- [Narrator] This programme contains flash cars,

big watches and white stallions.

The tans you see might be fake but the people are all real,

although some of what they do

has been set up purely for your entertainment.

Previously on "The Only Way is Essex."

- I need to go and see Mister Darcy.

- You shouldn't really be here should you, James.

- I'm gonna start my own model agency.

- Bit of commercial, bit of fashion, bit of glamour.

- Oh my God! - Are you joking?

- Why don't we have a Playboy party?

- What?

- [Mark] My man!

[upbeat rhythmic music]

♪ The only way is you, baby

♪ You and me now

["Hungry like The Wolf" by Duran Duran]

- To be fair this has been a nice

chill out before the big night, ain't it?

- It's a good plan, mate, really good plan,

I'm really enjoying myself.

- Do you know the real reason why I'm doing this tonight?

- Because you're engaged?

- Obviously.

But not everyone has like an engagement party,

not everyone takes it to that, you know,

makes it big, but I always planned

that I would have a really romantic proposal on a beach

on one knee, whatever, and that hasn't happened,

I just wanna prove to everyone who doesn't think it's real,

all my family, all the boys, I wanna tell everyone,

listen, I am in love, I do love this girl,

this is the girl I wanna spend the rest of my life with

and the reason why I'm doing this tonight

is because I wanna show everyone

how much she means to me and the effort I'm putting in,

do you know what I mean?

- Yeah, but me and Jess have had a little chat

and we're like gonna do a little duet together

for your [mumbles] first slow dance at the party

or something like that?

- I really, really appreciate that, what you've done for me,

this engagement party and the effort you're putting in,

you know, it really means a lot,

but people are getting scared

that I'm gonna call off the wedding to Lauren

and marrying you.

[laughs]

- You bastard!

["Something Good Can Work" by Two Door Cinema Club]

- Congratulations!

- [Lauren] Cheers.

I want everyone to be looking amazing,

I want to get the message out there, it's classy,

it's massive, it's a very posh event,

we're having pink, silver and white balloons

everywhere at the tables. - Pink, silver and white?

- Yeah.

- Nice.

- So--

You do know that this is not your wedding day,

this is an engagement party?

- I like to be like my birthday--

- So what's your wedding gonna be like?

- Oh, I'll be in competition with Kate and Will!

- Oh my God!

I'm still sceptical of him behaving himself,

see how long it lasts, hopefully it will,

but no, he seems to be like being really good lately,

seems to be treating you really nice.

Hopefully, he will stay like that.

- Don't be a bitch.

[chuckles]

- What's the Sam situation all about?

You reckon she will turn up, wont turn up, what you reckon?

- Do you know what, mate?

Watch there for if she wants it,

if she turns up, she turns up, if she don't, she don't.

Here, mate, do you want that?

- Lovely; do you think she will though?

- Yeah, I think she will, 'cause I think

she'll be looking bitter if she don't.

I'm gonna see Sam later on.

- [Arg] Are ya?

- Yeah, gotta talk to her about something.

- Are you gonna tell me, or?

- I ain't gonna meet her for that,

if that's what you're trying to get at, you know.

If I wanna be with Sam, I can be with her,

do you know what I'm trying to say?

- You reckon, Lauren will be all right with Sam coming?

She'll have an issue or she'll be happy for us

to come or what?

- Listen, it's Lauren's night,

I want it to be special for her.

If she doesn't want Sam coming, then that's fine.

But to be honest with ya, I don't think she cares.

At the end of it I told her, all she needs to do,

when she's dancing with me at the end there,

she needs to look at her and just go, "Look, who's got him,"

do you know what I'm trying to say?

- What, like you're a top prize?

- I'm more than a top prize, Argie.

[slow jazz music]

- So all these cupcakes are vajazzled, diamond,

but look what's gonna top it off.

- What?

- Ta-da!

- Oh my God.

- [Sam] Oh my god.

- Mark looks anorexic!

- Are you joking?

- [Amy] Mark looks so ugly in that picture, didn't he?

- [Sam] I think they both look exactly the same.

- [Amy] I'll put it on this here.

- I'll put one and you put one.

Do they know that you've got these?

- Oh look, so cringy.

[chuckles]

Oh, you squashed that face, Sam!

- Didn't mean to do that, it's all right.

