Rollercoaster ride: Things are as tumultuous as ever for Megan McKenna, 24, and Pete Wicks, 28, who share a steamy kiss in scenes in Sunday night's episode of TOWIE

The antics begin when Pete celebrates his birthday at the Bonfire night gathering, Megan surprises him with several gifts which leave Pete close to tears.

As he edges closer to winning back her trust, Megan mellows and the pair share their first kiss since their split.

But the fireworks are quick to follow when Megan sees some sexy modelling pictures that Pete has shot for a campaign, which leaves Pete nervous to attend a birthday lunch that Megan and her parents are throwing for him. 

When he arrives at the lunch, sure enough he's back in Megan's bad books, and another argument erupts between the pair, leaving Megan tearful and uncertain of what to do next.

James Lock pulls up Danielle Armstrong for telling Megan what he had told her about Megan's relationship with Pete, and the pair speculate on their friendship and how it would be affected if either embarked on a new relationship.

Meanwhile Amber Dowding asks to meet Chris Clark to clear things up as his despair over their break up continues.

And in the same vein of relationship woes, newcomer Ben Shenel confronts Chloe Lewis over her feelings towards him - and accuses her of still having feelings for her ex.

Brave the chill in Megan's gilet from her Miss Pap collection

Summer is great, with its denim cut-offs and slip-on sandals but can you really beat the feeling of snuggling up in a cosy knit or toasty coat come winter? Not in our opinion!

Or to add to that list, cosying up in a stylish gilet like Megan McKenna. Not only do gilets act as a clever middle-ground between coats and jumpers but they're also total game-changers when it comes to layering.

We love Megan's cool ombre number from her collection for Miss Pap, which she's teamed with a pair of Ugg boots and leather skinnies for a fashion-forward solution to staying warm this season.

Fighting again: Another argument erupts between the pair, leaving Megan tearful and uncertain of what to do next

Megan and Pete's latest onscreen kiss comes as the TOWIE stars were seen getting up close and personal during a cringe-worthy Celebrity Juice Task called The Theory of Anything.

Host Keith Lemon challenged the pair to make a prawn cocktail using just their mouths, stirring up some passion between them. 

The joker cheekily squirts ketchup into Pete’s mouth, mayonnaise into Megan’s, and tells them to 'mix it up' into one sauce.

Despite some awkward laughter, the lovebirds got stuck in and leaned in for a very messy kiss.

Lacing her hands around Pete's neck for support, Megan certainly didn't seem to mind locking lips with her love rat beau.

During their appearance on the show, the reality TV personalities revealed they are still not together - almost a month after Pete's sexting scandal with ex Jaqui Ryland came to light during a trip to Marbella.

'We're not, like, official... its a bit of an awkward situation,' Megan explained after being quizzed by host Keith Lemon. 

Taking the reigns, Pete quickly added: 'We're working on it - it's complicated. I was a pr**k basically. I sent text messages I shouldn’t have sent to someone.'  

The drama continues in The Only Way Is Essex on Sunday 6th November at 10pm on ITVBe.
