Chanelle Hayes and Jack Tweed make their rekindled romance official with romantic beachside display

By SARAH BULL

Back together... officially: Chanelle Hayes and Jack Tweed make their romance public with a romantic beachside clinch in Southend, Essex


They set tongues wagging when they stepped out together earlier this month.

And now Chanelle Hayes and Jack Tweed have made their rekindled romance official, by a display of affection on the beach.

The pair shared a romantic kiss during an outing in Southend, Essex, with Hayes's son Blakely.



Family day: The pair made the most of the sunshine as they played with Hayes's son Blakely. Hayes has said she wants to book a holiday for the three of them


Hayes and Tweed looked like a regular young family as they treated themselves to an ice-cream and had fun on the arcade games.

Earlier in the day, Hayes had tweeted fans: 'Family day out :-) xxxxx.'

Hayes looked summery in a yellow T-shirt and skinny Topshop jeans, while 10-month-old Blakely looked smart in a shirt and chinos.

The couple are thought to have started dating again in March after previously splitting in November.


Treats all round: Hayes, Tweed and even Blakely cool down with an ice-cream


She said: 'Jack’s still trying to get back with me at the moment, actually. But seeing as he’s trying to get into every other girl’s knickers at the moment, too, I’m not really that bothered.

'We’ve been on then off again too many times to mention - more than 100, anyway.'

Hayes caused controversy yesterday when she revealed that she wanted to have a gastric band fitted to drop from a size eight to a size six.


Happy together: Hayes and Tweed share a laugh as they mess around with the arcade games in Southend


In the driving seat: Hayes treats her son Blakely to a ride on an automatic fire engine


Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: ‘I’m nine stone now and a size eight, but I want to lose another stone at least and drop down to a size six.’

‘I’d have a gastric band if doctors would let me. I’ve already asked – I begged!’

It appears that the serious nature of the operation, nor the fact that at nine stone she is clearly not a suitable candidate for the dangerous procedure, is lost on Hayes.

She added: ‘There’s something called a hypno-band where they hypnotise you into thinking you’ve got a band, and I’d like to have a go at that.’


Sweet! Chanelle and Hayes are thought to have started dating again in March


You're a natural: Tweed looked every inch the doting father as he pushed Blakely along in his buggy

On the road again: After his car crash David Beckham treats the boys to ice cream

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Frozen treat: David Beckham takes sons Romeo and Cruz and the family dog Coco to Pinkberry in Studio City for frozen yoghurt


His 'lucky escape' last week from a multi-car collision on a busy Los Angeles freeway fortunately hasn't scared off David Beckham from getting behind the wheel.

The footballer was pictured taking two of his sons, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six, out for frozen yoghurt in Studio City, California yesterday.

A few hours later he chauffeured his wife Victoria to dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills.


Beckham wears his favourite black beanie for the trip to Pinkberry. Eldest son Brooklyn didn't join the boys' outing


The family dog Coco joined Beckham and the boys for the trip to Pinkberry, where they often stop off for a frozen treat.

Eldest son Brooklyn, who was with Beckham when the accident occurred on Friday, did not join the outing.


Date night: Beckham later drove his pregnant wife Victoria to dinner at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills


Mrs Beckham sat in the back seat while her husband drove to Matsuhisa - part of the Nobu franchise.

The collision happened after a gold Mitsubishi stalled in the fast lane due to mechanical problems, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.

She said: 'Yesterday at approximately 9.13am Beckham was involved with a collision on the southbound 405 Freeway just south of Artesia Boulevard.'

She added: 'The biggest commotion was when people realised it was David Beckham.'

‘David’s car was taken away from the scene by a tow truck. It had lost a front bumper in the collision.’


Scare: The footballer was involved in a collision over the weekend with son Brooklyn (pictured together in March) but both were unharmed

Brandi Glanville: 'Very Happy' To Join RHOBH

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2011/news/110523/brandi-glanville-240.jpgBrandi Glanville, the ex-wife of newlywed Eddie Cibrian, is getting her own time in the spotlight – as the newest castmate on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a source confirms.

"She really wanted to be on the show, so she's very happy," the source tells PEOPLE

Glanville, 38, had been in negotiations to join the latest installment of Bravo's hit Real Housewives franchise since earlier this year. The network was also previously in talks with singer Robbie Williams' wife, Ayda Field, a source says.

