TOWIE gang in The Only Way is Marbs

Once a docile and peaceful Spanish city, Marbella is now a Mecca for the fake-tanned, the vajazzled and the stiletto clad. In other words, it's the holiday destination of choice for the cast of The Only Way Is Essex and this year, the lovely folks at ITV2 are also inviting us along.

OK so we may not actually be sunbathing with Joey Essex and sipping cocktails with Lauren Goodger, but ITV2's The Only Way Is Marbs, will follow the TOWIE crew's every move as they soak up the sun on the island.

We have a feeling this isn't going to be your average relaxing holiday though... We're thinking The Only Way Is Marbs will be Benidorm with more booze and less clothes. Hurray, I can hardly wait!

What's more, we've got our sneaky mitts on some snaps from the show, which is set to hit our screens on Wednesday 13 June.

Mario and Lucy look rather loved-up in the above snap and they can be seen canoodling on a yacht which is bigger than most houses. To say we're 'well-jeal' is an understatement - how did the TOWIE crew get so minted?!

Meanwhile, it seems the Lydia and Arg love saga (which is more dramatic than Twilight) is finally over as Lydia is seen in the snap above getting rather cosy with Tom. The pair can be seen holding hands while sipping on exotic-looking cocktails. Is it the real-deal though or just a holiday romance?

You can watch The Only Way Is Marbs on Wednesday 13 June on ITV2 at 22:00
