The Only Way is Essex-Lydia puts Mark in his place

Lydia stood up to Mark on last night’s The Only Way is Essex, telling him he is disrespectful to girls and she needs to stick up for them.

Mark, who had been expecting Lucy, after texting her to meet him ASAP, claiming it was in her interest, told Lydia that he didn’t want to argue with her and he was 100 per cent telling the truth about sleeping with Lucy and didn’t want people thinking he is a liar.

‘I don’t need to brag about sleeping with Lucy’, he said.

Lydia replied that she didn’t want to comment on the situation and came to speak to Mark to sort out their ‘situation.’

‘I know you’re authoritative and powerful, but I don’t want you to take James away from me’, said Lydia.

‘The last thing I want is for you and Arg to split up. I’m looking forward to the day you get married’, Mark replied.

He added, ‘Unless you have something good to say then don’t say anything at all.’

‘I won’t talk to you then’, said Lydia.

Lydia’s attack on Mark came after Arg ditched her for Mr Wright the night before (Sunday’s episode) and in spite of an apology from James.

Lydia told James, who visited her at her shop that he’s acting like an idiot again and he is Mark’s bitch. ‘You’re the only prick in Essex that is friends with him’, she said. ‘We’ve gone back ten steps.’