Although no official announcement has been made by Bravo, Glanville has been hinting about her new gig for weeks, coyly Tweeting on April 9: "Moving to the hills of Beverly on April 22."

Glanville joins the rest of the feisty Housewives cast – Kim and Kyle Richards; Adrienne Maloof; Lisa VanderPump; Taylor Armstrong; and Camille Grammer – who are all set to return for a second season.

So, what should fans expect in season 2? A source tells PEOPLE that Kim Richards is a more assertive presence, while her sister, Kyle, has taken a more laid-back approach this year. In addition, the entire cast has been more accepting of Grammer, who sparred endlessly with Kyle and was a source of friction in season 1.

Meanwhile, Glanville isn't exactly a stranger to drama: Starting in 2009 she was engaged in public, off-screen, feud with her ex, Cibrian, with whom she split after eight years of marriage.

She has since made peace with her ex – with whom she has two sons. Cibrian married country star LeAnn Rimes last month.

'I would love to talk to Brad and Angelina': Cher's son Chaz wants to support tomboy Shiloh

By Daily Mail Reporter


Growing up as the daughter of famous parents, Cher's son Chaz Bono knows only too well how the pressures of celebrity can complicate life.

Now the 42-year-old, who was christened Chastity, has offered to help Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with any issues their daughter Shiloh may struggle with.

The four-year-old has received attention for her tomboy style, which caused Bono to comment.

'I would love to talk to [Brad and Angelina] at some point,' Bono told E! News. 'To at least let them know we have this resource for them if they ever need it.'

Bono does volunteer work for a support group which helps children with gender identity issues and their families.

He adds: 'People get too freaked out about kids and what to do with kids. If you just let kids do what they need to do they usually have the right idea.'

Jolie - who has six children with Pitt - has previously revealed that she encourages her eldest biological child to embrace her tomboy style.

'She wants to be a boy,' she told Vanity Fair in August. 'So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers.'

Apparently coining a new fashion term, she said: 'Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style.'

'She dresses like a little dude. It's how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes [regular] suits.'

Anguish: Chaz Bono opens up to Oprah about his transition from female to male on Monday's show

'My body betrayed me': Bono told Oprah about his terrible teenage years


But Jolie made it clear she wasn't concerned, saying she sees much of her creative self in her daughter.

'Shiloh’s hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you’ll ever meet,' she says.

'Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer. I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around.'

As a child Bono was spotted regularly - all blonde locks and cutesy smile - on her parents TV show in the seventies.

But in a moving new interview, he told Oprah Winfrey that he felt his body was 'literally betraying' him when he went through puberty, as he watched in horror as it changed shape from athletic to curvy.

However he paid tribute to his 64-year-old mother by admitting: 'There's no doubt about her love for me.'

'It was just horrifying to me,' Bono said. 'You have this image of yourself and all of a sudden your body does the exact opposite of what you feel.'

Bono, who has chosen to tell his story in the documentary Becoming Chaz, which premieres tomorrow on Winfrey's OWN channel, said he first decided to become a lesbian, an identity he says 'worked for a little while'.

'I always had this idea that, sure, I wished I was a boy and felt more like a boy and all of that. But I wasn't, so I would deal with it. And I for some reason thought there were other lesbians that felt that way and that was just part of that community,' he said.

Thrilled: Bono underwent breast removal surgery as part of his sex change, but has no plans to go under the knife again


'Then I started to realise, no, that isn't what a lesbian is at all. That's what being transgender is.'

He also revealed that Cher was 'unbelievably cool' when he told her about the sex change, which involved breast removal surgery but no work on his female genitalia.

But he admitted that the legendary star started to pull away when she saw the first effects of the testosterone injections.

'When my voice started to change, I think, is when it really hit her,' he admitted to Winfrey.

He added: "The hard thing for my mom, I think, is that because she's a public figure and because she has this personality of kind of being so cool about stuff and progressive, people forget that she's a parent.'

Love: Bono says girlfriend Jennifer Elia found the change hard at first, but they're fine now

'Saying it with a deeper voice didn't mean the same': Elia struggled when her girlfriend became a man


'This is an incredibly difficult process for parents, the truth is that a lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again,' Bono explained.

Before adding with a smile: 'That's not the case in my family, there's no doubt about her love for me.'

He then revealed that Cher has come to terms with Bono's transformation, even agreeing to be interviewed for the documentary, which has ultimately, made her proud.

'She really liked it a lot,' Bono said. 'But I think it was probably hard to see.'


Proud mother: Cher and Chaz at her hand and footprint ceremony in Hollywood and, right, Chaz when he was Chastity. Cher was 'unbelievably cool' about his transformation, said Chaz


His girlfriend Jennifer Elia, whom he began dating in 2005 while still a woman, has also come to terms with the change, despite initial problems.

Bono explained: 'Saying the same things that I would have before with a deeper voice and as more of a man didn't mean the same thing to her.

'We had to really almost relearn how to communicate and how to be around each other,' he said, with Elia sitting by his side.

He also releases a book about his experience, 'Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man,' this week.

Is that really you Katie? Make-up free Miss Price looks pretty and fresh faced without her war paint

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Fresh faced: The glamour model had ditched her heavy make-up for the night out instead opting for a minimal look


She is usually a firm believer that when it comes to make-up more is more.

But as the glamour model, 32, enjoyed a night out with toy boy Leandro Penna last night she decided to hold back on the war paint, opting instead to show off her natural beauty with minimal make-up.

Katie, was enjoying a night out with beau and her friend, makeup artist Gary Cockerill, in Soho and the group visited Balans bar in the area for the evening out.

Katie was dressed in a pair of tight jeans and wore an off-the-shoulder cream knitted jumper which emphasised her extremely dark tan.

Lovebirds: Katie and Leandro enjoyed a night out in Soho with Katie's friend Gary but didn't dress up for the evening


The mother-of-three had her bleached locks loose around her shoulders and added a flash of colour with bright pink nails.

Leandro, 26, was dressed in a grey jumper and ripped grey jeans and appeared extremely protective of Katie as he tightly held her hand and ushered her into their car as they ended for home at the end of their evening.

Toned down: We are more used to seeing Katie with a full face of makeup as seen at her novel launch last year compared with her fresh-faced look last night


And it was at this point she became snap happy playing up to the paparazzi and turned her own camera on them.

Katie picked up a camera after working out how to take pictures on it to try her photography skills out for size.

She wound down the window of the car and snapped a few shots of the photographers as they took pictures of her.

Snap happy: Katie played photographer last night as she turned her own camera on waiting photographers on a night out with Leandro and friend Gary

So no upcoming nuptials? Katie got to grips with the camera and appeared ring free, after wearing a large ring on her engagement finger last week


Katie had sparked rumours, albeit spoken with a helping of scepticism, that she and Leandro were engaged when she wore a huge ring on her engagement finger at a book signing last week.

But while she was ring-free at the event she kept her new tattoo, which she had completed on her most recent visit to South America, under the sleeve of her jumper.

Well if it ain't broke: Carol Vorderman squeezes into her favourite Roland Mouret dress

By Daily Mail Reporter


Wiggle: Carol Vorderman strutted in her extremely tight Roland Mouret Galaxy dress


She told the Daily Mail last year that when she wears her favourite figure-hugging dress, it gets her in the papers.

One wonders if this if what Carol Vorderman had in mind when she trotted out her tried-and-tested Roland Mouret Galaxy dress yesterday for an evening out in London.

It seems a case of 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' for the 50-year-old as stepped out the frock, which undeniably flatters her curves.


The TV presenter has been spotted in the outfit on a number of occasions, and last night showed off her enviable hourglass figure to perfection as she met girlfriend Michelle Mone and Yvie Burnett for drinks at Scott's in Mayfair.

She teamed the dress, a favourite of Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Scarlett Johansson and Rachel Weisz when it hit stores in 2005, with towering nude heels.

She told the Daily Mail: 'I bought it when it first came out, and years later I still make it into the papers when I wear it.

Girls on the town: Carol enjoyed drinks at Scott's in Mayfair with Michelle Mone and Yvie Burnett


'Having been on Count­down for so long, I learnt to gather classic pieces that could be mixed and matched easily.'

Carol sticks to her winning formula of body-skimming designer dresses by Roland Mouret, Herve Leger and Victoria Beckham.

She says: 'They’re not cheap, but I can still wear them years later without looking dated. It’s simple Forties styling.

