TOWIE’s Nicole Bass rollerskates with giddy Clelia Theodorou during socially-distanced filming 

They’ve been gearing up for the return of the ITVBe show as it prepares to celebrate it’s 10th anniversary in October. 

And Nicole Bass and Clelia Theodorou appeared to be having a whale of a time as they roller-skated during socially-distanced filming for The Only Way Is Essex in London on Wednesday.  

The former Ex on the Beach star, 28, who is making a comeback after a four-year absence, turned heads in a chic outfit as she proved safety comes first by sporting a helmet and knee pads.

Flashing a hint of her toned abs, the media personality was dressed in a navy crop top, which she teamed with tiny denim shorts and a white shirt.

The brunette beauty turned up to the park in a pair of box-fresh white trainers, before switching into sturdy black rollerskates.

The TV star rounded things off with circular-framed shades as she enjoyed some quality time with her gal pals. 

Former glamour model Clelia, 25, meanwhile, paired a clingy white playsuit with a relaxed shirt, tying the ends of the garment at her waist.

The Zoo bombshell opted for comfort in white canvas shoes, while highlighting her naturally radiant complexion with minimal make-up. 

Nicole last starred on the show between series 16 and 17 four years ago, while Clelia joined the cast in 2018.

As TOWIE celebrates its 10th birthday, it’s been hinted that many of the show’s former stars could return for a guest appearance, including Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger. 

TOWIE halted filming in March and joined a long list of shows which have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Show bosses were hoping to continue with filming the new series which was due to begin production later that month.

However, according to The Sun, ITV decided to delay production on the reality show due to COVID-19, with the hope filming could resume later this year.

A source told the publication: ‘There have been lengthy discussions with the cast, and it just wouldn’t have worked without a busy social scene and going to clubs and their shops.

‘So bosses have decided to wait until later in the year when the crisis has calmed down a bit. It’s not worth the risk.

‘TOWIE relies on signature set pieces and glossy events, set in glamorous locations around Essex and involves a big cast of regulars and extras. It’s also all about friendships and relationships, so the social lives of our cast members are at the heart of the show.’

An ITV spokesperson said: ‘After much consideration, it has been decided that the upcoming series of The Only Way Is Essex will be postponed until later in the year.’

Chronicling 10 years of high drama, head turning glamour, rocky relationships, and the most outlandish characters that Essex has to offer, The TOWIE Years will relive the most unforgettable moments throughout the show that redefined reality TV.

Each episode of the 10-part series will look back on a year in the show’s history, starting with 2010, the year the show first burst onto screens, as viewers revelled in the highs and lows of Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger’s tempestuous relationship.

Taking viewers from the beginning right through to the present day, the series will remember the golden couples, the epic fall outs, the holiday high jinks, and the many turns of phrase and wardrobe choices that have become synonymous with the BAFTA award winning show. 

Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels & Acquisitions at ITV, said: ‘In its decade on screens TOWIE has produced some of the most jaw dropping, talked about TV moments in reality TV history, and as we reach this milestone year for the show, what better opportunity to look back and remember everything that’s made The Only Way Is Essex an unmissable ten years of TV.’
