PREVIEW: The Only Way Is Essex (2021), ITVBe

The gang returns with a bang and no shortage of glam, gossip or drama. Chloe B and Lockie are the talk of the town when news of their secret tryst spreads.

This will be the first series with a reduced cast and tweaked format. Last month, ITV revealed a major shake-up to the hit reality series.

In a statement, they said: "After more than 10 fabulous years following the lives of our ever-growing cast, TOWIE will be evolving with some changes. As it looks ahead to future series, the next instalment of our BAFTA award winning show returns to Essex to follow a smaller group of cast memebers."

The Only Way Is Essex returns Sunday 12th September at 9pm on ITVBe.