Catch up: The TV presenter and lingerie mogul greeted each other warmly


'Above the knee is fine if you’re in your 20s, but I don’t feel it’s overly appropriate at my age.'

It's advice her friend, Yvie Burnett does not appear to agree with.

The X Factor vocal coach wore a short hot pink dress with towering spiked Christian Louboutin heels for the girls night out - but did stick to the 'legs or cleavage' rule by keeping her upper half covered up.

Ultimo boss Michelle Mone was slightly more casual in dark jeans and a T-shirt with patent black heels.

If it ain't broke: The 50-year-old admits the dress, which she was wearing to events as far back as 2005, is a tried-and-tested favourite

Curves on show: Carol also favours Victoria Beckham frocks


Elegant: She says of her style, 'Above the knee is fine if you’re in your 20s, but I don’t feel it’s overly appropriate at my age'

Nene Leakes may have left Celebrity Apprentice in dramatic fashion on Sunday night’s show, but she showed no signs of hostility when she was snapped in West Hollywood just hours later.

The ever-dramatic Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member looked exceedingly chipper as the paps caught her chatting on the phone while out shopping West Hollywood.

Cheryl Cole makes a fashion faux pas in unflattering grey tracksuit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Is that you, Cheryl? Ms Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in a grey tracksuit as she flew back to the UK


She was obviously thinking she'd go for comfort ahead of her long-haul flight back to the UK.

But Cheryl Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in an unflattering grey tracksuit as she left the U.S. and headed back to London.

The 27-year-old singer hid her petite frame in the unattractive zip top and jogging bottoms combination.


Not a good look: Cheryl teamed the tracksuit with a pair of heeled boots


And the only hint of Cheryl's now-renowned sense of style came with the black boots she teamed the outfit with, as well as her designer white handbag.

But Cheryl seemed happy enough with her outfit, keeping her head down but managing a smile for photographers as she made her way through Los Angeles' LAX Airport.


In disguise: Cheryl tried to go incognito in a pair of huge sunglasses


And it's no wonder the singer is smiling, as she has won rave reviews already for her part on X Factor USA.

Cheryl flew out to LA the day after it was announced that she would be joining the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and LA Reid.


Can't you see anything? Cheryl, who was wearing dark sunglasses, is guided through the airport


Glamour girl: Cheryl's dressed-down look was in sharp contrast to her appearance at the X Factor USA auditions last week


And while Cheryl's involvement in the show has already been a success, she met criticism from some viewers when she sat next to Simon on the panel - the seat usually reserved for Paula Abdul.

An insider told MailOnline: 'The fans are angry because Cheryl is sitting next to simon.

'They call Paula and Simon "Saula" and think that Cheryl is splitting them up.'

Emma Watson shows why she was named world's best-dressed woman

By SARAH BULL

Spellbinding: Emma Watson looked stunning in a monochrome dress as she left the Ritz Hotel in Paris


She was named the world's best-dressed woman earlier this month, and it's not hard to see why.

Emma Watson showed exactly why she beat stars including Cheryl Cole and Kate Moss to the top of Glamour magazine's survey as she stepped out in Paris yesterday showing off her enviable figure in a frilly minidress.

The 21-year-old actress looked stunning in the monochrome dress, which she teamed with slicked back hair and a pair of sky-high heels while leaving the Ritz Hotel in Paris.


Fashionista: Emma showed off her enviable figure in the flirty outfit, which she teamed with on-trend slicked back hair


Emma has worked hard to transform herself from innocent young actress into a world-famous fashionista, but her status was secured earlier this year when she won a job with cosmetics house
Lancôme.

In a statement released by Lancôme, Emma said: 'Being a Lancôme ambassadress today is an immense pleasure and a great honour.

'For me, Lancôme is an authentic brand. It reflects elegance, class and style.'


Who's your friend? Emma shared a joke with one of the hotel staff as she headed out for the evening


In February, she was handed the Elle Style Icon award by Vivienne Westwood, who admitted to having no idea who the actress was.

Watson also launched an eco-friendly collection with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti, a line called Pure Threads by Emma Watson.

NeNe: Celebrity Apprentice Was 'Toxic' for Me

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2009/news/091123/nene-leakes-240.jpgNeNe Leakes never had second thoughts about quitting Celebrity Apprentice. It all just got to be too much, she says.

