About The Show

Highly addictive and completely outrageous, The Only Way Is Essex celebrates the glamorous lives of Essex Ladies and Lads and promises to have you hooked, tanned and vajazzled.

The Only Way Is Essex

Series 1

Welcome to the world of Essex!

Less of a TV programme, more of a cultural phenomenon - TOWIE (as The Only Way Is Essex is known) contains flash cars, big watches and false boobs. Their tans may be fake but the people are all real (kind of).

Follow the real-life soap opera of these ultra-glamorous and very orange Essex residents and their outrageous lives.

Will Mark, the good-looking Essex lad, ever manage to untangle his complicated love life or will he remain a bit of a player? Can glamorous Amy manage to achieve both a modelling career and a romance with entrepreneur, Kirk? Will loveable Arg convince Lydia to give him a second chance? And will super bitchy Lauren ever be able to move on from the love of her life?

It's glitz and glam, tears and tantrums, champagne cocktails and spray tans all the way in this hilarious and addictive reality show.

Don't resist - the only way is Essex!
