There was a right old Essex reunion last night, as arguably the show's biggest star, Mark Wright, regrouped with the TOWIE lot at the ITV Summer Party.

His former co-stars Lydia Bright, Joey Essex, Gemma Collins and Ricky Rayment were all at the annual bash hosted by the broadcaster at London's Aqua restaurant.

Mark looked his usual suave self in a navy suit, but he had some style competition from Joey Essex who turned up wearing sunglasses, despite it being dark outside.

Following his departure from The Only Way Is Essex, Mark has had mixed fortunes.
He came second on I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here, which landed him a presenting role on Take Me Out: The Gossip.
However, critics mauled his hosting skills, and they didn't take much better his new reality show Hollywood Nights either.
After the event, Mark tweeted: "Amazing night at the itv summer drinks. Love my itv family x"
Meanwhile, Gemma and Ricky looked to have put their differences aside following their 'sexting' episode, sharing a rickshaw on the way home.

Wonder what Jessica and Arg have to say about that?
Also present at the party were Amanda Holden, Carol Vorderman, Caroline Flack and Lorraine Kelly.
