Livvy Jay, Ella Rae Wise, and Danni Imbert turned heads on Saturday while filming the new season of TOWIE in Vietnam alongside the rest of the cast.
For this year’s international episode, ITV has moved away from the typical filming locations of Marbella and Tenerife, opting for a more exotic setting to offer viewers something different.
The actors and actresses looked fantastic as they showed up to film some nighttime scenes at the JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort.
Livvy turned heads in a tight-fitting black dress that showed off her figure and a hint of her toned stomach with a daring cutout.
Ella turned heads in a revealing black dress. The dress featured a lace bodice with corset-like detailing that accentuated her small waist.
Danni made a striking entrance in a blue halterneck dress. The dress featured a revealing keyhole cutout and showcased her tanned skin.
Elma Pazar turned heads in a short dress with a leopard and rose pattern, and her twirl showed off its daringly low back.
Harry Derbidge dressed for the event in a stylish but unusual combination: a black satin waistcoat paired with cropped jogging bottoms and leather loafers.
James Bennewith, known as ‘Diags,’ seemed cheerful and prepared to begin filming, sporting a patterned linen shirt and cream-colored trousers.
Dan Edgar quickly joined him, along with Will Childs, a rising star who is Harry’s cousin and Amy Childs’ brother.
Dan dressed casually for the evening in a simple cream T-shirt and green pants. Will chose a similar style, wearing a black shirt with his pants.
Jodie Wells showed off her legs in a short, green wrap skirt. She paired it with a pale pink crop top that revealed a lot of skin.
Courtney Green turned heads with a bold zebra-print outfit, showcasing her figure in an off-the-shoulder crop top and a long, matching skirt.
Junaid Ahmed and his boyfriend, Joe Blackman, matched outfits with a golf theme, each wearing a polo shirt and white shorts.
The couple looked very affectionate as they arrived, pausing for photos and a quick kiss.
Freddie Bentley soon joined them, wearing cut-off denim shorts and a sleeveless white vest.
Following a report in The Sun, a new group of young adults, aged 18 and 19, are joining the show’s cast to bring a fresh perspective.
According to a source, The Only Way Is Essex has historically featured younger cast members to appeal to its audience and fit the show’s channel, ITV2.
New cast members are joining the show and are expected to bring a lot of excitement, especially after last season focused on the series’ beginnings and welcomed back Lauren Goodger.
People who fondly recall the old days of Sugar Hut and the ‘no carbs before Marbs’ lifestyle might find the show’s new location in Vietnam a bit of a change.
Some of the original cast members from the very first series of the show in 2010, like Amy Childs and Lauren Goodger, weren’t present in Vietnam.
According to a source, Lauren Goodger and Amy Childs won’t be traveling to Vietnam to participate in this season of the show.
Even though there was talk of them joining the group later, they’ve decided not to come on the trip at all.
Lauren really enjoyed the trip to Portugal last year, but both she and Amy are currently tied up with work.
This season, the show is focusing on the younger cast members for the international trip. While Lauren and Amy will still be involved, they’ve chosen to remain in Essex this time around.
According to a source, Amy and Lauren won’t be joining the rest of the cast on location. Filming will continue both abroad with the main cast and in Essex with Amy and Lauren, promising plenty of drama as usual.
‘When the cast go on abroad trips, it’s storyline dependent, so they try to get the right mix.’
Three contestants have reportedly left the ITV reality show, including Roman Hackett. Hackett announced in December that he was leaving after four years to pursue new career opportunities.
Chloe Meadows, a cast member for nine years, is reportedly planning a break from the show and won’t be returning for the upcoming 37th season.
A source revealed to The Sun late last year that Chloe feels ready for a short break from the show and won’t be participating in the next season.
I’m absolutely gutted, but I get it. She’s poured her heart and soul into TOWIE for ages and honestly, she deserves to explore other things she’s passionate about. She’s still a huge part of the show, which is amazing, but it’s clear she’s got other dreams she wants to chase, and I’m so excited for her to do that! I’ll miss seeing her constantly, but I fully support her going after everything she wants.
She’s exploring other options in the performing arts, but that doesn’t mean she’s ruling anything out for the future.
According to a source, show executives considered Chloe a popular and entertaining part of the series, having brought a lot of enjoyment to viewers over the years.
They assured her she’d be happily welcomed back if she chose to return, and that her colleagues would definitely miss her.
Sammy Root, a contestant on the 2024 season of Love Island, won’t be returning for the next season, following a mutual decision with show producers.
A source told The Sun in December that the next season of TOWIE will have a lot of changes, and some of the current cast members won’t be returning.
Sammy met with the show’s executives to discuss his role, and they both decided it was best for him not to return right now.
Sammy is leaving to pursue other projects, and the show’s writers felt his story had reached a natural conclusion. However, there’s a possibility he could return later on.
