The Only Way is Essex-Lucy tells Mario I did sleep with Mark

Lucy confessed all to Maio on last night’s episode after he threatened to read the text she supposedly sent to Jess asking Mark’s sister to cover for her.

‘I wanted to meet you cos I’ve never been honest about that night and I think you know that’, said Lucy.

‘Yep’, relpied Mario as Lucy decribed the night in Marbella from start to finish-telling him she got more and more drunk and the last thing she remembered was going to Mark and Jess’ joint party.

‘Where did you wake up’, Mario asked her.

‘With Mark’, said Lucy. ‘But I was dressed.’

‘Needless to say It’s over’, said a deflated Mario. ‘You’ve lied for months. There’s nothing you can say. I was in Ibiza for 12 hours. I’ve done nothing but treat you. Made you part of the family and brought us a flat.’

Lucy pleaded with Mario and said it had made her realise how much she loves him. ‘I’ve never had a boyfriend as good as you’, she said.

Mario reiterated that it’s over and told Lucy her morals are ‘well off.’

‘All I can say is I was really drunk. It’s the biggest mistake I’ve ever made’, she said.

Mario responded by telling Lucy she treats him like shit and always lets him down.

Speaking to Joey that evening, Mario said Lucy had fucked him over.

Joey said he felt for him and that nice boys always get hurt like he did with Sam.

The Only Way is Essex-Mario tells Lucy not to move in

Mario took back his offer of Lucy moving in with him last night, after claiming she is a little immature and insecure. ‘You looking at my phone makes me think we shouldn’t be together.

‘Obvisouly you don’t trust me. We’re not ready to move in together.’

‘Fine’, replied Lucy.

‘You can come over when ever you want. You’ll have a key, but you won’t live here In six months time we’ll see how it is. If its right you can move in. I’m doing this for our relationship.’

Mario’s decision followed Lucy airing concerns that Mario had spoken to the two Lauren’s on his boy’s night out and told them about his hall pass.

Lucy told him it wasn’t exactly a hall pass, but he could do what he felt like doing. Lucy asked Mario why he spoke to Lauren G and P about it, and Mario replied that it just came up in conversation.

‘Are you telling me or I can and can’t talk to now’, said Mario. ‘The girls thought you said about a hall pass because you feel guilty.’ Although Mario said he believed it was because she felt bad about going through his phone.

Speaking to Lydia, Lucy said she felt like her and Mario had taken a massive step back. She said she was concerned as Mario had never mentioned Lauren G before, who at the Halloween party was grinding behind him.

However, Lydia was preoccupied with Gemma’s declaration of undying love for Arg. She said she hated that someone else loves her boyfriend as he is hers to love. And it probably didn’t help that after Arg told Lydia how Gemma feels about him he said he had told her that if he wasn’t with her then they might be together.

The Only Way is Essex-Sam gets the Wright approval

Sam was welcomed into the Wright family on last night’s episode as Mark’s mum Carol in invited her to dinner.

However, while out buying the ingredients for the dinner, Carol bumped into Mark’s ex Lauren at the supermarket. To make things more awkward, she revealed to Lauren that she was cooking a big dinner for Sam with the family. ‘Their dating, their just friends’, she insisted. ‘She’s requested shepherd’s pie.’

‘She’s taking my space’, joked Lauren. ‘You gave enough over the years’, replied Carol. Lauren suggested that if there were any left-overs she would come round the following day to polish them off.

But despite the light-hearted conversation, Lauren was more upset than she let on to Carol, telling friends Lauren P and Gemma that she was hurt as Carol had been more of a mum to her than her own mum. Gemma told her that from Carol’s point of view if Sam makes Mark happy then she will cook her shepherd’s pie.

At the Eright family meal, which Mark confirmed to Sam was a date, he said he wished ‘courting’ was like how it was in the old days as Nanny Pat told them what it was like when she was young. Mark said he felt girls were too ‘loose’ now and he wanted to go back to when couples just held hands. He went on to say that it’s terrible how many girls throw themselves at him and he says no everytime to them-as if?!

Mr Wright also revealed that he felt him and Sam were more than friends.

‘What is it you and me?’ he said to Sam. ‘When I left your house (after skiing) I was like fuck-how do I feel about her, maybe I’m falling for her? I don’t want to be in a serious relationship, but I don’t want you seeing other people and I won’t either. I think we’re more than friends?’ ‘Yes we are’, said Sam.

The Only Way is Essex-Mario sets the record straight

On last night’s TOWIE Mario, who bumped into ex Peri on the street, told her he head heard that she said he was only with Lucy to be the top boy in Essex, ‘It’s not true’, he said. ‘I chased Lucy for a year. It’s none of your business. You seem to be a bit bitter. Why would I pick you over Lucy?’

Peri was appalled by Mario’s comments and asked him who he thought he was speaking to her like that. ‘Do one’, said Mario.

