TOWIE Spoilers: Look who’s back! It’s Gemma Collins, Lauren Goodger and Mario Falcone

Ho ho bo(tox) - The Only Way Is Essex returns with a festive special, The Only Way Is Essexmas.

And three very familiar faces have returned for the festive special, what a Christmas treat.

First up there’s Essex’s unofficial queen, Gemma Collins.

She’ll be hanging out with FITLORDS Peter Wicks, James Lock and Bobby Norris, lucky GC, and getting all the goss on who they’ll be kissing under the mistletoe.

If there are lips going spare, lads…. Just a thought.

Elsewhere in Essex, Lauren actual Goodger strolls back into TOWIE.

Lauren who is looking hot Hot HAWT, even without the benefit of an Instagram filter, books herself into Chloe Sims’ salon for a bit of festive pampering. Where, for some reason, she ends up giving relationship advice to Danni Armstrong. Like sure, whatever.

And someone (cough) Gemma (cough) seems to have advised Pete and Lockie to travel to Scotland to gatecrash Danni and Jess Wright’s Christmas break.

This is the ladies’ reaction:

And this is the lads’:

LOL.

And move over all other bad boys (err… oh yeah, Lewis Bloor, more on him in a minute), Mario Falcone is back. And giving baby Nellie a present.

Grrr, he’s bad.

So, Lewis then. After the SHOCK revelation at the end of the last series that he’d smooched Jess, he finds himself an Essex outcast.

And Carole Wright tells him, rather wonderfully:

We have so much love for Carole Wright. And very little for ‘orrible Lewis. But we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt (again) because CHRISTMAS.

The Only Way Is Essexmas is on ITVBe at 10pm on Wednesday 16 December.

Gemma Collins is rumoured to be heading into Celebrity Big Brother in January. Here's all the rumours we've heard:
