It seems like forever since we had our last Essex fix, but have no fear, The Only Way Is Essex is returning to our screens on Sunday, in a  juicy explosion of fabulousness.

And for those of you who simply can’t wait till 10pm on Sunday, here is a sneaky peak at what the Reem gang have in store for us.

Arg talks about the tensions between him and Mario since his showdown with Lucy at the Marathon Party back in April.  Whilst shopping for fancy dress outfits to wear to Mick‘s Vegas themed birthday party, Arg confides to Diags and Tom about the strained relationship, saying:  ”He’s trying to be friendly to me but at the same time he’s having a go at me for speaking to Lydia and saying things I shouldn’t have said as though like he’s some hero, a gentleman and he’d never do that. But really he’s just a two-faced hypocrite.

Things between Joey and Sam seem to be stepping up a gear, but whilst Joey spells out his love for his ex in alphabites over breakfast, Sam confides in Billi, Lucy and Gemma, while at a pole dancing lesson, that she isn’t too keen to jump back into a relationship.

When Gemma asks her:  ”How you getting on with Joey?

Sam replies: “Yeah good, I stayed at his last night.  Things are going nicely but I’m kind of enjoying being single. I don’t want to label it as boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Meanwhile, Gemma is on cloud nine when she announces to the girls that she has a new man in her life, saying:  ”I know Mario’s good looking, Joey’s good looking. He (new man) is undoubtedly the best looking man in Essex! I will give you all a run for your money. I’ve cleaned up girls!…….

All the gang are getting ready to celebrate Sugar Hut owner, Mick’s Vegas themed birthday, with everyone dressing up for the occasion.  But what is a party with out a little Essex drama?   Don’t worry, Billi, Cara and Jess are on hand to provide us with some catty entertainment after Jess confronts the marathon runners over allegedly slagging her off, the row goes a little something like this:

Jess – “Gemma overheard you slagging me and my Mum off”

Billi – “Go get Gemma, come back and see what she says”.

Jess – “What difference does it make what she says”

Billi – “Cos you aint got the bottle”

Jess – “Slag me off all you want cos I couldn’t give a *&% because you’re not my mates. Don’t slag my family off. Have some respect.”

Ooer!

The Only way Is Essex continues on Sunday night at 10pm on ITV2 / ITV2 HD.
