TOWIE stars booze on the beach

TOWIE stars have reportedly ignored orders not to get drunk while filming the show's summer special in Marbella.

Jessica Wright, James Argent, Sam Faiers, Lauren Goodger and Joey Essex were among the 20 stars who have flown out to the Spanish resort for some fun in the sun and Billie Faiers revealed they hit the bar before they had even left the airport.

She tweeted: "Ohh noooo... We are already tipsy and not even on the plane yet!! Let the fun and games begin!!!"

TOWIE producers gave the reality TV stars a strict set of rules for the summer special before they left, The Sun reports, over concerns they would cause chaos filming the show while on holiday.

They were apparently banned from drinking the night before filming, as well as using drugs, fighting and trashing hotel rooms.

But as soon as they arrived they headed straight to Pangea in Puerto Banus where they reportedly downed drinks, smoked shisha pipes and inhaled helium from balloons.

However, the Essex party animals have not been late for filming yet.