[giggle]

No, I'm joking.

- That is so horrible. - I'm joking.

Wait, let me move it.

Oh, this one's ruined!

- [Amy] Oh, what a shame.

[laugh]

- I take it, you're not coming

to Mark and Lauren's engagement party?

- I think, my invite's in the post [laughs].

- I don't think all Mark's 150 exes will be attending.

[laughs]

That he'd be sitting there writing a list

of all the people to not invite.

Probably on the list of people to invite.

I don't think he'll probably want me to come, will he?

- Why, you still not getting on with him?

- No, we don't really get on, do we?

- Oh god.

[laughs]

- He's not been the best influence, has he?

- How are you and Arg?

- Well, we're like on talking terms, but.

- So, have you heard from Mark since he came into the shop?

- He called me earlier.

- Saying what? - Random.

He was just like, "Oh, I need to ask you something."

- Yeah?

- Sam, he's so not over you.

- No, he was like, "Oh, I need to talk you about something,

"I've got something to ask you."

So, I'm gonna go and see him later and see what he wants.

- I think, Sam, he really likes you.

- To be honest, obviously, it's like

I'm always gonna have a soft spot for him.

- [Amy] Of course you are.

- But he's engaged now, do you know what I mean,

I'm just moving on, I'm not really,

I'm not gonna dwell on it,

I'm happy, I'm seeing Joey.

I'm happy about that. - Joey's you man.

Joey's you man. - Exactly.

- [Amy] And we love Joey, don't we, Harry?

- We love Joey.

We even fancy him, so be careful.

[laugh]

- So, I'm surprised we're invited,

seeing as we're like glamour models.

- Yeah, but we're the only people,

that haven't shagged Mark.

[giggles]

- I wonder what Mark Wright is like in bed.

'Cause I'm not being funny, but all these girls

that he liked, I see [mumbles] throwing themselves at him,

he must have some sort of tool down there?

- Do you think he's a grower or a shower?

- What does that mean?

- Do you know what a grower or shower?

- No, is that Northern?

- If it grows, then it means it gets bigger,

but if it shows, it's just permanently big all of the time.

- And it doesn't get any bigger.

A grower is quite small but--

- [Gemma] Small but then it expands.

- But doesn't every get smaller and then get bigger?

- [Maria] No.

- Sometimes they're soft and then they're hard?

- Right; basically, a shower is when it's ready for action--

- [Maria] A bit of a donkey.

- It doesn't need to be ready for action,

'cause it's massive as it is.

- Yeah, but nothing really happens,

it doesn't really do a lot as a shower.

- You've baffled me.

- Sometimes they have a large packet down there

and it just gets bigger than what it already looks.

Some of them are like proper small and embarrassing

and it has to physically grow to do the job.

Oh my God, imagine being in that situation?

[frown]

[chuckles]

- [Sam] Hello.

- How are you doing, all right?

- Yeah, good, thank you.

So what have you called me here for, then?

- I just wanna talk to you about something.

- Okay.

- I dunno if you know, I'm setting up my own model agency.

- Yeah.

- And basically, on the website is a section for glamour,

and I just wondered if you would wanna get involved.

- What do you mean, not modelling?

- No, you wouldn't have to model, no, of course not.

I've got someone set in charge of the fashion,

someone set in charge of the commercial,

and I want you to take charge of the glamour.

- How comes you're asking me?

- 'Cause you're good at what you do.

- Have you spoke to Lauren about this?

- No, I haven't, but if she's got something to say about it

then obviously, I'll have to talk to her about it,

but this is my business, she's gotta trust me.

- I don't think it's gonna work.

That risk, not to upset Lauren.

- But I want to have a female working for me,

so what's the difference if it's you or someone else,

now she's gotta get over the fact--

- [Sam] But there is a difference.

- [Mark] She's gotta start trusting me.

- There is a difference if it's me or someone else.

- [Mark] Why?

- Because there is. - But why?

- If you don't know why, you are very stupid!

- Well, obviously, our past, but the point I'm making

is this is my business and I'm only thinking of it

in a business sense,

so you've gotta except that and so has she.

- I'd have to think about it.

[bright upbeat music]

- Do you think Sam'll come to the--

- [Maria] I think Sam will go.

Do you think Lucy will go?

