Mark Wright in 2011
Other than being an immediate TOWIE heartthrob, he also used to model early on in his career.
THE GLOW UP - Mark Wright now
Not a major change but the most noticeable thing is that widow's peak, it completely vanished, hair transplant maybe? - He is now happily married to Michelle Keegan. He is actually doing really well for himself (go on Mark!), he has his own radio show, he used to be the face of Take Me Out: The Gossip and he ventured across the bond, and he works with Mario Lopez on Extra.

This is what he looked like 6 years ago...
THE GLOW UP - James Argent now
Here he is on Loose Women just a few days ago, he pretty much still looks the same minus the hair change, it's now flung to the back rather than the side. Following his break-up from his on screen love, Lydia Bright, he took sometime off from TOWIE but now he is back!
Lydia Bright in 2011
Lydia opened her own boutique as soon as she joined TOWIE. She left TOWIE after major drama with co-stars James Argent and Gemma Collins.

Sam Faiers in 2010
Quintessential Essex glamour is the best way to describe this picture but she definitely wins the best glow up...

She 100% glowed up the most. Her life changed drastically since she first appeared on TOWIE. After leaving the show, she became a mother to baby Paul and baby Rosie. She followed Amy Childs' footsteps and joined Celebrity Big Brother and she has her own show The Mummy Diaries. You go girl.
Kirk Norcross in 2010
He is a TOWIE original. He left the show 3 years after first appearing on our TV screens.
THE GLOW UP - Kirk Norcross now
Not much has changed, except a couple of wrinkles here and there - yikes. To be fair, he is a dad to 2 children now, looks like he doesn't get much sleep now a days. Oh, he is also an author now.
Maria Fowler in 2011
She had a very short time on TOWIE after she was dubbed "just a f***ing extra" by Kirk - harsh af right?
THE GLOW UP - Maria Fowler now
We use the term 'Now" very loosely with Maria, this picture is from early 2017 - that's because we can't find any recent pics as she is keeping it on the down low. We do know that is she is a makeup artist now, at least she is doing something.
However, Amy’s former TOWIE co-star Chloe Sims has spilled the beans and revealed Amy’s partner is actually her ex-boyfriend Ritchie.
“I had a shock when I saw pictures of her with him when I was 18!,” Chloe wrote in Star mag column.
“His name’s Ritchie and he used to live next door to my cousins Frankie and Joey. But I haven’t seen him in years.”
Awks. Essex seems to be getting smaller and smaller these days.
In other reality TV news, Love Island'sChris Hughes is now reportedly dating Made In Chelsea's Emily Blackwell.
She recently confirmed the reports to The Sun, saying: “Chris is an amazing guy.
“It's early days but yeah. We'll see. He's great guy, an amazing guy.
