A BOY CALLED JOEY AND A FRACAS AT A POOL PARTY

I didn’t know it at the time, but Lydia was about to give me a dose of my own medicine. It happened at a pool party that Mark organised in the Essex countryside, and it shocked me into mending my ways. Lydia and I had remained apart after our recent string of rows, which meant that in theory we were both single and therefore free to date other people. In reality, the thought of Lydia being on the arm of anybody else still made me feel physically sick. I admit I was being hypocritical, since I’d done my fair share of cheating, but my own behaviour was still a secret that I was trying to deny. Call me old fashioned, but I wanted Lydia to stay well away from other boys while the feelings between us were still so raw. There had been a brief scene on TOWIE where she had bumped into a boy called Rob in the street, and later it emerged that they had exchanged telephone numbers. At first I didn’t think too much of it, because I was convinced nothing would come of her and Rob. He was a good-looking boy, but he just didn’t seem her type and there wasn’t any chemistry between them. It never occurred to me that Lydia would invite him to an event at which I was present.

When Mark announced that he was planning to hold a pool party I knew that he’d want to do it in style.

‘What do you mean, a pool party?’ I asked.

‘We’re talking champagne sprays and Playboy girls,’ he told me with his usual swagger.

Mark’s idea was to recreate the glamour of Marbella in the Essex countryside and he arranged to borrow a luxurious mansion, which was out in the sticks near a village called Theydon Bois. It was a fantastic property that had a large terrace and garden, plus, of course, an all-important outdoor swimming pool. It was the ideal spot to host a fantastic champagne bash. I agreed that was a great way of getting loads of gorgeous women to show off their bodies in bikinis while all the boys relaxed in their swimming shorts. The producers of TOWIE loved the idea and all the cast were invited to attend. For Mark it was also a way of sending out a message that he was still the No. 1 man in the show.

There was a new kid on the block by this stage in the shape of Joey Essex, who’d joined TOWIE in Series 2. Joey had caused quite a stir by organising a series of ‘reem parties’, which were a huge success (reem is Joey’s favourite term for something that is fantastic). All of a sudden, it was as if he was the new up-and-coming Essex boy. Joey is a wonderful character. I knew him before he joined the cast and we were good friends, and we still are. The first time I’d spoken to him was while I was on a holiday in Marbella.
