The Only Way Is Essex

Our favourite Essex clan are back, and the new year is bringing more tears, tantrums and fallouts.

After their luxurious Tenerife holiday ended in a big bust up, tensions run high as Chloe and Elliott still seem to be at each other's throats.

It's a time of changing dynamics in many an Essex relationship, with more tears, tantrums and declarations on their way.

Arg’s return on Sunday has put Lydia's head in a spin.

Relationships face testing times with our Essex posse this week; with home truths, ultimatums and crises of consciences taking centre stage.

Tommy and Lockie have been putting all their energy into their rival club nights at Circuit and Luxe, but prides and reputations are at stake.

It’s St Patricks day in Essex and it proves to be a dramatic night for all.

After an explosive row at the St Patrick’s Day party, relations between Torgia (Tommy and Georgia) and Friags (Fran and Diags) are worse than ever.

It’s all got too much for Chloe Simms, as she’s starting to feel smothered after hanging out with Elliott again.

Fresh rumours of Jake and Lauren’s liaison being more sexed-based than snog-based have threatened to de-rail Jake’s relationship with Chloe L.

As we near the end of the series, Chloe L is no closer to deciding what to do about Jake.

Last time on TOWIE, Lydia had broken up with her ‘perfect’ boyfriend... and already she and Arg are getting closer and closer.
