make it official.

1. They’ve got crazy chemistry
Neither can stop from smiling and Jess’s eyes truly light up when she’s around Pete (as would ours…). Jess is the type of lass who takes a while to open up to guys, but she’s immediately all smiles with Pete. And that’s the kind of chemistry you can’t fake. Aww.

READ MORE CELEB NEWS 

2. They’re both flipping gorgeous
The pair look amazing together, and while we all know it’s personally which rules in the dating world, the fact that they both look like, er, THAT isn’t going to hinder things. With genes like that, just IMAGINE the babies. They’d be all pouty, with dark hair. Cute or what?

3. She asked HIM out
And that takes some guts! In last night’s episode, Pete asked:
‘So, Jess, are you asking me out on a date?’
‘I guess I am,’ she replied. And a nation’s hearts melted.

YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT PETE WICKS USED TO LOOK LIKE 

4. They’ve had some space to think
The last time the pair dated, visiting a vineyard together, it fizzled out. Now that Jess is feeling more ready for a relationship, she’s in the right headspace – and has apologised to Pete for, as they’d say in Essex, mugging him off. ‘First and foremost I just want to say a massive apology. I absolutely owe you one after the vineyard,’ she said last night.

5. Jess is ready for a relationship now
… and we all know the worst thing you can do, love-wise, is rush into something when you’re not ready. Now Jess feels like she can go in full steam ahead, perhaps this relationship will go further than her last, rather lukewarm dalliance with Dan Edgar – who rather meanly suggested that she’s only fun when she’s had a drink. Erm, nice.

6. They go ice skating on their first (well, second) date. THIS IS A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS.
Remember going ice-skating with that boy you liked in school? It’s SO totally year nine, but swoonsome all the same. Hand-holding, waist grabbing, and chips at the end. We reckon it’s a timeless, classic date and the perfect choice for Jess and Pete to get close – so it’s pretty apt that they’ve been filmed ice skating for the next episode. Awww. Aside from the falling on your bum part. That bruisey bit is never fun.

The photo in question pictures a close up of the TOWIE star’s hands crossed over one another in a pose often used by mums-to-be on their growing bellies – and also featured an impressive piece of bling on her ring finger.

Her fans quickly got the wrong end of the stick, with one writing: ‘Looks like you’re pregnant!????!!!!!’

Another posted: ‘Looks like a preggers pose, bun in the oven? Xx’

Another said: ‘Thought you was preggers…’

Meanwhile, referring to the bling, one fan wrote: ‘Engagement ring????’

And they weren’t along, with another writing: ‘Engaged??’

But other fans were quick to point out two key flaws in the pregnancy/engagement conspiracy theories. One – the shot was taken against her legs, not her belly. And two – the ring appears to be on her right hand, not the left.

At ease, everyone! At ease.

In actual fact, Lydia shared the snap in order to show off her gorgeous deep purple manicure! She captioned the snap: ‘Winter nails.’

But we can totally see how people got the wrong idea!

Still, we don’t think we’ll be haring the pitter-patter of tiny feet or wedding bells for Lydia anytime soon, after Lyds cut off all contact with boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent during Sunday’s instalment of The Only Way Is Essex after he lied about his whereabouts on a recent night out. Sad face.

Instead of staying at his mum’s house as planned with Lydia, Arg ended up crashing at Diag and Fran‘s house.

TOWIE‘s Tommy Mallet already has an arm full of tattoos as well as several inkings down the right side of his torso, but now the Essex lad is opting for more!

Mr Mallet took to Instagram on Thursday evening and shared a photo of himself at a tattoo parlour in Romford.

Next to the photo he wrote: ‘Popped into see my boy @teddyhendrix and decided w’re gonna start a back piece @sleepwelltattooparlour lets do this.’

Exciting stuff!

We’re desperate to know what 23-year-old Tommy is having inked onto his back.

The reality star, who has been in a relationship with co-star Georgia Kousoulou, 24, for over a year, showed-off his many tattoos over the summer whilst on holiday in Marbella with the TOWIE crew.

Tommy isn’t the only Essex lad with an array of tatts.

Pete Wicks is also a fan. In fact, he’s definitely MORE than a fan – he’s covered in body art!

Pete has shared several photos on social media flaunting his tatts and let’s just say, he’s certainly built up a collection of female admirers!

Speaking to Now, Pete revealed that he wants to be covered in tattoos.

