The cast of jetted to Portugal last week and are filming scenes in the Algarve for the hotly anticipated 36th series – a special one, as the show celebrates its 15th anniversary this year.

 

Amy is joined by fiance Billy and their kids for the Towie away trip.

The ITVBe work trip comes amid a tough time for Amy, who recently revealed her nuptials with fiance Billy Delbosq have been scrapped for now.

Mum of four Amy, 34, who first postponed her specialI Do day following her engagement in 2023, has again pushed back plans due to her mum's poor health.

She has addressed rumours her weight loss is down to "fat jabs", finally opening up about her extreme weight loss, which has seen her shed two stone.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: "People don’t know what is going on behind closed doors.

“I’m going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly.

“She’s very emotional – she thinks she’s going to have another heart attack.

“People think I’m not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I’m a bit heavier than I am at the moment.

There’s so much going on at the minute – it’s the result of pure stress."

Addressing fans who had speculated she had used medication to shed the pounds she said: “I just want to be clear that, as I’ve said before, I’m not using weight-loss injections."

Towie, one of ITVX’s most streamed titles with 66 million streams in the last 12 months, ended on an explosive high earlier this year.

Series 35 came to an end last month, with the fate of some cast members hanging in the balance after a particularly emotional few months.

Fans will pick up where they left off when the BAFTA winning show returns later this year.

The drama is set to unfold against the backdrop of golden beaches, secluded coves and turquoise waters as the Essex crew navigate the trials and tribulations of their relationships and rivalries.  

Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Creative Director, Unscripted, Objective Entertainment said: “This is Towie’s first trip to Portugal and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable getaway! 

 

"We’re anticipating lots of Towie antics in the Algarve and what better way to celebrate the milestone 15th anniversary. It’s fantastic to start the new series with a burst of sunshine and then we’re back in Essex for more drama.”

Series 36 also marks a homecoming for Towie as it will return to ITV2 and ITVX for its 15th anniversary.