- Would you go though, if you was in that position?

I wouldn't, I'd be devastated.

I wouldn't be able to go.

- Yeah, but Lauren was there first.

- Sam's a really nice person,

I think that she gets a little bit of a hard time, really,

she hasn't done anything wrong.

If anything, she gives him more of a hard time

than Lauren does.

If Lauren treated him a bit more like that,

maybe he'd sort himself out.

- I think Lauren's gotta really good outlook on it,

she's like, "All of that's in the past now,

"me and Mark are getting engaged,

"it's a statement that we're moving forward."

- But looking at her, if you look at her

when she's saying it, I don't think she actually believes,

that that is, I think she wants it,

but I don't think she thinks that.

- She has forgiven him for everything he's done,

if that was me, it'd ate me alive,

I couldn't even look at him.

- Why do you think she's forgiven him?

- 'Cause she loves him, love is a powerful thing.

- It totally is, it makes you do absolutely mad things,

worst decisions ever come out of being in love.

- [Amy] Is Mark getting nervous?

- No, he's all right actually.

He's looking forward to it,

he's a bit more excited than me.

He's been doing more organising than I have.

- [Amy] Has he?

- Yeah.

- [Paloma] So what else have you got planned for the day?

- We've got chocolate fountains, ice sculptures, live band.

We've got a bit of an entrance

and I've just brought an amazing dress as well.

- It's like a wedding isn't it?

[laughs] - Yeah, it is a wedding.

- It's nice Lauren, you go, girl.

- I know, gotta make the most of it!

- [Paloma] So who's gonna come to the party then?

- To the party, Joey Essex, oh, lots of us,

Harry, Gemma, Sam--

- I saw Sam today.

- Oh, did you? - Yeah, I saw her with Mark,

yeah, in the pub.

- You're joking?

- [Paloma] No, I'm being serious.

- What, today?

- Today!

- Mark, my fiance Mark, with Sam?

- Yeah.

- [Amy] Definitely Mark?

- It was definitely Mark,

I walked past and I had to stop and stare.

- Awkward.

- That is weird, 'cause they're not mates

to be going for lunch, you know what I mean,

I wouldn't have that at all.

- You gossiper, Paloma!

We got a gossiper in Amy's salon.

- [Paloma] Well, you gotta know.

- I'd rather know, I'd defiantly would rather know,

I definitely would.

- The thing is though it could be so innocent, Lauren,

it could be.

- It's not about it being innocent or not,

they could be talking about the fucking sky,

it's me knowing about it.

You sure none of the other boys were there?

She might have just sat at the same table?

That's fine. - No it was just them two.

That's why I thought it was a bit weird.

- It's just, I think he's taking the piss.

- You need to talk to Mark, Lauren.

- Talk to him?

I'll kill him.

[laughs]

- Awkward!

- I've got some sick suit.

- Have ya? - Baby blue,

I've had it all tailored,

so it's all tight on the legs,

showing muscles on me leg.

- What muscles? [chuckles]

- I got more muscles on my leg

than you've got on your whole body, son.

Ah, I'll look so good.

- And are we gonna go in like a proper disco dancing?

- Yeah, I'm gonna be cutting caterpillars and everything.

Definitely.

[phone rings]

Talk to wifey.

- Who's that? - Lauren.

All right, babe?

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, good, you?

- Yeah, I'm just at Amy's having my nails and that done,

just chatting away, and Paloma said she saw you today

having lunch with Sam and I went,

"No, that defiantly weren't Mark."

- What?

What do you mean?

Yeah, I did have lunch with Sam.

- What?

- Yeah, but I was only a business meeting, Lauren.

- A business meeting?

- [Mark] Yeah.

- [Lauren] What the fuck about?

What business meeting would you have to have with Sam?

- About the model agency.

- [Lauren] Do you understand what commitment means?

- [Mark] What?

- It's a part of honesty as well, and it's trust.

- I'm being honest, you just don't--

- I'm not saying you've lied, but that's very dishonest,

'cause if you live with me and are engaged to me,

you don't go and meet a girl and have lunch,

'cause anyone can talk, that's how rumours start,

and now I've gotta deal with it sitting here like an idiot

with girls telling me that you've been for lunch with Sam,

don't you think that's a bit embarrassing,

how would you feel if you was me?

