Is he, or isn’t he? – THAT is the question on the lips of every Mario Falcone fan on whether the reality star will be re-joining his castmates on The Only Way is Essex when they fly out to Ibiza this month.
Mario got people guessing when he posted a picture of him at Pinewood Studios last week, so we caught up with him at the InTheStyle party where we asked him just exactly what’s going on.
He told us: “It’s not confirmed yet, I’m in talks with the show.”
Er, but you’ve been posting pictures of yourself at Pinewood Studios where the TOWIE cast are filming their promo for the new series….
Mario replied: “Yeah I’ve been doing bits [shoots at the studios] but it’s still very much… it’s not been 100 per cent decided yet. Yeah I’ve been talking to ITV, and they have been really understanding, so hopefully we can work it out that I can go back.”
So what’s the hold up?
“It’s just talks,” said Mario. “It’s just one of those things. They need to make sure my head’s in the right place and my attitude is in the right place. Obviously, like I said before, my attitude towards the show wasn’t the best so I think the time away from the show made me realise how much I am [sorry], so it’s just showing ITV that I have learnt my lesson.”
And if you’re not officially back in TOWIE, will you be out there DJ-ing anyway?
Mario added: “No I wouldn’t go.”
Hmm… it really looks like you’re filming the new TOWIE advert for Ibiza, so let us know when you get your boarding pass mate.
