The Only Way is Essex-Mark gatecrashes a date and the reason why he and Lauren broke-up

 Feeling lonely with his takeaway pizza and night alone in front of the tele, a heartbroken Mr Wright decided to go and join his best mater Arg on a romantic date with girlfriend Lydia on last night’s episode. Clearly Mark hadn’t heard three’s a crowd, as he sat with the pair, who had been enjoying desert. While Arg chatter away to Mark, Lydia didn’t seem exactly thrilled by his presence and gave it to him straight about his failed relationship with Lauren, who at the time was at Gemma’s single event, a lock and key night.

However, Mark lost all sympathy when, earlier in the day, Lauren’s sister had a run in with Lucy, one of Mark’s exes, and implied she was responsible for Mark and Lauren’s break-up because of what happened in Marbella? Lauren’s sister thanked Lucy, who was out with boyfriend Mario, for getting Lauren away from Mark, but told her she owed her sister an apology. Lucy replied that she would never apologise to Lauren and from now on will keep her distance as they (Lucy and Lauren) can never be friends.

Also, on last night’s episode.

• Lydia, her mum Debbie and Joey, tried their hand at selling at a carboot sale only to fail and make a £6 profit. Not a great start ahead of opening a cake shop Lydia. At the car boot Lydia also found Joey a pair of vintage Levi’s, a size too small, which he later wore to the singles night only to be accused by a girl of touching his crotch every two seconds.
• Mark went to a yoga class full of women and nearly ended up breaking his 14 nights of celibacy.
• Harry dressed as cupid for the singles night. He revealed to his mate that his ideal man would be the total opposite of him, not blond, not orange, but have a nice tan, more fun than him and hunky.
• Gemma and Arg worked out with Dino, but were put to same by runner buddies and boyfriend and girlfriend Mario and Lucy.
• Arg revealed at dinner to Lydia that he wants a change of career, and thinks he would be good as a radio DJ.
• Dino and Georgio aren’t having much luck with the ladies, mainly due to being vertically challenged.
• Lauren Pope gained joint custody of her and Kirk’s dog Bozo, but Kirk wanted Lauren back.
• Kirk is to help his dad Mick with his new hotel.

The Only Way is Essex-Mark's off girls as new lads hit the scene

 It's been a long wait over the summer, but Towie is back, hurrah. Amy Childs may have left the show, but there are some new characters in Essex, male model twins Dino and Georgio and Maria’s boyfriend Mario, who didn’t leave much to the imagination, making their first appearances on last night’s show.

And they’re not the only changes, as last night ultimate player Mark Wright turned soppy following his break-up from fiancée Lauren weeks ago.

In a conversation with best mate Arg, Mark questioned him about where he had been and accused him of not being there for him like he was when he split with Lydia, who are now back together.

Arg said that he thinks he hasn’t got the right balance between him (Mark) and girlfriend Lydia as he either spends too much time with Mark and Lydia gets annoyed or vice versa.

Mark told Arg he’s devastated about the break-up and the fact he knows they will never get back together kills him.

‘I’m genuinely cut to pieces’, he said.

24 hours later and Mark tells his best mate he’s seen the light and will no longer listen to Lady in Red, but watch films like The Hangover. And in a shock move he pledged to 14 nights of celibacy.

Arg told him he wanted to support him, but didn’t think he would be able to do it, backed by Nanny Pat, who popped into Marks’ flat to collect his washing.

The real test came, not just for Mark, but Joey having split from Sam and Kirk, who ended things with Lauren Pope, at jess’ party when the guys bumped into their exes for the first time.

To make the situation more awkward, Mark approached Lauren, who was looking stunning, and told her it’s hard to forget the way I loved you.

‘You’re the most beautiful girl in the world’, he said. ‘I will love you for the rest of my life.’

Although earlier in the day, Lauren told her new roommate Lauren Pope that she is well rid of Mark, who was Mr Wrong not Mr Wright.

And Joey followed Mark’s lead at the party, arguing with ex Sam about why they split up, after telling new best mate Kirk he still fancies the shop owner.

So it seems that Mark and Joey are loosing their touch especially now the new models on the block have turned up and are impressing the ladies, not with their height or lack of but their Greek and Italian backgrounds.

However things are looking up for Arg, who is back with Lydia, who is opening a bakery, and even getting on with his future mother-in-law Debbie, who told him he is looking more and more like Dustin Hoffman everyday, referring to his weight loss of half a stone.

Car saleswoman Gemma is also doing well after loosing half her body weight and getting over Kirk’s dad Mick.