At Joey’s pool party, Gemma told Mario he was out of order saying that to Peru as no-one wants to hear someone is prettier than them. She proceeded to tell Lucy and Mario that they need to grow up and she has had enough of listening to it.

Also on last night’s episode:

She said she felt embarrassed and was having to confirm to her family it wasn’t true. And when Lauren asked her about Mick she said he hadn’t spoken or text her.

However Mick implied to son Kirk that wasn’t the reason why he was ignoring Maria, but because he had heard she had been seeing another guy. ‘I don’t want to be messed around anymore’, he said, before claiming that he needs to listen to his son’s advice more.

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.’

The Only Way is Essex-Mark breaks-up Lucy and Mario

Mark successfully drove a wedge between couple Lucy and Mario on last night’s episode as he revealed that him and his ex had slept together three weeks ago, which Lucy adamantly denied.

The bombshell came after Mario asked Lucy to move in with him to his new apartment during their double date with Lydia and Arg. However the tables soon turned as after the run-in with Mark, Mario told Lucy they needed a break.

‘I would do anything for you. At the beginning of the night I bought us a flat, now Mark says you slept together’,fumed Mario. Lucy reacted by saying that Mark was just trying to bring them down as he can see how happy they are.

‘Lucy can’t stay away from Mark’, said Mario to Lydia, who was with the pair after Arg left their date to go meet Mark. ‘I treated you like a princess. It makes me question what we’re doing here’, Mario told Lucy.

‘I’ve wasted six months of my life believing Lucy’, claimed Mario, before telling his girlfriend they need to take a break.

And that wasn’t the only relationship that hit self destruct as Lydia told Arg, who not only ditched her for Mark, but who she caught with two girls at the club with Mark. ‘You’ve fucked up again’, she told him.

Earlier Lydia told Mario and Lucy that Mark controls people and James is getting sucked in. ‘He did it with Lauren for ten years. She got out. We are the three people (Lydia, Lucy, Mario) he can’t control. Mark has no other friends apart from Arg.’

The Only Way is Essex-Mick and Maria's first date causes Gemma's jealousy

Mick and Maria went on their first date on last night’s The Only Way is Essex.

Despite Mick having to play ‘teacher’ at dinner and explain to Maria where Chile is and that we have a coalition Government, the pair both said they fancied each other and agreed to go on another date.

However, Gemma wasn’t too happy when she got hold of the news that Mick and Maria are dating.

When Lauren Pope told Gemma that Maria and Mick were out on a date, Gemma first of all thought she was joking and then told her she was a bit pissed off about it. ‘What a bitch’, she said referring to Maria.

Lauren Pope replied, ‘But it was you that set them up?’ ‘I thought they wouldn’t get on’, said Gemma. ‘That’s back-fired a bit then’, replied Popey.

‘If they (Maria and Mick) get married I’ll pelt them with eggs’, claimed Gemma, who a week ago exclaimed she was over Mick?

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.

• Mark went to a yoga class full of women and nearly ended up breaking his 14 nights of celibacy.

The Only Way is Essex-Mick ditches Gemma

Gemma was left in tears on last night's episode as Mick took a bottle of champagne over to Lauren’s sister, Nicola, rather than her. Hours earlier Mick had told son Kirk that he had bought the champagne for the lady he fancies, but wouldn’t tell him who it was. Kirk presumed he was talking about Gemma and even gave her his blessing, but did later say to his girlfriend Popey, when he saw Gemma crying, that his dad hadn’t led her on.

Gemma, who has made it very clear to the whole of Essex her feelings for Mick, had a quick cry and told friends Chloe and Maria she was over it. She said that she needed to toughen up as she wears her heart on her sleeve and always gets hurt. She also confessed that she would never speak to Mick again.

But will Gemma be able to get over Mick as quickly as she claims? After telling friends in the past that she wants to marry him and have his babies, and Mick is her dream man, Although it appears Chloe thinks Gemma has had a lucky escape, as she said earlier in the episode that she couldn’t understand why a 29-year-old would want to be with someone so much older?

The Only Way is Essex- Arg hearts Amy??

Sam told Amy last night that she thinks Arg fancies her? Amy reacted  by saying she didn’t feel the same and when she gave him an inch loss treatment at her salon earlier in the day she couldn’t even find his willy. Whereas Arg seemed more interested in looking at Amy’s breast while she wrapped him in cling film.

Even Lydia told her mum Debbie before the Ream party that she suspects Amy has a soft spot for James. Debbie said she thought she liked him as a friend. Lydia said that she hoped so as she isn’t completely over him yet. ‘I don’t think James is her type’, replied Debbie.

Meanwhile, Kirk proved his love for Lauren, Popey, by asking her to move in with him. The Sugar Hut manager took Lauren on a rowing boat on the river where he directed a remote control boat to her containing a jewellery box with a key. She seemed relieved it wasn’t an engagement ring, and agreed to move in with him. Although Maria didn’t seem too pleased and warned her not to get trapped. She told her she thought it was sad her and Kirk aren’t friends. Lauren replied there will become a point when you become friends, but it will take time. However, Kirk appeared to have other ideas as he reminded Lauren that Maria would not be welcome in his home. ‘Our home’, reminded Lauren.

