We think we rather prefered it when they were denying they were together, at least then  it meant they were being discreet, but now that The Only Way Is Essex stars, Gemma Collins and James Argent have gone public with their relationship, they aren’t leaving much to the imagination!

Filming of the new series of TOWIE began last week and according to reports in the Sun newspaper, now that the cat is out of the bag, Gemma and Arg simply can’t keep their hands off each other during filming.

The paper pictured them kissing whilst filming scenes during an Olympic-themed party for the new series, and according to sources it’s not just for the camera as the couple carry it on to the bedroom when the camera has stopped snapping!

Speaking in a joint interview with Gemma in Heat magazine, Arg said: “It’s the best sex I’ve ever had. I think Gemma is a beautiful girl, very sexy. And I love her curves.”

Then, in a perfect example of TMI (Too Much Information) he went on to describe how some of their duvet antics were accompanied by a Backstreet Boys soundtrack!

Gemma added: “He’s perfect. We’ve just got that chemistry. We’re like magnets.”

They aren’t the only loved up couple this year though, and with this series starting with the most TOWIE couples together than any other series, there seemed to be some what of a competition to prove who were the hottest couple!

Never one to be outdone, a usually icy Sam Faiers saw the display as an opportunity to compete, grabbing boyfriend Joey Essex in for some smackers of her own (the poor boy couldn’t have known what had happened) during filming at the same party.
