And what a treat this one is.

Dan Edgar has joined the Essex-based reality show, which returns on Sunday.

Electrician Dan, 24, is well acquainted with the Essex gang and his best mate is none other than James 'Diags' Bennewith.

But Lydia Bright has slightly ruined Dan's arrival for us by revealing that he's taken.

Se told OK! magazine: "He has a girlfriend. They've been on and off for years."

Just like most Essex relationships then...

Dan was spotted filming in B&Q with some of his new cast mates this week, but it's unclear whether or not he was in Tenerife with them.

Is this Dan's on/off girlfriend?

A source told The Sun: "He is a familiar face among the cast, being friends with Diags, Arg and Lewis Bloor.

"They have partied in Faces and Nu Bar for years."

Meanwhile Ricky Rayment’s new girlfriend Marnie Simpson, 21, has denied she’s swapping Geordie Shore for The Only Way Is Essex.

Marnie won't be swapping Newcastle for Essex

She said: “No! Definitely not! I’m not cut out for that, I’ll stick with Geordie Shore.”

We hope Dan is ready for the TOWIE drama - last week Lydia Bright joked they'd renamed their holiday destination "Tenergrief" because of all the arguments.

She said: "There has never been so many arguments on one holiday. There was so much commotion, tears and tantrums."

We can't wait! The Only Way Is Essex returns Sunday at 10pm on ITVBe.

Apart from the darker hair and plumper lips, Lauren hasn't changed much. Her love for selfies has defintiely grown considerably, though.

What a difference four years makes! Businesswoman Amy has toned her whole look down and looks fabulous for it!

Mark's big sister's motto must have been 'less is more'. But these days she's sexy without flashing too much flesh.

Yummy mummy Billie rarely puts a foot wrong nowadays and we much prefer her as a blonde.

Ultra chic Lydia is arguably one of the trendiest TOWIE girls now, but it hasn't always been that way...

Just like Popey, Maria is almost unrecognisable! The red hair is much more flattering on her skin tone.