Also on last night’s episode, Gemma continued with her attempt to woo Mick, which failed miserably. The BMW sales woman baked the club owner an apple pie, which she left outside his home with a note. The note said to enjoy the apple pie, but she forgot one crucial thing to say who it was from. Mick guessed wrongly that it was Chloe and thanked her for her efforts, but Chloe told him straight it wasn’t from her and warned him not to eat food left outside his home as he doesn’t know what’s in it. Mick replied that he enjoyed it and is ok.Gemma overheard their conversation and set the record straight, telling Mick she had baked the pie as she wanted to look after him and let him know how she feels about him without snogging his face off. ‘Did you enjoy it’ she said. Mick nodded and said thank you, probably not the response Gemma was looking for?

The Only Way is Essex- Kirk's fairground birthday party

Normal 23-year-olds would go out to a couple of bars and maybe a club on their birthday, but this is Essex and the bigger the better for Kirk, who decided on hosting a fairground/circus themed party at his home, complete with rides, fairground games and fortune telling, courtesy of Gemma, who offered up her talent for the good of the party.

Although Gemma wasn't too happy when she learnt that Kirk's dad Mick, had invited Chloe to the party with him, exactly what Chloe was concerned about when Mick popped to her house and asked her to come to his son's party. Chloe had told Joey, who she was teaching how to cook spaghetti bolognese for Sam, that she felt awkward going with Mick as he is Gemma's dream man. But Joey reminded her that Mick hadn't said it was a date.

However, Gemma managed to get her own back when Chloe asked for her cards to be read.
'There's no immediate romance, but interest around you', she told Chloe, who asked if she was talking about Mick?
'You'll have fun with Mich, but there's no longevity to it', said Gemma.

Afterwards Chloe sat down with Mick, who said he had enjoyed getting to know her more. He told her that when he found out she was a mum it gave him another perspective on her and it's something else they have in common. Chloe said that being a young mum had changed her as she used to be a rascal as a kid.

The party ended on a high note (?), with Mark streaking across the garden. His antics were part of a bet he lost to Arg and Amy, who they had played doubles tennis with during the day. Arg and Amy, who is the under fourteen's table tennis champion, only beat Mark and Lauren by one point when the tennis ball got lodged into Lauren's racket. The pair said it was unfair, but Mark told Lauren he couldn't pass up on a bet. Lauren said he was an embarrassment, but it cheered James right up.

The Only Way is Essex- Sam and Joey's second date

Sam took Joey on an 'adventure' of her own on last night's episode.The blonde shop owner called Joey, who answered his phone 'Yo, Yo it's Joe', to ask if he wanted to go glamping for their second date. 'What's that', he said. 'It's camping but glamorous like us', she said. 'We sharing the same tent?', he said. 'Yes'. 'The same sleeping bag?' 'If you're lucky', said Sam.

Joey made sure he packed all of his camping essentials, a hairdryer, portable fridge and a boomerang?
He picked Sam up in his tiny white Fiat, wearing orange Ugg boots and skin tight jeans, which Sam said looked liked leggings.

But Joey got a surprise when they went to collect Amy, Harry and Gemma to go glamping with them. 'He's well Jeal', said Sam. 'As long as Sam and I have one tent', he said.

The group set up camp in an open spot in the woods full of stinging nettles, but came into problems when they realised there were no toilets, a shower block, and more importantly electricity. 'Where will I plug in my hairdryer and fridge?', said Joey after claiming he could hear monkeys in the distance. 'Plug them into a tree', joked Harry.

The Mark Wright wannabee tried to redeem himself by volunteering to make a toilet for the girls and Harry. While Sam, Amy, who was dressed in a blue cocktail dress, and Gemma put up their marquee, the boys struggled to dig a 2cm hole with sticks,and gave up after Harry got a splinter.

When they returned to camp, Sam made Joey put up all of the pop-up tents and make a 'BBQ'. Around the fire the group talked about their fears. Gemma said hers is never getting married and wished Mick, Kirk's dad, would walk out of the woods and impregnant her. 'How do you spell impregnant', said Amy? Joey said he uses the sentence 'Big Elephants Can't Always Use Same Exits' to help him.
'I think you're a bit dyslexic', says Sam. 'I was as a kid but not now', he says. 'Anyway alot of clever people have it like Einstein.'

Joey then took Sam for a walk into the woods where he asked her if she would be her girlfriend. 'On one condition', she said. 'As long as you never wear those orange boots again.' He agreed.

Joey's luck was also up earlier in the week as he met Kirk and his dad to discuss about working with them and doing club nights. He boasted how well he has done with clubs in London and suggested they hold 'Ream' parties and he be the face of one of their nights. Amazingly Kirk and Mick seemed to like the idea.
