Can you believe it has been 10 YEARS since The Only Way Is Essex first hit our screens! Well, if you're feeling as old as us, you'll remember the first episode where all the glitz and glam of the Essex high-street was thrust into the limelight, giving birth to some of TV's most ICONIC lines like 'vajazzle' and 'reem' and people, like Amy Childs and Samantha Faiers.
But it has now been reported that the whole squad are reuniting for the 10th anniversary of the hit ITVBe show, with fan favourite Mark Wright reportedly set to make a comeback. HURAAY!
According to Billie Faiers' husband Greg Shepherd, Mark, who is married to Michelle Keegan, has signed up and is ready to get filming.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Billie said she did not "know much about it" but Greg said, "I've heard Mark Wright is doing it - I can't envisage him going from interviewing Elton John to filming Towie, but who knows!".
And this isn't the first 'confirmation' of a TOWIE reunion as back in April, Mark's sister Jess Wright hinted it may be on the cards.
She told new! magazine, “I definitely think that would be a good idea. It would be criminal not to! We’ve all done our own thing off the back of it and got our own lives, so I think that would be great".

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.
Mark joined the TOWIE line-up back in 2010, alongside his sister, Sam and Billie Faiers, Amy Childs, Harry Derbidge, James 'Arg' Argent, Kirk Norcross, Lauren Goodger, Lauren Pope, Lucy Mecklenburgh, Lydia Bright, Maria Fowler, Mark Wright and the late Nanny Pat.
However, he left the show in 2011 to appear on I'm A Celebrity, where he came second. He then appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2014 before heading off to America where he snapped up his 'dream role' as a showbiz TV presenter for EXTRA with Mario Lopez.
This will be one hell of a reunion!