‘I dunno why. Everyone says I’m gonna ruin myself, they’re probably right,’ he admitted, adding: ‘I regret loads of them. Whenever you’ve got tattoos you always see tattoos that you want, that are better. So you wish you could take some off and start again. So I’ve got loads that I don’t necessarily regret but I just wish I’d done different things with them. But I’m having some lasered at the minute so I can start again.’

Pete also opened up about his most meaningful tattoo.

‘I’ve got my mum’s name and date of birth, and my nan’s. Mum’s on the inside of my arm, nan’s on the back.’

Jess Wright launches new fashion collection

It was all going off in the season opener in Marbella, what with that Lydia vs Vas spat and the Jess snogging Pete aftermath etc., and now it looks like there’s ANOTHER romantic drama on the horizon in tonight’s episode.

We all know that Lewis Bloor couldn’t make it to Marbs after losing his passport (doh!) but that doesn’t stop his ex-girlfriend Nicole Bass from putting in an appearance.

Gorgeous Nicole quickly catches the eye of the other boys, including new TOWIE face Michael Hassini who clearly fancies his chances. But just how will Lewis react to this potential new romance?!

Well luckily for us we’ll get to find out as Mr Bloor gets wind of Mike’s interest in Nicole, despite being all the way back in Essex.

And it sounds like he’s not too happy about the news as he’s quick to vent about it to James ‘Lockie’ Lock and Jake Hall. Uh-oh, has new boy Mike already upset the TOWIE lads?

We only ask because Mr Hassini is also set to stir up a bit of trouble for Jake and Chloe Lewis, having accused the pretty brunette of waiting around at home while Jake is out having fun. Eek…

Luckily it’s not all the bad sort of drama going down. THAT Jessica Wright and Pete Wicks hook-up looks set to continue, with Jess confessing that it might be more than a holiday romance.

We seriously hope this could go the distance – it’s about time Jess had some luck in the love department!

Meanwhile Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou celebrate their first anniversary (congrats!) and James ‘Arg’ Argent takes his theory test – but will he pass? Fingers crossed…

Former TOWIE star Amy Childs revealed she has a lot of regrets about her surgeries during a TV interview with Lorraine Kelly

Amy Childs is no stranger to plastic surgery, but the former TOWIE star has declared she’s giving it up for good.

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on her ITV morning show, Amy revealed that she regrets her previous surgeries – including a boob augmentation and lip fillers – and offered a word of advice for fans considering going under the knife.

Amy told Lorraine: ‘I’ve got quite a few surgery regrets. Obviously I had my boob job, and then obviously had lip fillers and it went totally wrong.

‘But now [I’m] saying to these young girls: ‘Really think about it. If you want to have your boobs done, really think about it. Go to someone great.”

She added: ‘I’m 25 and I don’t want to undergo another augmentation.’

When asked by Lorraine if that was it as far as surgery goes, Amy replied: ‘Definitely, definitely. I’m 25, you know!’

Amy also opened up about her experience on the show that made her famous, saying: ‘When I was in TOWIE, everyone gives you stuff. You can have your lips done, you can have your boobs done, and you’re like ‘ooh, amazing!’.

‘But actually you’ve really got to think about it and think, ‘No, I’m not going to rush into it. I’ve got to really think about it.’

Speaking ahead of the launch of her book, 100% Me, Amy revealed how she hopes the tome will inspire people, saying: ‘It’s not an autobiography, it’s an inspirational read. It’s how I got started, what I did.’

And she had a message for any young girls aspiring to follow in her high-heeled footsteps: ‘You know, if I can do it, you can do it. That’s a good little tip for all the girls out there.’

How time flys eh!
Sam, who is showing off her hot bod in a pink and black bikini looks fab and flawless whilst Lewis looks like a cheeky lil’ teen!
Recalling his relationship with Sam, Lewis has revealed that Sam, ‘taught me a lot about myself and also about appreciating people for the lessons they teach you in life.’
He added: ‘Girls are brought up in their life knowing they’ll have to kiss a few frogs to find their prince, boys aren’t brought up like that. We think we’re Kings and we want to find our Queen and Sam was the first girl I ever fell in love with.’
Naww!
Whilst Sam has since left TOWIE, Lewis is one of our fave characters on the show.
In fact, on Wednesday night’s show, Lewis’ ex girlfriend Nicole Bass made her debut appearance and Lewis was quick to warn new Essex hotty, Michael Hassini, to steer clear, calling him a ‘f***ing greasy p***k’.
Ouch!
Speaking on the phone to co-star Tommy Mallet, Lewis said: ‘Nicole’s mine mate. I ain’t letting anyone else go near her.’
We can’t WAIT for Sunday’s episode of TOWIE!

