The most recent series of TOWIE has seen the cast enjoying a few weeks in Thailand and among the fall outs, fights and flirting - a new face has popped up.

Although we said goodbye to five (yes, five) cast mates from the last season including Hannah Voyan and Yazmin Oukhellou, that didn't stop the producers from sneaking in a newbie in the form of James Lock, aka Lockie's little bro, George.

At the moment George has taken the role of supporting cast and it looks as though that is the part he is more than happy with.

During an exclusive chat at the launch of Levo, James' brand new gym wear brand, the TOWIE star chatted about his brother's time on the reality show.

"Yes, he’s doing a little cameo," Lockie confirmed, "He’s not going to be a full-time castmate. He’s still going to do the cameos and he got a good reception."

The Essex crew are now back in the UK and although George hasn't had the biggest impact, since Lockie's pal Pete Wicks left the show we're sure having his brother part of the Essex gang is always fun.

"He’s a lot quieter than me, I’d like to see him come back," Lockie added.

George was never officially announced as new TOWIE cast member but his appearance on the shows official instagram page before the show began had us doing some digging.

Posing alongside Jordan Brook and Roman Hackett, we all wanted to know the identity of the dashing long haired fella and it turned out to be none other than George.

Fans had commented on the post asking, "Who's the guy in the last photo trying to be a @jameslock_? Lookalike😂".

Well, there ARE siblings which means they are going to be looking remarkably similar.

On their first morning in Thailand, the Lock brothers both headed to the gym (do they realise it's a HOLIDAY?) and Lockie couldn't help but jump right into the role of big brother as he took to Instagram to shade his younger brother by declaring, "Young Lockie - the ugly version."

We're not sure about that. George might not be in full on Tarzan mode like Lockie but he is giving us strong Disney Prince vibes, the brown eyes and long hair is very Flynn Rider from Tangled if you ask us.

Sadly, George's Instagram is private so we kept out sleuthing to minimum.
