Amy Childs poses in a brown cut-out swimsuit while Lauren Goodger sports a stylish cover up as they film new series of TOWIE in Portugal
Amy Childs and looked incredible as they filmed the new series of TOWIE in Portugal on Tuesday.
The Only Way Is Essex stars Amy, 34, and Lauren, 38, were two of just eight stars who filmed the very first episode of the show in 2010.
Amy made a return to the show in 2021 and Lauren followed suit last year, joining her as they both navigate the constructed reality programme as mothers.
She slipped into a racy brown cut out swimsuit and mesh green cover up as she enjoyed the sunshine, while Lauren sported a multi-coloured cover up.
The cast are currently in Portugal to film the upcoming series, which marks the 15 anniversary of the show.

Last month Amy revealed the real reason behind her extreme weight loss after calling off her wedding to her fiancé Billy Delbosq.
Addressing the weight loss and cruel trolling she's received as a result of the weight loss in an emotional interview with OK! Magazine she said: '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. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.'
Amy added: 'But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.'
Amy also explained how she once tried using weight-loss injections 18 months ago, but it made her 'so ill she threw up three or four times'.
However the star appeared in good spirits as she commenced filming and enjoyed lunch with the cast.
TOWIE - which is one of ITVX's most streamed titles with 66million streams in the last 12 months - is back with the brand new series airing on ITV2 and ITVX later this year.
Lauren revealed last month that she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed and can't wait to go back to a 'natural look'.
She admitted her breast were 'perfect' before although now they simply 'make her look big' while opening up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram on Monday.
She wrote in the lengthy caption: '11 years ago I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life.
'I had the perfect boobs .. they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for 1 year they have now changed and I've always found they make me look bigger!
'Also they are heavy and I don't like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boob so much.. so after looking around I've found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos
'This is a HUGE step for me I've wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do ! So it's early stages but I am bringing you a long with me!
'I'm terrified but also for health reasons I'm having implants removed and bring back more to my normal self wanting to reverse everything back to natural.'

Love Island star sparks concern with his appearance after shock betrayal – did you spot it?
A LOVE Islander sparked concern among fans with his appearance after his shock villa betrayal. Harry rattled fans of the ITV2 dating series after his controversial antics in the Love Island villa less than three days into the series. 3 But it seemed that he could have rattled himself after fans were left convinced he'd been crying after his bed-swapping antics were exposed. In the episode, Harry could be seen cuddled up with Shakira in bed but soon attempted to sneak away as he headed to the Hideaway with Helena. They then got very cosy as they kissed and cuddled the night away - with some fans even convinced they had sex. But when Harry was forced to speak to Sharkia about his antics, many fans thought he appeared as though he had been left in tears. Whilst he kept his eyed hidden by sunglasses during the chat whilst in the garden, when he was in the beach hut, he appeared to be sporting very red eyes. It was a stark resemblance to someone who could have just been crying. Writing online, one fan said: "Harry looks like he's been crying lol. I'd be crying if I lost Shakira too." A third added: "Why's Harry crying?" As a fourth wrote: "Harry looks like he's been crying lol. I'd be crying if I lost Shakira too." Watch the moment Love Island stars strip off and jump into bed after ditching their partners for the Hideaway In shock scenes tonight blonde air hostess Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, snuck off for some alone time - leaving their partners reeling. The duo were seen planning their rendezvous earlier in the evening and Harry is seen telling Helena to tap his foot on the way out of the bedroom. A source previously told The Sun: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' 3

Warhammer maker Games Workshop to reward staff with £20MILLION payout
Games Workshop is handing its employees £20million following another bumper year for the beloved tabletop games maker. The Warhammer creator, which has struck a deal to have its creations star in potential TV and film blockbusters for Amazon, said the cash payments would be given on 'an equal basis' to every staff member. Games Workshop's shares have soared in recent years and it joined the UK's leading FTSE 100 stock market index for the first time last December. The £20million payout represents an increase on the £18million awarded last year and £11million the year before that. It comes as Games Workshop forecast sales to soar to at least £560million for the year ending 1 June, up from £494.7million in the previous 12 months. British actor and Superman star Henry Cavill, a self-declared lifelong fan of the figures, will star in and produce a Warhammer 40,000 series with Amazon Prime and Games Workshop. Last December, Cavill posted on Instagram: 'To celebrate some Warhammer news, I decided to make a pilgrimage to the very first place I bought Warhammer models over 30 years Little Shop, on my home island of Jersey! 'My incredible team and I, alongside the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, have been working away in concept rooms, breaking down approaches to the enormity and magnificence of the Warhammer world. 'Together, we've been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. 'Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on high at both Amazon and Games Workshop. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret.' Games Workshop said today that it expects to achieve record licensing sales of about £50million, although the company does not envision repeating that figure in the next financial year. Alongside this, the business believes its core operating profits and pre-tax profits will total no less than £210million and £255million, respectively. Two months ago, Games Workshop upgraded its earnings forecast thanks to strong trading across licensing and its core operations. This followed the firm's best-ever first-half result, with sales buoyed by record retail sales in the UK, North America and Continental Europe. Revenues were further boosted by the release of video game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which sold two million copies on the opening day of its launch and five million by the end of November. During the half-year period, Games Workshop agreed 'creative guidelines' with Amazon to adapt Warhammer 40,000 into films and television shows. In addition, the company entered the blue-chip FTSE 100 after enjoying nearly a decade of consistent growth under its chief executive, Kevin Rountree. During his tenure, Games Workshop has improved its relationship with fans and introduced games with more simplified rules, including Blood Bowl, a parody of American football. Its revenues benefited considerably from the Covid-19 pandemic, when consumers sought new indoor hobbies to occupy their time. Although lockdown curbs eventually ended, the firm's trade has continued expanding, and its market value now stands at almost £5billion. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: 'Games Workshop has a rock-solid core business, underpinned by an army of fans emerged in its fantasy worlds who collect miniature figures and play its board games. 'This success has enabled the company to build a rich library of intellectual property that is now the platform for additional revenue generation. 'Licencing the rights to certain brands and characters is easy money, but Games Workshop is fiercely protective of its assets and won't let anyone come along and milk them.' Despite the optimistic forecasts, Games Workshop shares were 4.5 per cent lower at 15,150p on Friday morning, making them the Footsie's biggest faller.
