Backstage with TOWIE

Descriptor: First we see several shots of Joey, Lydia and Arg from The Only Way is Essex in the National Lottery studio, which is decorated with a Christmas theme. They are rehearsing with several production crew. We see them pushing the button to begin a draw together, with one hand each on top of the button.

Descriptor: We now see a yellow graphical caption which reads, "TOWIE Backstage: Out of everyone in the world who would you love to move to Essex and be part of the show?". We then see Joey, Lydia and Arg sat on a sofa, speaking to camera. The image changes between colour and black and white.

Lydia: Carrie Bradshaw. Sarah Jessica Parker, because she's my absolute idol, and I love her, and she could move to Essex and we could share the same wardrobe.

Joey: Mine would be Justin Bieber. Just chilling out...

Arg: That's true. I don't mind.

Joey: Sitting in a Lamborghini, just going about Essex.

Arg: Em, I'd probably say Tony Bennett. I'd bring over Tony Bennett, and then I'd take him to London Palladium, where me and him would do a duet and a, and a sell-out show.

Descriptor: We again see a graphical caption which reads, "TOWIE Backstage: Out of all the cast who do you think is the ultimate Essex king and queen?" We then see Joey, Lydia and Arg sat on the sofa. The image changes between colour and black and white.

Lydia: I wouldn't really say I'm the queen of Essex...

Arg: Joe's Mr Essex because he's born with the name, but if you're looking for a king... [gestures toward himself with his thumb] there's only one man.

Descriptor: Again, we see a graphical caption which reads, "TOWIE Backstage: What is the luckiest thing to have happened to you?" Once again we see Joey, Lydia and Arg sat on the sofa. The image changes between colour and black and white.

Lydia: What's the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me?

Joey: Well I never thought I'd see myself on the National, National Lottery draws, ever in my life. So, a year back, I'd be thinking, I'd be watching it, thinking, "that's a good programme", I would never think I'd actually be there, pushing the buttons, so...

Descriptor: For the final time, we see a graphical caption which reads, "TOWIE Backstage: Who is the luckiest member of TOWIE?" We then see Joey, Lydia and Arg sat on the sofa. The image changes between colour and black and white.

Lydia: The luckiest member of TOWIE is definitely not me because I ended up with him! No, I'm joking! [She strokes his face and laughs.]

Arg: Aw. Give me a kiss. [They kiss.]

Joey: That's harsh.

Arg: I'd say the luckiest member of TOWIE was me. I wasn't supposed to be on the show, I was out in Spain, and my best friend got cast in the show and it was only by fate that me and Lydia broke up and I came back home, and then the show's producers spoke to me just in time before the show started, so I'd say that's pretty lucky.
