Ricky Rayment refused to watch the 'Geordie Shore' finale last night (23.12.15) to save him from ''embarrassment'' following his failed engagement with Marnie Simpson. The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star decided to get an early night rather than watch the last episode of series 11, in which he popped the question to the brunette beauty on camera while she was shooting the show special in Greece. Ricky's former co-star Mario Falcone saw it as a great opportunity to rub salt in the wound by taking to Twitter and tweeting: ''Can't wait to watch #GeordieShore later...

Remember when The Only Way is Essex was all about sporting the very best Vajazzle in Brentwood, Amy Child's cousin constantly saying "shuuuuut up", and that impenetrable love triangle between Mark Wright, Lauren Goodger and Lucy Mecklenburgh?
As the glam-tastic reality TV show celebrates its fifth anniversary, here's what happened to the original cast members:
Mark Wright
Muscle-bound Mark Wright was mostly muddled over whether he wanted to go out with childhood sweetheart Lauren Goodger or Essex rival Lucy Mecklenburg in the debut series of Towie.
He swaggered out of the show and into the night in series 3, never to be seen again... Until he was eating buffalo balls in the jungle a month later for his successful stint on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - leaving as runner-up to winner McFly bassist Dougie Poynter.

I’d been a Sega kid in my formative years as a gamer thanks to an ill-advised decision from my parents to buy me a Mega Drive (that’s a Genesis, for you in the colonies) rather than a Snes. Like any true Sega gamer, I used to convince myself that I had the best machine. Mario? Pfft. He was just a fat plumber fighting an angry turtle. Sonic was the man (figuratively). He was radical and gnarly and other embarrassing nineties words. He had kick ass shoes, and he was super fast, and he had to fight a crazy moustachio’d scientist to save the animals. And we were all about nature in the early nineties. That’s where Captain Planet and Earth Song came from. Sonic the Hedgehog rocked my socks.
Except Sonic the Hedgehog was, for lack of a better word, shit, and I’d been kidding myself the whole time.

Stars of the ITVBe show are currently filming for the series' annual spin-off special in the Spanish city, kicking off next week (June 14).
Chloe Sims sported platinum blonde hair and made a bold impact in a bright red swimsuit and matching shawl as she soaked up the sun.
Towie super couple Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet were pictured arriving by their hotel pool, with Georgia in a plunging lace swimsuit while Tommy wore teeny tiny blue trunks and a matching shirt.
Diags kept it casual in bright yellow swimming shorts and a blue shirt with a pair of flip flops, while Chloe Lewis looked appropriately overdressed for the pool in a smart monochrome ensemble.
Danielle Armstrong was channelling her inner Beyoncé (kind of) in a sheer embellished number, and we were also introduced to newbie Peter Wicks,...

The Only Way Is Essex's Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou have dished the gossip from their recent trip to Dubai.
The pair holidayed with lovebirds James Argent and Lydia Bright, but their public displays of affection left them not knowing where to look.
Georgia said: "Funniest thing is they actually got told off for kissing in the pool, but they're really, really cute. It's like a little love story."
Tommy also predicted that the couple will be married, or at least engaged, by next year.
"I agree," his co-star said.
They may be right, as the on/off couple have taken their relationship to the next level by moving in together.
The Only Way Is Essex wrapped up its most recent series on ITVBe last month, with Arg and Lydia getting back together during the finale.
Meanwhile, Mario Falcone has been suspended from the reality show for a second time.

Mario Falcone has been suspended from 'The Only Way Is Essex' for promoting diet pills on social media. The 27-year-old hunk has been suspended from the ITVBe show for the second time in two years after he was caught breaking the broadcaster's rules by posing with G'Rilla Burn Bullets on both his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Mario Falcone has been temporarily suspended from The Only Way Is Essex.
ITV confirmed that the 27-year-old star has been banned from filming over claims that he has promoted slimming pills on social media.
A channel spokesperson told Digital Spy: "Mario is currently suspended from filming and as such will not be appearing in the Marbella episodes."
Falcone was previously banned from the ITVBe series following the release of a video purporting to show the reality TV star taking drugs on a night out.
He spoke publicly about his battle with depression a month before the footage was leaked.
It was also confirmed today that Towie co-star Ricky Rayment will be "taking a break" from filming and subsequently won't be joining cast members on their annual trip to Marbella.
The Brentwood-based reality TV show was previously recommissioned until Christmas 2016, and returns to ITVBe later this year.