- You know, I'd be annoyed, babe, but as I said,

I ain't gonna cheat on you no more,

all it is literally I'm thinking of my business,

she can see what a good glamour--

- She knows what, she knows what?

- She can see what a good glamour model is and I can't,

you know, I might not know this stuff.

- So what was this meeting about then?

To know what a pair of tits look like?

Is that what you mean is about?

- No, 'cause she's gonna be the one casting the girls

and overseeing the glamour model agency,

do you know what I mean?

- I don't think so.

- [Mark] Why not?

- What do you mean, why not?

- Well, Lauren, it's my business, you know,

and I want it to go well.

- So, what have you invited her to the engagement party?

- Well, I've said if she wants to come, she can come.

- Really?

Well, I don't even know if I'm going anyway, so

I'll just see you later, I can't be bothered with it, bye.

- Go girl.

- [Arg] Don't worry about that.

- She's chatting shit,

and she actually said she ain't gonna come.

- She's over reacting, but as a mate, I can see her point.

- I think, she should be more annoyed at me

[farts] doing that.

[laugh]

[soft relaxing music] [chatter]

- This isn't an engagement party, this is a wedding.

Let me tell you now, Mark wants to ride in on a horse--

- Oh, shut up, that's silly! - No, I'm serious,

he wants to ride in on a horse,

like Robin Hood or something.

[laughs]

- [Leah] Like he's rescuing her or something?

- He's talking about presents being delivered

like down from the ceiling or on a horse.

- You get presents when people are getting married, first,

and is there any wedding date booked?

No. - This is like a wedding.

This is like a wedding.

- I don't wanna be negative, because I do feel negative,

because I can not see it working.

I want him to be really happy with somebody

that he loves to bits,

and that he's gonna really appreciate

and have a fantastic life.

I can remember times when they've sat on those sofas

and they've argued because she's not had his 100% attention.

'Cause what it is, she wants all of him.

- Lauren hasn't been a saint through it all.

- Lauren's been as bad as Mark or worse

in that relationship. - So maybe

they'll get through this together,

but I cant see, personally, if you're in a relationship,

you're always gonna bring up what's happened in the past.

Are you telling me, she's never gonna say,

"You went with Sam" and "You went with Lucy"?

- They've seemed happy

ever since he put the ring on her finger.

- Of course he would, it's what Lauren's always wanted!

- I will not believe they are getting married

until I see them walk down the aisle

and I really mean that. - Me too.

- I just hope it works, I can not see it working,

please God it works.

- See, if this was like a year ago, I'd say no,

I can change her mind that quickly,

but the way she was before I got her back,

she was so stubborn, she didn't want nothing to do with me,

so I'm just thinking now, she's just the way she is now,

she's just like, "No, fuck him," do you know hat I mean?

- Hi, Lauren.

- All right.

- [Mark] Come here.

- Arg, would you mind popping out a minute,

is that all right? - Yeah.

- [Mark] What's the matter with you?

- Huh? - What's the matter with you?

- I've just been to get my nails and that done and--

- [Mark] Can you sit here?

- I just felt like an absolute idiot.

- Why, Lauren?

- 'Cause what the fuck is going on?

Do you know what I mean?

You just got engaged to me,

and you in to be committed to me,

and then some girls telling me

that you're having lunch with Sam,

I was like 100% that's not Mark.

No way, definitely got it wrong, must be someone else

who looks like him.

Remember when I told you about the glamour agency,

she said, don't you doing it,

and you have a meets about her working with you?

How many times I have to say to you,

I don't want you doing it?

- But, Lauren, it's business.

- I don't care, I don't care about business.

You've gone behind my back going ahead with the agency,

and then having a meeting with Sam about working for you

and advice on it.

What?!

- Well--

- [Lauren] So what you have to say?

- I'm sorry.

- That's not good enough, grow up.

What have you got to say?

- I don't know, I'm sorry.

And I done it because I'm thinking about my business first.

- If you really, really were serious about this business,

the person that would be working with you would be me.

- No, 'cause you're not a glamour model.

- So you've gotta be a glamour model?

You obviously haven't gotta clue then.

- 'Cause she's been a glamour model before,

she knows what you've got to have to be a glamour model.

- Why does she?

- Look, forget what she can and can't do.

