Towie’s two new cast members revealed in show shake-up ahead of new series
THE Sun can reveal that two new cast members will be joining The Only Way is Essex.
In a shake-up ahead of the new series, Lauren Bayford and Grace Lizzimore have signed up for the hit ITVBe show.
An insider revealed the pair already have connections to current cast members Junaid Ahmed and Saffron Lempriere, who were apparently lobbying execs to get them on.
Although, the source told The Sun Online that the new duo will not be joining Towie on a full time basis.
They revealed: "Lauren and Grace are really close pals with Junaid and Saffron, who advocated for them to get on camera. They’ll make their debut in the new series for a few episodes.
"Bosses want there to be lots of laughs and chemistry on screen and to inject some fun back with fresh new faces, but they’re not permanent on the show for now. Viewers will have to watch this space."

"They are really into each other and their friends and family think they make a really cute couple. They have a shared sense of humour and similar interests, so a lot of people think it's a surprise they didn't get together sooner.
"Don't be shocked if they talk about moving in together sooner rather than later."
The Sun has approached The Only Way Is Essex for comment.
