Great news TOWIE fans – the ITV reality show has apparently had its contract renewed for another SIX series!
Not such great news if you’re fed up of the sight of that lot…
According to The Sun, The Only Way Is Essex will run until at least 2017, with ITV believing the show is “as important as Coronation Street.”
More news!
Derek McLean, from makers Lime Pictures, said: “We are so thrilled to announce we have been commissioned for six more series of TOWIE. It is not only the leading show for ITVBe, it is a huge priority for ITV in general.
“We want TOWIE to become an ongoing, real-life soap opera. It is just as important to ITVBe as* Coronation Street* or Emmerdale are to ITV.”
The Essex gang are currently in Marbella filming their annual spin-off show The Only Way Is Marbs, which is due to hit our TV screens 14 June.
