The festive season is upon the TOWIE cast, but it's set to be far from a quiet Christmas on The Only Way Is Essexmas.

Gemma Collins and Bobby Cole Norris go from the best of friends to frenemies as a celebratory nut roast with Lauren Goodger and Lydia Bright leads to barbed comments and insults being exchanged across the dinner table.

The flare up begins when Bobby claims Gemma's crush on Jon Clark is the result of a 'mid life crisis' which the GC fails to see the funny side of.

Lydia Bright may be a TOWIE girl but she doesn't really dress like the rest of them and for this we love her.

Any individuality is always appreciated and while the other Essex beauties favour bodycon, bronzer and bandage dresses, Lydia keeps things a little more demure. She always looks gorgeous but it's ladylike and grown up.

And much of her wardrobe is vintage inspired with prints, flounces and frills her fashion forte. The dress she wore for the Essexmas special is another good example with its flattering cut and Baroque embroidered pattern.

It's by Darling, Lydia's favourite day-to-day label and if you fancy stealing her style then click (right) to snap it up from her boutique, Bella Sorella now. Wear with classic courts to complete the look.

When Bobby then talks about wanting to have a baby, the conversation is further soured when Bobby tells Lydia he'd rather use her eggs over Gemma's.

Gemma Collins has made no secret of her love for TOWIE bad boy Jon Clark.

And it had previously seemed her numerous attempts to seduce him could have been winning him over after all since the Essex boy joked that he was in need of some 'GC loving' after suffering a painful ice-skating accident.