- It's out of order though, that's you're excuse?

- Can you let me speak for just one moment.

I love you, I asked her to work for me,

I'm sorry, there nothing more I can say

other than we've got an amazing engagement party

lined up tonight.

Let's not argue about something that I will turn around

and look, forget Sam, I will not have her working for me.

And I understand how you feel now,

I never thought about it at the time.

And I'm sorry and I love you.

Come and sit here.

Why are you putting your bag on?

- [Lauren] 'Cause I'm going.

- Why are you going?

- 'Cause that's all I've got to say to you at the moment.

- Lauren, what are you fucking doing, you dick?

Lauren, what are you doing?

[upbeat music]

[dramatic orchestral music]

- [Sam] This is like a wedding venue.

- [Joey] I know, isn't it?

- It's lovely though.

- Its reem.

- [Sam] I dunno if I wanna go in, you know.

- [Joey] Why?

- Dunno, feels a little bit weird.

- Why, what's the whole situation with Mark, it all right?

- Yeah, like it's fine, you know, when you think that after,

given the history and things like that,

and this is his engagement party,

it's Mark's engagement, and I'm here.

- No, of course.

Well, how do you feel about Mark, then?

- I don't really feel anything,

I'm happy that he's engaged

and I hope he's happy with Lauren.

And I'm with you now.

- Yeah, you and me.

Come give me a kiss, you and me, come.

- [Sam] Yeah.

- You're beautiful.

[horses neigh]

- [Arg] I don't believe this.

- [Mark] What's the matter with you?

- [Arg] We're getting on a horses for an engagement party,

it's not a wedding!

- [Mark] I'll take the stallion for a stallion.

- I'll take the smaller one,

'cause I'll struggle to get me leg up on the other one.

[grunts]

- Oh, it ain't so safe up here, mate, trust me.

- On the count of one, two, three.

[laughs]

- Is he light enough for the horse?

[laughs]

- [Arg] Come on mate, I ain't gonna get up it.

- [Horseman] Try another way.

- My left leg up in there.

Oh, I can't do it, I'll split my trousers.

[laughs]

- [Arg] Got there.

- You nearly killed the horse.

[laughs]

- Come on, seriously, Mark, horses, I mean, really?

Do we need to do horses?

- This is a bit of Brokeback Mountain for me and you,

a bit of bromance!

- Love it all!

[laughs]

- [Arg] I feel like I'm gonna fall off,

what am I gonna hold onto?

[slow dramatic music]

[guests cheer]

- Oh, shut up!

- There being followed by priests, ain't they?

Are they preists?

- No.

- [Harry] I didn't know it was a gay wedding.

- This guy right there.

- I though I was the [mumbles]

[slow dramatic music]

- I surely brought him with, he's gonna be doing this

for a couple of weeks, didn't I?

[laughs]

[guests clap]

- [Arg] Got there in the end though.

- Hold you foot up.

[guests cheer]

[laughs]

[guests clap]

- Congratulations. - Cheers.

Hello, nan. - Lovely.

- [Guest] You look handsome.

- [Mark] Cheers, son.

[bright orchestral music]

[guests cheer]

- [Jessica] That's a nice car.

[guests cheer]

- Ah, lovely dress.

You wouldn't wear white though, would you,

to your engagement?

- [Jessica] She's wearing white, oh no.

Its like a wedding.

- [Carol] Hope she's leaving [mumbles] my wedding dress.

- You look nice, you arrived then.

- [Lauren] Thank you, yeah.

I still haven't forgotten about it, all right?

Hello.

- [Jessica] You're in white!

I didn't think you'd be bloody wearing white!

- [Lauren] Hello.

- Shall we go in.

- Everyone come in for a drink

- Come on.

[guests cheer]

[upbeat funky music]

- Oh Amy, it's all on your chin,

it's warm ain't it?

- It's lovely. - What's Sam,

is she gonna talk to Mark,

is she gonna say congratulations?

- I dunno, I aint seen her yet, so when I see her,

I'll try and get all the gossip.

- Does Sam still like Mark?

- I think she likes him,

I don't think they gonna get back together from now,

I thinks she knows that he's getting married and--

- To be honest, I think Mark's a completely changed person.

- I think he is.

- The way he is, you know like every time

we've been at a party, every time he looks at her,

I don't think it's good.

