Brace yourselves, TOWIE fans! Your favourite glam Essex set is shaking things up with a brand-new series, and guess what? They’ve ditched the grey skies of the UK for the vibrant beaches of Bali! It’s all going down – sun, drama, and cocktails included.

Picture this: palm trees, sandy beaches, and the TOWIE cast causing a ruckus in the heart of Bali. Within days of landing at the sun-soaked Balinese resort, the TOWIE crew is plunged into a whirlwind of drama as Dan and Ella ignite an unexpected romance, catching everyone off guard. Fresh from his split with Amber, the sudden union sends seismic shockwaves through the group, leaving jaws on the floor. The burning question resonates: how will Amber respond to this unforeseen twist? Will she question Dan’s loyalty during their time together, and will the pairing reignite long-buried rumours of Dan and Ella? Will Amber also find herself questioning with her feelings towards Ella, especially after recently becoming civil again following years of animosity?

In another corner of Bali, the question looms: how will Diags and Elma navigate the aftermath of their explosive fallout from the last series? With Jodie’s imminent arrival adding to the tension, will the pair finally be able to draw a line in the sand… for now?

Meanwhile, Harry finds himself firmly entrenched in the “Girlband” as its official fifth member – a camaraderie he couldn’t have anticipated just over a year ago. However, the newfound friendship leaves Saff and Dani feeling a tad bitter, sensing that Harry’s attention has shifted towards his new companions.

Back in Essex there is a surprise waiting… a familiar face ready to add a dash of spice back to the group – none other than the OG herself, Lauren Goodger! Brace yourselves for the queen’s return, set to reignite that iconic TOWIE sass. Can Amy and Junaid catch Lauren up on all the drama before the Bali crew lands back in the UK?

With this series promising more drama than ever, fans can anticipate a line-up of sizzling moments, scandalous feuds, and unexpected alliances that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Director of Programming, Unscripted, Lime Pictures said: “We’re thrilled to announce the return of The Only Way Is Essex for series 33, kicking off with sun-soaked and drama-packed episodes in the picturesque setting of Bali. Brace yourselves for plenty of laughter, tears, and romance in this stunning location. Get ready to witness storylines unfold at a dizzying pace, and the stellar cast bare their souls beneath the tropical skies.”

The Only Way Is Essex is made by Lime Pictures and has been recommissioned by ITV’s Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ITVBe & CITV, and Amanda Stavri, Commissioning Editor, Reality.
