Let’s be honest, most women would take a second look at TOWIE star James Lock if they saw him walking down the street, he is pretty easy on the eye.

The reality star is used to receiving positive comments about his good looks on social media, not to mention, we imagine, numerous DMs from adoring fans all wanting a slice of Lockie pie.

Lovely Lydia Bright had a tough job putting up with on/off boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent. After Arg's cheating ways proved too much to deal with, Lydia walked away from their relationship and the show in 2012, but returned for a few special episodes.

Arg was the loveable cheeky chap who could first be found singing around the bars of Essex. After proving to be a pretty lousy boyfriend to Lyds and being suspended from the show for partying, Arg went into rehab and came out a new man.

Poor Lauren Goodger was always in distress over long-term boyfriend Mark Wright. The future never really looked promising for this couple. In fact, she famously pushed Mark into a swimming pool.

Mark married Michelle in 2015 and now has a TV career in LA, presenting a show called Extras. The pair are VERY loved up and we reckon it's far less dramatic than his previous relationships.

Young Harry was the cousin of Amy Childs and just as glamorous as her. Who can forget when he performed as Lady Gaga at his birthday party?

Harry started a relationship with co-star Bobby Norris but it ended after Harry reportedly cheated. Harry recently opened up about his battle with an eating disorder, but he looks to be doing well, and is now a pretty amazing makeup artist. Do you think he's had lip fillers? Hmmm.

Sam Faiers first hit screens when best mate Amy Childs gave her a vajazzle. She gave in to Mark Wright's romantic pursuits for a short while, but it was her relationship with Joey Essex that won our hearts (sob).

But now Maria looks VERY happy in her new role as a mum to Evie, who she had with boyfriend Kelvin Batey.

Nanny Pat

Nanny Pat was the voice of reason that the TOWIE cast needed. She doted on her grandkids Mark and Jess Wright, and always dished out the best advice. She also knew how to let her hair down. Sadly, 80-year-old Pat died in 2015.

However, James recently posted a picture on his Instagram page captioned ‘three wise men’, that received more negative comments than usual from his 859k followers.

The snap in question shows him sandwiched between ex-EastEnder Dean Gaffney and former Love Island star Josh Ritchie, who also happens to be Charlotte Crosby’s (very recent) ex.

The pic received tons of hilarious comments, with one fan saying, “Don’t know about wise”

Another said, “Hanging about with Robbie Fowler, you must think you’re well hard.”

While another added, “More like three stooges.”

A fourth commented, “Must be doing some reality show…”

Spot on, my friend – the trio are gearing up for the next series of Celebs Go Dating appearing on Channel 4 very soon and we can’t wait.

Lockie is known for his on-off explosive relationship with Yasmin Oukellou, who ended their relationship in September last year amid claims he’d cheated on her while they were on holiday, something he denies.

Both of the TOWIE favs have struggled to come to terms with the end of the relationship, and, while they’ve both had flings with other people, nothing serious has emerged thus far.

Rewind to 2014 when James was in a relationship with Danielle Armstrong, they too eventually split because of James’ alledged philandering ways – sad times.

Perhaps the TOWIE hunk will find the love of his life with the help of dating coaches Paul Brunson and Anna Williamson? Watch this space…