Body confident and gorgeous, Ferne McCann from TOWIE and Selena Gomez, won't let the haters get them down

If there’s one thing we hate it’s body shamers! And it turns out we aren’t alone.

In a matter of days, both TOWIE‘s Ferne McCann and Selena Gomez have hit back at the haters saying that no matter what is thrown at them they will continue to love their bods!

TOWIE’s Ferne McCann shows off her AMAZING figure in new underwear shoot

First, the lovely Ferne took to Twitter to call out those who had called her ‘horrid’, ‘a state’ and the ‘worst woman on TV’ online.

But Fearne wasn’t going to let those haters get her down and hours later was getting a wave of love from her fans as she got her flirt on with Liam Blackwell.

Selena Gomez has admitted that she had to have counselling to help her deal with her feelings after she became the target of cruel body shamers.

Back in April the pop star found herself at the receiving end of unkind weight jibes after paparazzi bikini photos landed while she was on holiday.

Speaking to US Weekly, Selena confessed that it’s something that she has seen a therapist to overcome.

‘I’ve been working in therapy,’ she said, adding: ‘I’d land at the airport, and people would yell out, ‘You’re fat!’ It was awful.’

At the time, the former Disney star responded in the best way possible – with a smokin’ hot photo of herself in skimpy swimwear with the caption: ‘I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove’.

Frustrated with the way she has been treated by certain media outlets and social network trolls, Selena added: ‘I’m so f*cking nice to everyone, and everyone is so vile to me. I’ve been working since I was seven. I’ve been a UNICEF ambassador since I was 17. It’s so disappointing that I’ve become a tabloid story.’

Good on Ferne and Selena for hitting back at those making ridiculous, cruel and untrue comments about their bodies, hopefully this will help shame some of them into shutting up.

Stop fat shaming Arg! Fans turn on James Argent as TOWIE’s Lydia Bright shares loved-up snap

Yup, 27-year-old Arg has slipped on a 1950s style suit and a classic tribly – much like singing sensation Frank – and actually recreated one of the music legend’s iconic album covers by posing infront of a plane at Heathrow airport.

Check out the incredible new pics!

James Argent recreates Frank Sinatra’s album cover

Sinatra’s famous ‘Come Fly With Me’ album (everyone sing along now: ‘come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away….’) was released way back in 1958 but it looks like Arg is giving the classic cover a bit of a revival.

Speaking about his singing hero, Arg says: ‘Frank Sinatra has always been my biggest icon and I’ve grown up listening to his music since day one. It’s an honour to recreate my biggest hero’s most famous album cover and Come Fly with Me will always be my favourite Sinatra hit.”

Hmm, although Arg is looking VERY dapper, we are desperately trying to hold back our laughter. Sorry, Arg!

So what’s all this in aid of?

Well, Arg’s Sinatra impression is to celebrate 100 years since the singer’s birth as well as the launch of British Airway’s USA campaign.
Essex lad Arg has been showing off his talents recently and last week he even serenaded girlfriend Lydia Bright on ITV’s Lorraine, singing Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.

FYI – it’s VERY sweet and we’ve got to say, Arg has a blimmin’ good voice!

Good on ya Arg!

The TOWIE star she reveals that she's never had anything cosmetic done to her face...

The TOWIE cast are no strangers to plastic surgery, but Jessica Wright has revealed in a new interview that she’s ‘categorically never had’ lip fillers. Oo-er.

The brunette has been snapped over the years showing fuller looking lips but put the rumours to rest in an interview with Hello.co.uk where she admitted that the craziest thing she’s ever heard about herself was: ‘That I’ve had fillers. I categorically never have had.’

She continued: ‘Each to their own, however, I would never be someone to overdo it [surgery] or even consider anything.’

Thirty-year-old Jess had breast implants back in 2011 taking her from a 32C to a 32DD which was documented on the Essex-based reality TV show.

She later admitted that she regretted her decision and was considering having a boob reduction, citing that at the time of her surgery boob jobs were in fashion and now she felt like hers didn’t look very elegant.

Eek.

Jessica also appeared on Good Morning Britain earlier today to celebrate five years of TOWIE (uh huh, FIVE WHOLE YEARS) and said that she can’t watch old episodes of the show because her appearance makes her cringe.

Don’t worry gal, we totally feel ya.
