The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers and Joey Essex are reportedly  planning to get married!!!!

The couple, who have just began filming the new series this week, have already made plans to move in together, and have even discussed trying for a baby before Christmas.

However, it would seem they are now planning to add a wedding to their already jam-packed schedules, the question is will they beat Lucy and Mario down the aisle.

Joey has previously said he will not propose to Sam on the hit ITV2 reality show, however reports in the Sun newspaper today suggest Sam is simply waiting for the nod from her Reem boyfriend to start planning the next TOWIE wedding of the year.

The Minies Boutique owner is quoted as saying:

“We are going to get married soon but I’m waiting for him to ask me first. It is up to him.

“When we get married we will be Mr and Mrs Essex!”

She went on to add that she has already chosen the ring that she wants, but joked that Joey will have to up his endorsements and appearances before he can afford it.

Joey confirmed that he intends to propose, but commented that he would not divulge any details as he wants it to be a surprise.

Sam’s sister and co-star Billie has previously revealed that the pair would be engaged by the end of the year, saying to New! magazine:
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was at Christmas. They’re so loved-up.”
