THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX Series 1 Episode 8 This week we are recapping episode 8* of the TOWIE. What’s that I can see in the sky? Red smoke? That can mean only one thing a new pope has been confirmed Lauren Pope that is! We cover her BOMBSHELL arrival as well as covering the rumours and nastiness of the week. *FYI: Due to the double-bill episode we did earlier in the series, our THE ONLY WAY IS EXCUSE ME episode numbers are one behind the actual TOWIE series numbers. We like to keep you on your toes!