And obviously, Joey fancies Sam.

- Sorted.

[slow funky music]

- I felt like I had to come, because I though,

I'm not proving a point or nothing, but I just thought

I'm gonna show my respects, so then this chapter's over.

But being here, feels a bit weird,

because, I'm with Joey and and we're all having a good time,

but I do, I will always have a soft spot for Mark,

always have a soft spot for him.

- Course you will.

- He wants Lauren, he wants the fairy tale wedding,

but is that, is he happy?

- I dunno.

[upbeat bright music]

- So there's no Mark Wright in your life then?

- There is no grower or shower in my life at the moment.

- Would you prefer a shower or a grower?

- Dunno, it's been so long.

- Has it got cobwebs?

- I think it has.

- It's been a long time for me as well.

- I just don't want that though,

I want the love and the real romance.

- I'm pissed off there ain't no hot men here,

look at these nutters!

[upbeat music]

- Fantastic night.

- Well I can't believe, if this is their engagement party,

let's just say they need to save up for a few years

for their wedding, don't they?

- [Nanny Pat] Well, if it goes in the OK! Magazine,

they wont have to pay, do they?

- Mum!

[chuckles]

She went, "If it goes in the OK! Magazine,

"they wont have to pay anyway."

[laughs]

- Hello!

I'll sit down, my feet are killing me.

- Were just saying what a fantastic night.

- What is your wedding gonna be like,

if this is your engagement party.

- Oh no, it's gonna be 10 times bigger than this.

- When is the wedding?

- This is the question, I don't know,

but I think like, now we've done this,

I think, in my mind, we are ready.

- We or you?

- No, we.

I do, what I tell ya the gods honest truth,

I think it's more Mark than me.

- Indeed?

- I think this stuff like means a lot to him,

but he's very family orientated,

I know he wants to get married,

I think that now he wants to do it, so.

- As long as there's no children involved, Lauren,

that's the main thing.

I think for Carols sake.

Don't you think?

- I just also think, Lauren,

you need to be more involved in the family as well,

because I think once you get Mark, that's it,

that's all you need in life,

but you need to be more involved in all us.

Because you don't, you just run away.

- I'll tell you the gods honest truth,

is because Mark is very honest with me

and Mark would tell me what everyone says about me

and that makes it hard.

- [Leah] Like what?

- Like you should break away now and which is fair enough,

'cause you care about him

and love him.... - Who said that?

- Well, his family, like Jess, his mum.

- Sorry what, I say what?

- [Lauren] You should break away, move on, blah, blah, blah.

- Marks has told her that you've said that.

- But the thing is the reason why I can't let this happen,

think to myself this is really gonna happen,

it's because you don't like,

I wanna be excited for you two.

But you have such a distance to me, Lauren.

For some reason, when you're back with Mark,

Mark won't come near me today.

- Why? - I don't know.

- Well, I don't think you and Mark are very close.

- Are you joking, Lauren?!

I dunno but for some reason when you're with Mark,

for some reason recently, he just doesn't want

to talk to me and mummy, he won't talk to us,

and I feel like you would get the hump with him

for talking to us-- - Ridiculous!

- [Jessica] No, I know that's ridiculous.

- Maybe I know what it is. If that's the case,

I think it's because he thinks that you lot don't like me.

- We like you as a person, we are happy for you,

we want to be happy that you and Mark are really happy.

And we need to believe that.

Do you know where I'm coming from?

- Yeah.

[slow dramatic music]

- Hello.

- Samantha, how are you?

- I'm good, you?

- Good.

Glad you made it.

- Lovely venue.

- [Mark] It's nice, isn't it?

- Really lovely.

- You all right?

- I'm fine.

I just wanted to talk to you because I feel like

I know you're happy, and you want to be with Lauren,

and I know that you love Lauren, but I feel like

for some reason that you still hold something on me?

- Right.

- And I just wanna get to the bottom of it,

'cause I feel like I wanna move on, but I can't,

I feel like I'm waiting for something.

I dunno what I'm waiting for

or what it is, but I feel I am.

I want you to be honest though and explain.

- How deep do you want me to go in the fact

that I love Lauren, you know, it's hard,

I don't wanna do that to you. - I know you love Lauren.

I just wanna know how you feel about me,

so I can draw a line under it.