Big Brother pulled out a great task last night - it was impossible not to snigger at the housemates screaming their heads off at everything from teddy bears to non-existent bumps in the night.

One thing you can say about The Only Way is Essex is that it's never short of melodrama that would have you reaching for your 'duff duffs', if you were in a fictional Square somewhere in E20.
This week is no exception, as Towie hurtles towards its finale (well, until the summer) with make-ups, break-ups and shake-ups aplenty.
Oh well, at least baby Nelly has a smile on her face.
Things are looking promising for Arg and Lydia, as she asks him to accompany her to a Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
(Incidentally, why is a raven like a writing de - oh, never mind. Not the time or place.)
Lydia's still got concerns around trust and honesty when it comes to her old flame, though, and it all gets too much for her as she has a heart-to-heart with Lewis, questioning whether she can really move forward.

The Only Way Is Essex bosses have suspended Dan Osborne from filming following the release of an abusive recording.
ITV confirmed today that Osborne will not take part in filming until producers have spoken to him about the leaked tape.
The recording - which was published by The Sun over the weekend - allegedly features Osborne threatening to stab his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin if she sleeps with another man.
An ITV spokesperson told Digital Spy: "We are speaking to Dan about this incident, and in the meantime he will not be taking part in filming."
The tape was leaked after it emerged that Tomlin has reported Osborne to the police for historic domestic incidents, which they are said to be investigating. The reality star has not been arrested in connection with the claims.
Osborne - who has a son, Teddy, with Tomlin - recently welcomed his baby daughter Ella with EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa.

But instead of kicking back and lapping up the sun, sea, sand and excessive amounts of cava, the girls managed to weather their own stormy and tumultuous few days. As Lydia Bright recently admitted: "There's never been so many arguments on one holiday!"
And we've already practically seen what Bobby had for breakfast in one Tenerife spoiler...

13 surprising celebrity tattoos: Cheryl, Miley, Harry Styles and more

The pair revealed the inkings on their feet, which combined spell 'Micky', a mix of both their names together.
Although Ricky has really only dropped the 'r' and replaced it with Mario's 'm'. And obviously on their own, they don't make much sense.
Mario and Ricky have become close friends since Ricky split up with Jessica Wright in the series finale - which included that Full Monty - last month.

The Only Way Is Essex stars were celebrating Halloween early last night (October 30) - but Nana Pat beat the rest of the cast hands down with her spooky outfit.
Most of the male cast took the opportunity to take off their tops off and call it a costume, including Elliott Wright, Tommy Mallet, James Lock and Dan Osborne.
Nana Pat was a very good sport dressed in a skeleton suit with black eyeshadow and lipstick.
Wright painted his torso green, and his sister Leah wore a leaf covered leotard as Poison Ivy.
Ferne McCann looked like a creature straight out of Guillermo del Toro Pan's Labyrinth, while Gemma Collins donned a gothic-style dress and white make-up.
Diags came as Medusa, with green plastic snakes springing from his hair, while Lewis Bloor covered up in a v-neck jumper and glasses. The pair were later pictured having a heated discussion in typical dramatic Towie style.

The Only Way Is Essex star James Lock has admitted that he is "embarrassed" about the drugs scandal that led to him being suspended from the show earlier this year.

Speaking to reporters in Ibiza - where the Towie cast are filming two special episodes - Lock admitted that it was "frustrating" and "disappointing" being suspended from the series.
"Obviously your friends are out there filming in Marbella, and I'm stuck in England and that was something I couldn't control because I had to wait until the outcome," he said. "I had to wait for other people. I'm a control freak and I like to have control of my own life, and everything was out of my hands and I just felt helpless. It's done now, it's all behind me,...
