The Only Way is Essex

TOWIE returned on Sunday night with a Bang. Series eleven began with Billie Fairs and Greg Shepherds pregnancy news. We were able to see Billie having a scan in which the doctor was to tell her the sex of the baby. However we would not know of the sex yet as, in typical TOWIE style, there was going to be a huge party in honour of Billie’s pregnancy, and the sex of the baby would then be revealed.

The episode featured two big parties; Billie’s pregnancy party and Mario’s birthday party, which was extremely elaborate and over the top, in a rented party house.  

At Billie’s party she revealed to the gang that she was having a girl by cutting a cake and displaying the pink sponge instead of blue. She also gave them all another shock by announcing that Greg had proposed to her whilst they were on holiday, and of course she said yes! Billie looked extremely cute telling everyone all her exciting news 😀

Party time: Last week Billie was joined by her TOWIE castmates and she was presented with a baby cake

Gemma and Bobby’s awkwardness continued throughout the entire episode as they bitched about one another to everyone and insisted that they were waiting for the other to apologise first. At the end of the episode Arg got them both together and eventually they managed to sort out their differences and once again became BFF’s, awwwww.

I also cannot ignore the new and improved Mario. Single and looking extremely Suave, Mario definitely stole the show with his pimped out Range Rover, OTT party house, dapper suits and flirtatious behaviour; especially towards the newbie Grace, who happen’s to be playing both Mario and Lewis, Hello player 😉 Gemma referred to Mario as The Wolf of Essex and he seems to be loving the title as he posted this picture on Instagram:

Mario’s birthday bash turned out to be a huge success and everyone had a good time. Well everyone except Charlie and Ferne. They tried to mend their broken relationship at the beginning of the episode but it went completely downhill by the end; Charlie had heard many rumours that Ferne had cheated on him and they had a full blown argument. Charlie threw out the accusation to Ferne and she denied the entire thing, he then called her a hypocrite and mocked the “crocodile tears” that were to come. Charlie also told Ferne that there was no chance they would get back together and Ferne was so disgusted by Charlie’s behaviour that it doesn’t seem like she’ll be wanting that reconciliation any time soon. I have to say though that Charlie is looking very smart in this series, even more so than Mario, and I didn’t think that was possible.

Sam Fairs also spoke about her Crohns disease on the episode, and shared a cosy moment with her mum and sister Billie. Billie and their mum couldn’t stop crying but Sam simply laughed and tried to put on a brave face.

The first episode has already has so much drama, I cant wait to see what’s to come throughout the series.
