The Only Way is Essex is set to make a thrilling comeback on ITVBe this Sunday, promising fans an extra dose of drama.
In the first episode, the TOWIE gang are off to Cyprus for a sun-soaked holiday, marking the first time they’ve all been together since last season’s explosive finale.
The previous series ended in chaos at Harry Derbidge’s 30th birthday bash when he and boyfriend Joe Blackman had a heated argument with ex-friends Ella Rae Wise and Freddie Bentley. The rest of the cast had to step in as insults were hurled across the room. So, what can viewers look forward to this season with the ever-changing friendships and turbulent relationships?

Have Harry Derbidge and Joe Blackman called it quits?
Rumours are swirling that Harry and Joe have split up, and the dramatic trailer seems to confirm this.
Harry was seen pouring his heart out to cousin Amy Childs, revealing that Joe said he “just wanted to be mates”.
Reports suggest that Harry’s long-time friend Junaid Ahmed could be the reason behind the split, as he’s now reportedly dating Joe.
Harry has since blocked both Joe and Junaid on Instagram, adding fuel to the rumours.
Dan Edgar and Ella Rae Wise romance
They spent most of the last series looking smitten before abruptly ending their budding romance earlier this year.
Ella dished to The Sun: “When we got home from Bali and when we’d finished filming, I’d still see him and we were pretty close. But it did get to the part where communication was lost massively and we were playing things down so much and not actually being 100 per cent truthful with our feelings.”
But hold onto your hats, folks it seems there might be a rekindling on the horizon as Ella and her beau turned up the heat in the latest teaser. Is this the moment for a romantic rerun?

Last series saw Harry and Ella’s friendship hit the rocks after Harry blabbed to Amber Turner about Ella’s secret smooch with her ex Dan, leaving Ella fuming over what she saw as a betrayal.
Despite their efforts to patch things up, tensions exploded at Harry’s birthday bash with a full-blown row. Ahead of the upcoming series, Ella didn’t mince her words in a fresh chat: “I do feel like I’m owed a massive apology from Harry”.
Can these two bury the hatchet once and for all?
Sammy Root hits TOWIE town
The Only Way Is Essex is no stranger to Love Island alumni making waves on the show, with names like Nathan Massey, Cara Delahoyde, Jon Clark, and Olivia Attwood gracing the scene.
Now, Sammy Root is set to stir things up, having been caught on camera with the TOWIE crew.
He was seen mingling with the likes of Roman Hackett and Elma Pazar while shooting at Aura Bar and Grill in Loughton. Will Sammy be just passing through, or is he gearing up to be the newest face on the block?
