ok.co.ukGet ready for some festive drama, Essex style! The Only Way Is Essex, which is now into its 34th series, is gearing up to treat fans with a movie-length Christmas special.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "The latest series of 'TOWIE' has been a huge hit and there has been a lot of drama. It made sense to bring back the Christmas special." Last year Ella-Rae Wise confirmed during a fan Q&A on her socials that a festive special wasn't in the schedules, for the second year in a row.
In response to a question from a follower about whether she was set to film anything, she said: "Unfortunately not this year."
