I was just starting to like Mark...

TOWIE's Mark in the jungle
Oh I'm a Celebrity, you do make my nights worthwhile! From Sinitta screaming her way through every trial, to Anthony throwing a hissy fit over dinner, I'm a Celeb has become compulsive viewing.

Ant & Dec remain my favourite part of the show however, from their quips hosting the programme to their silent sarcasm when each contestant does a trial, they continue to amuse me year after year.

This year's line up got me excited too, mainly because of a very emotional TOWIE episode that saw Mark leave the show to 'find himself' only to end up in the jungle.

Yep, find himself a higher profile, find himself a new girlfriend and find himself an extortionate pay packet. Cynical, moi?!

Well before you think I'm being too tough, I was just coming round to how nice Mark was in the jungle, when a certain new arrival brought back the old laddish lought that he has become famous for.

Terrible flirting and cheesy one liners had me reaching for the sick bucket last night. If he really is serious about reinventing himself, first things first- he needs to keep it in his trousers.

You can't go confessing you still love your ex one minute and then go and put it about with a complete stranger!

Sort it out Mark, before the women of Essex start nominating you for every trial again...

Made in Chelsea: It ain't no TOWIE!

Ollie Locke from E4's Made in Chelsea
Whoever thought featuring a load of posh totty on a TV programme, billed as the anti-TOWIE, clearly doesn't have a clue.

By the third ad break I was looking desperately for something else to watch- Made in Chelsea was just blah. Literally, all fur coats and no, er substance!

The characters were all thoroughly un-likeable and although Ollie does have an uncanny knack of behaving like a posh Joey Essex, even that couldn’t save the first episode.

It could get better, but would you actually care? I will compare it to TOWIE because even E4 were shameless in the fact that they were copying this formula.

You care about Arg breaking Lydia ’s heart, you totally want Lauren to bin Mark and you absolutely think ‘Reem’ should be put in the Oxford Dictionary.

Who can honestly remember anyone’s name or storyline last night from Chelsea? My only LOL moment came when Ollie tried to deflect a relationship question by saying he loved his date’s eyebrows.

I can’t believe any of the girls are willing to be seen with men who have better hair than they do! Seriously, they were rocking some seriously long, conditioned barnets- maybe that is indeed the way in Chelsea .

As for the self absorbed twit who said Topshop was unacceptable, as was any form of high-street clothing… prepare to be loathed from here on out.

Grr! I was so unbelievably frustrated and offended by last night’s episode and yet I'm pretty certain that was not the reaction E4 were hoping for.

I think they thought the tongue-in-cheek formula of Essex would work and yet you just ended up not giving a toss about any of them, while feeling intensely jealous of their lifestyle.

Will I watch next week? Well, we’ll see if I calm down between now and then me thinks...

TOWIE Review: Oh my gawd!!

Well how good was last night's TOWIE?! Twitter was going mental for the finale of the greatest TV show of our time, and rightly so- it was a corker!

Where to begin!? How about Lydia arriving at the pool party with a male model, making Arg give their relationship one last try- only Lyd was having none of it.

Clearly it wasn't his night as Amy then laid into him for spreading rumours that they has slept together- Eeek! I really felt for him actually, because I reckon it was blown well out of proportion and everyone suddenly turned on him!

Well, it could have been worse- he could have been Mark- the biggest tit on the planet. After going back to his party throwing ways, he proceeded to ban Lauren from his pool party and invite all his friends and family instead.

Poor girl looked like she was going to cry! Thankfully she showed up at the eleventh hour, laid into her fiance for being a prat and then pushed him in the pool. I bet at this moment, women everywhere were rejoicing...I know I was.

Is this the end of the most unstable couple in Essex?! Nah, they're still together if the wrap party is anything to go by.

Anyway, in other news, Mick broke Gemma's heart (again) by heading off with Lauren's sister. The best new character to hit the Essex shores was reduced to tears by Mick's brush off. Never mind Gem you can and will do better!

Finally, I just want to pay tribute to Joey Essex. My god, what a guy! Not only was he insisting on taking his hairdryer to the pool party, but he also gave me my new mantra for life... 'Don't be jel, be reem'. Genuis.

The second vainest man in Essex has been a revelation this series, showing he's got the dress sense of a gay man combined with the hormones of a randy teenager, which makes him just hilarious to watch.

I hope his relationship with Sam continues to blossom next season and that he continues to bring us more 'Reem' parties and catchphrases.

Till the autumn, TOWIE fans....

Made in Chelsea...Blatent TOWIE rip-off?

Made in Chelsea: Copyright E4
Hello all! I'm back after my marathon blogging sesh on Friday to talk about the latest thing to catch my eye... a show called 'Made in Chelsea'.

Now my first thoughts having seen the trailer is that it's basically a posh version of 'The only way is Essex'.

Instead of vajazzling, partying at Sugar Hut and working as a glamour model, these kids are all about trust funds, polo and which designer handbag to buy next.

So far, so good- but will it be a patch on TOWIE? The thing with ITV2's cult hit, is that it's so bad, it's good.

This is the show that has made Joey Essex a star, coined the catchphrase 'Reem' and showcased Mark as someone who we fancy the pants off but would never go near.

I think I may give it a go, if only to see the guy who looks distrubingly like a girl and also see the catfight break out over some fella which has been featured numerous times on the trailer.

Check out the promo below and let me know what you think...
