The Only Way Is Essex release date confirmed as bosses tease 'iconic' new series
TOWIE is returning later this month, and ITV has promised a series packed with "unpredictable confrontations".
The Only Way Is Essex bosses have promised "iconic moments and unpredictable confrontations" for the new series.
The iconic reality TV show will return to ITV2 and ITVX on April 26, and the broadcaster has given a hint of what to expect from the upcoming episodes.
As quoted by The Sun newspaper, Rebecca Kenny-Smith - Creative Director, Unscripted, Objective Entertainment - said: “The Only Way Is Essex never fails to surprise, and series 37 is no exception.
“Alongside the iconic moments and unpredictable confrontations fans know and love, this series goes to some genuinely unexpected places, featuring some of the most emotionally gripping footage we’ve ever put on screen.
“Our cast wear their hearts on their sleeves, and watching them navigate heartbreak, drama and their own vulnerabilities with such honesty makes for unmissable television.”
Meanwhile, insiders have teased that the new series will see feuds "reach boiling point" as the cast come together in Vietnam.
A source said: There will be plenty of drama, some unexpected feuds and tempers will flare and reach boiling point.
“If you thought the previous cast trips were fiery, then you’re in for a big surprise.
“Loyalties will be tested and it’s going to be a rollercoaster for some.”
As well as the drama, viewers will also see Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaeri back in Essex celebrating their gender reveal.
Jordan recently opened up on his battle with viral meningitis and encephalitis - a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, in which the brain becomes inflamed - amid his partner's pregnancy with their "miracle baby" after a two-year fertility battle.
And finally conceiving made Jordan - who, with the Geordie Shore star, is set to welcome their son into the world in a couple of months - determined to survive the harrowing health ordeal, which left him days from death.
He told The Sun newspaper: "We have gone to hell and back trying to have a baby, and suddenly there was a real possibility I was going to die before my son was born.
"He saved my life because becoming a father was the one thing I held onto and never forgot – even when the virus was actively changing who I was."