"I don't regret it. I felt very good about it. I always do what my gut tells me to do," the Real Housewives of Atlanta star says in an interview airing Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

She adds: "I'm a grown woman, and nobody makes decisions for me. I make my own decisions. It was a toxic situation for me."

Particularly poisonous, of course, was her feud with Star Jones. In an episode two weeks ago, Leakes unloaded on Jones in front of a client, then walked off the show. She doesn't regret that either, but admits it didn't need to get that ugly.

"I needed to get it out," she says. "I wish I could have maybe had a different delivery, maybe better word choices, but I'm OK with it. I felt she deserved it. I know everybody in Hollywood knows I'm telling the truth [about Jones]."

Of course, things evened out this past week, when Donald Trump fired Jones. "When I said on the show yesterday that Star got fired, there were applauses in the audience," says DeGeneres. "People were thrilled that Star got fired."

To which Leakes replies: "Yeah, let's clap about it."

Taylor Armstrong & Hubby Secretly Separate

http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/41038-real-housewives-taylor-armstrong-hubby-secretly-separate/1305064995_armstrong-290.jpgTaylor Armstrong has finally left her icy husband, Russell.

A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has secretly separated from her banker husband of seven years.

"They've had huge marital problems related to finances," the insider says of the pair, who were seen together with daughter Kennedy, 5, at a May 7 Lollipop Theater Network event in Burbank, Calif.

The couple's marital problems are nothing new: Bravo viewers watched them bicker constantly during the show's first season, and Taylor even likened their marriage to a business arrangement.

Still, the recent split is taking a physical toll on Taylor. "She's emaciated -- down 10, 15 pounds," a source tells Us.

The Real Housewives drama doesn't end there. New cast member Brandi Glanville, 38 -- Eddie Cibrian's ex -- and Kyle Richards, 42, have been "going at it" since filming began on season 2. "They got into a fight and Brandi lunged at Kyle," a source says. "They had to be separated by producers."

Bethenny 'Laying Low' After Emotional Season

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2011/news/110523/bethenny-frankel-240.jpgThe season finale of Bethenny Ever After was Monday night – and now Bethenny Frankel says it's time to take it easy.

"I love the show, I'm proud of it," Frankel told PEOPLE at the National Magazine Awards on Monday. "It's been a very emotional, intense season. But we're starting filming in July for season 3, and I need the hiatus."

She recouped with husband Jason Hoppy at the Viceroy Anguilla for two weeks after filming, she said, and since then has been trying to slow down. "I have really checked out of my own life a lot," the reality star, 40, said. "I'm laying low. I really hit the wall going 90 miles an hour."

Frankel celebrated her daughter Bryn Casey's first birthday a day early at Dylan's Candy Bar in New York Saturday with "a big celebration." Then she had a relaxing Mother's Day, which was exactly what she wanted.

Despite rumors that they might be moving to L.A,, Frankel says her family is staying put for now. "It's an ongoing conversation but I have a business opportunity that will keep me in New York, so I don't think that I can move to L.A."

She and Hoppy plan on spending a relaxing summer in New York exploring their neighborhood.

"We've only lived downtown for a year, so we keep finding new pockets," she said. "Jason and I like to walk around, find new restaurants, sit outside, have sangria or SkinnyGirl margaritas. We just like to venture out. New York is such an amazing place so we like to find new little outdoor cafes to hang out."

OC Vicki Tells Brandi Glanville To "Be Careful"

http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Vicki+Gunvalson+137th+Kentucky+Derby+Arrivals+EaZXjzLMQ_wl.jpgReal Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has strong words for Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of LeAnn Rimes’ husband Eddie Cibrian, who is joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Be careful,” she tells me at the Mint Jubilee Celebration surrounding the Kentucky Derby. “It’s not all glamour. You’re going to shed some real tears. You’re going to see people hurt you that you never thought could hurt you before. I think she’s in for a rude awakening. It’s not all fun at times, but the experiences have been that of a lifetime. I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s been great.”

Hm, what does he think of her Beverly Hills counterparts?

“I met all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and they were lovely ladies,” she says. “It’s interesting that they would throw another franchise in the same one-hour distance from us, but we’re very different in regards to lifestyle and money. I mean, I wish I had their money. I don’t. We’re more of the middle-class of California, whereas they’re absolutely the upper class. I think that the viewers like California, they like the lifestyle, they like the color scheme, and both of our shows are being a hit because of that.”

