A DECADE ago there was no such thing as the vajazzle, nobody said “Reem” and if somebody screamed “Shut up!” in your face you’d have been shocked.
That was until Towie — The Only Way is Essex — burst on to our screens in 2010 and a group of unknown young wannabes became household names.
From the minute it was screened on ITV2, it turned into telly gold, initially focusing on the shocking aftermath of Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger’s break-up.
Fans soon became obsessed. Mark’s sister Jessica, mum Carol and Nanny Pat also featured, along with his mate James “Arg” Argent and his on-off girlfriend Lydia Bright.
