And the duo certainly got into the theme of things, with Diags slipping into a red and green-collared suit with matching hat. 

He was joined by a laughing Dan, who rocked  a convincing Santa hat and ensemble, complete with white beard. 

They arrived in Diags' work van, complete clad in tinsel and a speakerphone, in an attempt at a makeshift Santa sleigh.

Dan is single after dramatically splitting from Amber Turner last month. 

Amber had previously dated Dan for five months, earlier this year, but their romance came to and end due to the couple wanting different things - while she had wanted a relationship with Dan, he was keen to stay single after not long splitting from ex-girlfriend of six years Kate Wright.

Taking a break from each other in the wake of their break up, it seems the duo were keen to rekindle things at the start of TOWIE's current series airing on ITVBe. However, despite seeming to get things back on track, Amber and Dan were recently rocked by claims he had been 'unfaithful' during a lads' trip to Dublin.

She had confronted the dark-haired hunk about the claims and it seems tensions are still apparent between the former couple.

Amber and Dan had first controversially embarked on a romance while she had been dating her ex-beau of four years Jamie Reed.

The reality star had initially denied claims she had stayed at Dan's house while still dating Jamie, but later confessed all, insisting she was 'sorry' she had hurt Jamie. 

Following her split from the Essex boy, Amber went on to date Dan, but it became clear the couple were on different pages. Dan decided to call it quits with the starlet, as he claimed she 'wanted a relationship' with him and he was keen to stay single

Feel festive in a frilly red skort from Misspap like Amber

Amber Turner was filming festive scenes for TOWIE this week and naturally had to inject some Christmassy vibes into her look accordingly.

Amber had chosen a bright red skort to exude holiday feels, which really popped next to her black funnel neck jumper and over-the-knee boots.

Choosing a piece in the colour of Santa's suit is always a good place to start to feel festive, so why not snap up Amber's exact skort now at Misspap - it's part of Megan Mckenna's collection and is only £20?

There are plenty of other sassy scarlet options up for grabs though, so if you want to check out the competition before making your mind up, see our edit of alternatives below by the likes of River Island, Boohoo and more. Want to get even more season-appropriate? Add sparkly shoes or a clutch to complete the look.
