The Only Way Is Essex

Brand new real-life soap following a cast of real Essex characters as they go about their lives. This ten-part programme focuses on the ultra-glamorous side of Essex, with nail bars, nightclubs and tanning salons acting as backdrops to the action. The series is filmed close to transmission and the cast members can watch the show while shooting continues - which means that each episode features the fallout from the previous one. There will also be daily updates online. Mark, a club promoter and serial womaniser, plays the field while claiming to be in love with on-off girlfriend Lauren. Jordan lookalike Amy is looking for Mr Right and hoping to win a lucrative underwear modelling contract. Club owner Kirk is trying to figure out how to win Amy's heart, while feisty Jessica is part of a girl band and dreams of making it to the top. Finally, Candy and Michael work behind the bar of Kirk's club, and they always have their ears to the ground for the latest gossip.

The fallout from Lauren's party is revealed, Kirk's quest to win the heart of wannabe model Amy continues and club promoter Mark hosts a speed-dating event.
