Packing extra fake eyelashes and sharing a tent with Joey Essex: TOWIE's Sam, Lauren and Jess get set for summer festivals

Sam Faiers of The Only Way Is Essex tries out a new look ahead of the festival season in a new Company magazine shoot

We're used to seeing them in their stilettos and mini skirts.

But come festival season the stars of The Only Way Is Essex may just be trying out a different look.

Sam Faiers, Jessica Wright and Lauren Goodger have posed for Company magazine to celebrate the start of summer and discuss their festival essentials and who they'll be sharing a tent with.

Sam tells the magazine: 'Festivals are tricky. Last year I went on a fairground ride that spun me upside down and I lost a false eyelash! Devastated. I’ll be taking back-ups this year.'

'My favourite festival memory was when Lady Gaga played at V two years ago. 

'Because we couldn’t get anywhere near the front, my friend and I decided to stand on one of those big, industrial green bins. We got a perfect view,' the glamour model says.

And while she maintains she's completely loved-up with beau Joey, she may make room in her tent for another.

'Joey will be my festival partner this year.He is the reemest and we are for real,' she says. 'I would share a tent with Justin Bieber though! I saw him on the red carpet for his film and I was literally like “Woah!” 

'I was never a big fan before but now I get it, even though he’s a bit young for me.

TOWIE's Lauren Goodger bulges out of her fashionable cut-out dress

She has been very open about struggling with her weight but Lauren Goodger wasn't doing herself any favours yesterday by stepping out in this cut out dress.

The 5ft 6in The Only Way Is Essex star says she's now down to a size 10 after losing a stone, but the unflattering metallic dress didn't show off her results.

Instead the 24-year-old barely squeezed her curves into the dress, as she made her way to a TOWIE photo shoot at Sugar Hut nightclub in Brentwood.

Lauren Goodger arrived at Sugar Hut in Brentwood, Essex, in a less than flattering metallic dress with cut out sides.

TOWIE's Lauren Goodger shows off her bikini body as she and fiancé Mark lark around in the Spanish sun

The reality show that made their names is currently off air - but The Only Way Is Essex sweethearts Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright won't be finding themselves out of the headlines any time soon. 

The pair were enjoying some time off in Alicante last week following the end of the second series a fortnight ago - but seemed to be behaving as if they were still being filmed for the show.

The engaged couple hired a luxury motor boat and then larked about in a series of poses that would have looked somewhat staged if they hadn't simply been taking a few days holiday.
