Glamour girl Sam Faiers is one of the original core cast of the smash hit ITV living soap The Only Way is Essex. The show started in October 2010, with Sam all secretly smitten with sleazy nightclub owner Mark. Trouble is…his girlfriend Lauren. Sam became one of the biggest stars on the show, at the centre of her very own TOWIE love triangle. After admitting to bedding love rat Mark, she was bombarded by abusive Tweets from Lauren’s fans.

After Mark proposed to Lauren, despite admitting feelings for Sam, she’s since moved on to another nightclub promoter and TOWIE star, Joey Essex. He half-proposed to her in June 2011 and she was spotted around town wearing a blingin’ promise ring, but they subsequently split the following month.

Since the show began, Sam’s modelling offers have been rolling in and she’s now a Star columnist too. She also runs an Essex fashion store with her older sister Billie, called Millie’s Boutique.

The Only Way Is Essex, is a British semi-reality ("dramality") show based in Essex, England. It shows "real people in modified situations, saying unscripted lines but in a structured way."

The show is filmed just a few days in advance. Series 1 ran initially for four weeks, airing every Wednesday and Sunday. It is narrated by Denise Van Outen, who is from Basildon, Essex. The show has been described by the Daily Mirror as Britain’s answer to The Hills and Jersey Shore. Series 2 began on 20 March 2011, once again airing every Wednesday and Sunday, but with longer episodes than Series 1. Series 2 also saw the departure of original cast member Amy Childs. The second series consisted of 14 episodes, ending on 4 May 2011. The series returned for a third series on 25 September 2011 and was the final series to feature two of the original cast members Mark Wright whose departure was seen in the final episode whilst Kirk Norcross departed off screen like Childs. The series ended on 9 November 2011. On 29 November 2011 Mario Falcone explained to RWD Magazine that TOWIE is "...just getting bigger and bigger, you sort of hate it but you love it."

On 2 December 2011 it was revealed that a large amount of the cast would not be returning for the fourth series in 2012 but will feature in the upcoming 2011 Christmas Special. The second Christmas Special of The Only Way Is Essex will air on 20 December 2011 and a fourth series will begin In January 2012. Digital Spy is reporting that the series has been renewed for a further four seasons following the Christmas Special and will air four 10-episode runs in 2012.