Vicki, who debuted on the show in 2007, confesses that her portion of the reality show is as real as it gets.

“I just know my story’s all true. I don’t know what the other girls are doing. This is a reality TV show, and I feel like a lot of it is being lost in this pre-thinking about what we’re going to film. I don’t do that; my life is my life. When I cry, I cry real tears. When I laugh, I’m woo-hooing. I don’t know what the other women are up to; I stay focused on myself, my career, my family, and I try to do the right thing.”

What misconceptions could she clear up about herself?

“I think people love me or hate me,” she says.  “There’s no middle of the road. I’m lucky today at the Oaks, I had so many people come up and cry and say I’ve given them inspiration as a woman, and taught them good work ethic. They complimented me on being a good mother. If there’s anything negative, I don’t hear it. I try to stay away from the blogs and the bad things. I think the bad would be that I’m insensitive and I’m too hard, but I’m not. I’m compassionate and caring about other people. I give back to our community, and I love my work and my family. If that’s what makes me a bad person, then so be it.”

Loose Women meet loose women...as TOWIE's Billie and Sam Faiers give verdicts on rival show Made In Chelsea

By Jody Thompson


Partners in crime: Sam Faiers and sister Billie were on Loose Women today - and Billie gave her verdict on rival reality show Made In Chelsea


They're two of ITV's most-loved shows - and it was definitely a meeting of minds when Loose Women hosted sisters Sam and Billie Faiers from The Only Way Is Essex today.

The pair were on the show as fans still mourn last week's TOWIE series finale - and Billie gave her verdict on Channel Four's new posh version of the show.

Talking to show hosts Carol McGiffin, Andrea McLean, Cilla Black and Denise Welch, she said of last night's Made In Chelsea: 'The set up is very similar to The Only Way Is Essex, but it's completely different.

Scroll down to meet the cast of Made In Chelsea...


'The characters are so posh, their accents and everything! I couldn't stop laughing watching it.'

Meanwhile, her TOWIE co-star Amy Childs was even more dismissive of the show on her Twitter account. She said: 'These people need vajazzles and the ompa lumpa tans ....Turned off o dear. yawn xxxx'

As for being on Loose Women, it was a television show that got the thumbs up from the Faiers sisters.

Billie wrote on her Twitter afterwards: 'Loved being on loose women this morning !! Was great !! So glad they loved their goody bags from @MinniesBoutique!! Xx'

Reality stars: The sisters run their own business Minnie's Boutique as well as appearing on TOWIE


The sisters had given the four presenters goody bags from their new venture Minnie's - and were photographed with them afterwards.

The Faiers sisters also confirmed again that their dream customer at their new clothes shop would be Kate Middletopn, the new Duchess of Cambridge.

Sam said: 'Obviously, we're the complete opposite, we're Essex girls with an Essex boutique, and she's like royalty, but we've got some nice evening wear that she'd like.'

Billie revealed that their shop was now on the hen party trail too.

Goodie bags all round: Sam posted up a pic of herself and her sister giving Denise Welch, Andrea McLean, Carol McGiffin and Cilla Black gifts from their shop Minnie's Boutique


She said: 'In our shop we get loads of like people from up north, Scotland, lots of groups of girls coming down on hen weekends, they're coming in Minnie's then going up Sugar Hut that night.'

However, she mused: 'We have more fans out of Essex than we do in Essex, definitely.'

The second series of TOWIE finished last week with a raucous pool party, several bust-ups and plenty of chances to see Mark Wright’s he-vage.

Sam then immediately flew off to Mallorca for a few days holiday with new boyfriend Joey Essex.

With Sam in a bright pink bikini and Joey in multi-coloured swimming shorts, the pair could barely keep their hands off each other as they relaxed on the beach.

She then tweeted two pictures from the couple's short break, one of a heart in the sand containing both her and Essex's initials, and one of the pair grinning for the camera with their arms around one another.

Essex told his Twitter followers yesterday: 'Landed, wish I was still in spain! Was roasting this morning!!! :('

TOWIE is due back on our screens later this year.

Made In Chelsea meanwhile, which follows west London socialite Caggie Dunlop and her group of friends, is on this Monday at 10pm on E4.
