Clutching a can of Fanta in one hand and her belongings in the other, Amber walked with a huge smile on her face, clearly enjoying Chris's company.

Meanwhile, her long-haired beau wore a coordinated outfit, teaming a plain black t-shirt with khaki shorts and matching kicks.

He cut a cool figure in a pair of oversized shades and a cap from underneath which his locks fell.

Strolling beside his girlfriend, he held a bottle of water and what appeared to be a tray of chips, and looked to be equally as content.

Best friends with Lydia Bright, Amber already knew most of the well-known cast having met them on the Essex social scene.

She previously said of her blossoming romance with Chris: 'It’s going really well - there’s a lot of pressure on whether or not we’re official but we’re seeing each other and seeing how it goes but from the way it’s going at the moment I’m sure we will be.'

While the pair are currently in a good place, Amber is keen to avoid the TOWIE relationship curse. 

She explained: 'We just need to stay strong and be honest with each other the whole way through and not let anyone come between us – trust and loyalty is the key.'

New to series 18 of the reality show, Amber added: 'I’m very much a girls’ girl with my friends. I’ll always have their backs. I don’t hold back though and I say what I think.'
