Pregnant Georgia Kousoulou joins glam co-star Ella Rae Wise for TOWIE filming

The ITVBe programme was recently hit by complaints to Ofcom after the stars were seen visiting pubs and restaurants while the UK is in lockdown. 

But The Only Way Is Essex producers brushed aside the backlash as Georgia Kousoulou and Ella Rae Wise filmed a party in the county on Saturday.

The pregnant star, 29, displayed her baby bump in a cream jumpsuit, while hairdresser Ella, 20, exuded glamour in a black gown with a thigh-high slit.

Opting for comfort, influencer Georgia dressed her flowy one-piece with a dark military-style with chunky trainers.

The blonde, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Tommy Mallet, swept her tresses into a high ponytail, while her complexion was enhanced with dewy make-up.

Hair extension specialist Ella put on a leggy display in a satin floor-length dress, which featured an asymmetric neckline. 

The reality star wore her locks loose, while heavily-applied bronzer and red lipstick rounded off her appearance.

The duo were joined by fellow castmembers such as Nicole Bass, Chloe Meadows and Clelia Theodorou.

Earlier this month, 64 people contacted the government regulatory body to complain about the programme since its launch.

Before the new series began, bosses clarified in a disclaimer that scenes for the 28th series were shot within strict Covid-19 protocol.

The announcement read: ‘The show will still be bringing you the cast’s real lives and stories, but to keep everyone safe TOWIE have had to create its own little world to film in. 

‘So, although you may see cast in pubs and restaurants, don’t worry because they’ve opened just for the show and have put in lots of extra measures, so Lime Pictures and ITV can still bring you the TOWIE you love safely.’

During the first episode, stars such as Chloe Sims and her sister Demi were seen at a bar while the cast also celebrated a birthday party and visited each other’s houses.

According to a report from The Sun, the complaints to Ofcom were made about: ‘Filming in bars, restaurants and gyms during lockdown and food wastage.’
