Reality star Jess Wright reveals her daily diet, the strangest thing she's eaten and what she refuses to eat, and Closer nutritionist Juliette Kellow gives her verdict
How much do you spend per week?
Anything between £60 and £100 a week. If I buy all my house essentials too, then it ends up going to £120 a week. I go to any of the big supermarkets, but I prefer shopping instore than online.
Describe your daily diet?
If I’m running around and going to the gym, I won’t have a proper breakfast but I’ll have a fresh juice of ginger, apple, celery and cucumber. For lunch I’ll either have a protein shake, a crab meat salad or a turkey and cottage cheese on Ryvita. For dinner I’ll have fish with vegetables. I snack on things like fruit, chocolate rice cakes, pea rice snaps dipped in houmous, popcorn or protein bars.

Harry Derbridge, series 1- 3 and 12
Harry Derbridge was a Towie original and still holds a very special place in our hearts. He made a welcome return to the show as Bobby Norris's love interest but, allegedly, cheated on him.

Harry now works it as a make-up artist. Is it us, or does he look like he might have had a little help with lip fillers?

Maria Fowler, series 1 - 3
Maria, on the left with Joey Essex and Chloe Sims in 2011, was in the show from the get-go but her TV career was rocked when it was alleged she'd worked as an escort. She's since said she quit 'by mutual consent' after she refused an on-screen romance with Mick Norcross.

Dan Osborne, series 8 - 14
Dan Osborne, pictured here with James Argent in 2013, managed seven series on the show. He was given the boot after a series of recordings, claiming to show Dan being verbally abusive towards his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin, came to light.

Dan is still in the spotlight due to his relationship with ex-EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa. In May 2018 he described their marriage as "unhappy".

Amber Dowding, series 18 - 21
Amber was part of a mega cull of seven Towie characters in January 2018. She claimed that she and her boyfriend Chris Clark were cut because they were happy. They've now split and Chris has reappeared on the show.

Amber Dowding, 2018
If Amber's social media is anything to go by, she now appears to mostly be on holiday. Pretty goals from where we're sitting.

Mike Hassini, series 16 - 18 and 21
Mike Hassini brought a hot bod to Towie and...not much else. He was cut in January 2018 due to a lack of storylines as he was loved-up outside the telly show.
![Mike Hassini](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b04/38cb/108d/e907/19cd/b74c/Mike%20Hassini.png?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Mike Hassini, 2018
Mike is working as a PT, still loved-up, and still has a very hot bod. He has subsequently appeared briefly in gym scenes on the show.

Jack Rigden, series 20 - 21
Jack Rigden tried hard, so hard, to make an impression on Towie but his lack of on-screen romance and agg saw him get very little camera time. He was part of the big cull of January 2018.
![Jack Rigden, 2018](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b04/3a5b/108d/e907/19cd/b765/jack-rigden-insta.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Jack Rigden, 2018
Jack's Instagram bio describes him as an "absolute geezer". Which is nice.

Jordan Brook, series 20 - 21
Jordan and Jack were brought in as friends of Megan McKenna. When she quit, they were left without any storylines.

Ricky Rayment, series 4 - 14
We still think very fondly of Ricky. His rocky relationship with Jess Wright was a huge part of the show but when they finally broke up, well... Ricky left the show "by mutual agreement"with Towie bosses.
![Ricky Rayment, 2018](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b04/3ed5/108d/e907/19cd/b7c5/ricky%20rayment%20insta.png?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Ricky Rayment, 2018
Ricky now seems to mainly go fishing.

Tom Pearce, series 5 - 13
Remember when Tom Pearce dated Lauren Goodger following her split from Mark Wright? That was an odd time. He was quietly shown the back doorof the show in 2014.
![Tom Pearce, 2018](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b04/43d0/108d/e907/19cd/b824/tom%20pearce%20insta.png?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Tom Pearce, 2018
Honestly? We're not 100% sure what Tom is actually doing these days. He used to work in the City, and his holidays certainly look pretty epic, so maybe that.

Grace Andrews, series 11 - 12
Grace almost had a romantic relationship with Lewis Bloor (shudder) and that was the beginning and end of her time on Towie.
![Grace Andrews, 2018](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b04/4592/108d/e907/19cd/b856/grace%20andrews%20insta.png?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Grace Andrews, 2018
Grace is now involved in a semi-permanent make-up company. Those Towie stars must really hate cleanser.

Fran Parman, series 11 - 16
Fran's original romantic interest was Tom Pearce but he stepped aside to allow Diags to woo her. Bad luck. Their relationship was turbulent but apparently not turbulent enough for show producers. Diags stayed, she went.
![Fran Parman, 2018](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b04/4887/108d/e907/19cd/b88e/fran-parman-2018.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Fran Parman, 2018
Fran and Diags split and she now hangs out in clothing that does not look very practical.
![Jasmin Walia, series 1 and 7 -17](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b06/dae1/5393/4c0e/aeb8/c5a2/jasmin-walia-towie.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Jasmin Walia, series 1 and 7-17
Jasmin managed eight series until she was given the boot. In 2015 her agent stated: "TOWIE is very storyline dependent and Jasmin did not have much going on that we could show on screen."Ouch. She went on to audition for The X Factor. It did not go well. She also took part in reality show Desi Rascals, that lasted for one series.
![Jasmin Walia, 2018](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5b06/dbf9/5393/4c0e/aeb8/c5f4/jasmin%20walia.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Jasmin Walia, 2018
Jasmin is still being papped, which is more than can be said for some of the other ex-Towie stars.
![Jake Hall, series 14 - 17](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5c2c/db46/6b79/5a7d/cdaa/7b9c/jake-hall-towie.png?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Jake Hall, series 14 - 17
Jake's time of TOWIE was mainly characterised by him being mean to our sweet Essex princess Chloe Lewis including many accusations of infidelity, plus rumours he'd slept with Megan McKenna.

Jake subsequently became engaged to former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Misse Beqiri. They have a baby together but in December 2018Jake was given a restraining order following a bust up with his fiancée.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve eaten?
I’ve tried oysters so many times and I still don’t like them. People are addicted to them and I just don’t understand why.
What's your food hangover cure?
I usually have anything salty, or something like beans on toast with cheese on top and a cup of sugary tea.
What do you refuse to eat?
Veal and Brussel sprouts. I just don’t like either of them at all.

What's your takeaway treat?
Indian. I’ll have a chicken tikka masala with rice and naan if I’m being really naughty and cheeky.
What's your guilty pleasure food?
Chinese. I’ll have salt and pepper king prawns, Singapore noodles, chips and curry sauce.

What would you cook to impress someone?
I would make a spaghetti Bolognese, it’s really easy plus men always love it. I’d serve it with shop bought garlic bread on the side.

Closer nutritionist Juliette Kellow says, ‘Jess would benefit from eating more at mealtimes, and snacking less. Rather than skipping breakfast, it’s important for her to have a proper meal when she’s busy or working out to provide her with long-lasting energy – porridge, fruit with yogurt and oats, or eggs and avocado with wholegrain toast are good choices. It would also be better to get her protein from foods that are packed with other nutrients, too, such as chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, beans or lentils, rather than relying on protein shakes and bars.’