- Okay.

Is very hard to say this 'cause I'm a bit of a coward,

but you've meant something to me in my time

and I'd never ever deny that, and you know that.

That's why you're sitting here now,

because you know you've meant something to me,

and of course my feelings won't just stop,

and it did a little bit annoy me the fact

that you're snogging Joey's face off in the club,

in the pool, in front of everyone,

I felt it was a little bit strong.

But I can't tell you what to do, you're right,

I can't dictate you what to do.

You know, I'm engaged to Lauren now.

And it's always been hard for me to say,

look, Sam, you've gotta let go now,

I'm back with with Lauren,

like I used to get back with her,

and probably try and keep you there

if you like. - You say, Sam,

you've gotta let go, but.

- No, no, I'm saying I never used to say that,

I used to keep you there, but now I've probably got to say.

It's terribly hard for me to say this,

but I'll never forget you and there's a place in my heart,

and you know I liked you and I always did.

But I've gotta blank that out my head now,

I'm moving on.

- Why would you ask me to work for you then?

With the past and history that we've had?

- Well then maybe I shouldn't have done that,

if you thought it was awkward,

I just thought it would be okay, you know,

it probably would have been awkward now,

I think about it, Lauren wasn't that happy about it.

- I just don't think you're that honest with yourself.

- That's up to you.

I don't think I'd be here, Sam, if I didn't love Lauren.

What can I say now?

I can't sit here and say,

wait around, Sam, just in case I split up with Lauren,

'cause I know you won't do that anyway

and hopefully I won't split up with Lauren,

'cause I've done this for a reason,

hopefully, we have a good future together

and I do love her, but that's never gonna deny

the feelings I had for you.

It's a very odd discussion to have with you,

someone who, I've see other girls,

they were just girls I've seen,

and you're different than that.

You've been more special than any other girl I've seen.

[smooches] I'll see you later.

[slow dramatic music]

[exhales]

- You all right?

- I'm fine.

[guests cheer]

- Firstly, I'd like to start by saying

how beautiful my fiance looks tonight,

and I'd like to give her a big round of applause.

[guests clap]

Right, now, this is very hard for me to do.

I never ever open up about the way I feel,

fuck.

- [Nanny Pat] Take a couple of deep breaths, Mark.

- Basically, over the years,

I've always got this ego trip about me,

why the fuck I get emotional?

- Ah, I would to, I swear to God to you.

- Right, I always try and give off this big ego,

like I'm Mister Playboy and whatever else,

I never open up about this girl.

Why am I doing that?

- [Lauren] God, I love you!

I love you.

- Come on, Mark!

- Don't worry.

- Right, so basically, I just wanna tell you lot all at once

rather than keep denying,

for fucks sake!

What the fuck am I doing?

[guests laugh]

- What the fuck are you doing?

What is wrong with you?! - I get emotional

every time I speak!

- [Carol] What is wrong with you?

- I dunno!

I'm just gonna get to the fucking point.

- It's beautiful, go on.

- Right, last time I'm gonna say that,

basically, I'm trying to say,

this girl means the world to me,

I've took this step in my life, obviously,

why you're all here tonight,

'cause it's a step I've chose.

Some of you might not believe it, some of you might it but

I love this girl, she means the world to me,

and I've gotta tell you all that now rather than hiding it,

rather than telling you all individually.

I want you all to support us all the way through,

through the wedding, if we make it.

[guests laugh]

- If everyone lets us [chuckles].

- Oh, here we go.

- Basically, I've been this playboy,

I've been to Miami, been with a top model out there,

but let me tell you,

[guests laugh]

but still when I wake up in the morning,

it still don't feel as good as it does with this girl,

that's the girl I love, I've realised that now.

[guests clap]

- [Narrator] Next time on "The Only Way is Essex,"

Can Lauren get on the right side of the Wright family?

- I think that's because you don't like me.

- [Narrator] Will Sam miss her Mark?

- I feel like I wanna move on, but I can't.

- [Narrator] Will Arg continue to horse around?

And are there any growers or showers out there

for Gemma, Chloe and Maria?

- I wonder what Mark got, it's like him big?

He must have some sorta tool down there?

- [Narrator] Who knows.

These people are real, and anything can happen

on "The Only Way is Essex."
